Spanish Club Preiiderzt Yirginia Kincaid Vjre-Premlezir Lucy Rice .Slerretmjy .june Feinburg Treumrer Audrey Stewart The Spanish Club has grown markedly in the past few years and is now one of the foremost clubs in school. This year it provided an opportunity for about thirty or more students to gather to speak Spanish and fa- miliarize themselves With the Latin American countries. Movies and guest speakers often con- tributed to the programs. Topics and skits were sometimes pre- sented by the girls, and always the meetings were conducted in Spanish. The Spanish banquet or Fiend in May was the climax to a grand year of education and enioyment with the Spanish Club. French Club President Mary Sharp Vice-Preriderzf Frances Penrose .ieeretafji Anne Henry Once a month, at four-forty on Tuesdays, we bent our steps to- ward the little Malmaison, where the French Club has held its meetings for thirty-eight years. Greeted with Bonjour, Made- moiselle, we sat down to tea and the afternoons entertainment. We shall remember well the plays, Jean-Marie, Par un ,Iour de Pluie, La Faim Est un Grand Inventecer, and especially the famous Chateau-yquemu given by the faculty. The film of Les Precieuses Ridiculesn transported us to the Comedie Francaise in Paris, and we were delighted with the pro- gramme of monologues by Mrs. Lee, Tony, and Mademoiselle Arosa.

GZVWGD Preridezzf Ann Sickels .Sl6L'l'Efz1lf1 'lean Hurlbut The Dana Hall German Club reconvened this year. Miss Blatta ner, our adviser, was the source of a wealth of picture postcards, which, together with notes gath- ered by different members, ac- quainted us a little more with those German cities which we may never be able to see as they have been. Also, in our monthly meetings, we discussed prominent Germans and exercised our know- ledge of the language, while coffee was served in a fascinating collection of cups. The traditional Tand Partiew ended our year with a gay touch, and we leave the club with the wish for an equally bright coming year. 'tx World Affairs Club Prefideuf Phyllis Edmunds Vice-Pre.rZde11f ,Ioan Alford Serretufjr-Trerzmfer Phillis Ripley On Sunday afternoons, the members of the World Affairs Club frequently assembled at Greenlow for discussions of cur- rent world events and trends. The programs were varied, touch' ing on many aspects of world problems. Informal reviews ofthe news by the members kept us in- formed about important national and international questions. Often the World Affairs Club was given the opportunity to meet important speakers who came to the school and to ask them questions. One such personage was Dr. Howard Thurman, head of Howard Sem- inary in Washington.
