Cay senoritas imprinted on little blue cards beckoned dancers to a sunset dance given by the club. A new exploit was intro- duced this year when a Spanish copy of the Readers Digest was sent to a South American correspondent, All the displays tor the Ex- hibit were attractively labeled in Spanish, and Spanish students dressed in the native cus- tume paraded the halls selling flowers. Some members combined their Spanish and journalistic talents to write, in Spanish, ac- counts of the club meetings and activities of the club tor the Barblet. LOWER PICTURE-FRENCH CLUB. Seatedi B.

The object of the French Club is to promote better speaking of French and to become ac- quainted with French games and customs, At its meetings strains of the popular song, The Last Time l Saw Paris, translated into French by ambitious members, can be heard. About Miss Carnal's room, you can see sev- eral C-uignols heroes ot the puppet shows in France, These puppets, displayed at the an- nual Spring Exhibit, were dressed as characters in the play Pathelin et Le Berger. Red, white, and blue programs, patriotic colors for France as well as the United States, lured all the Astaires and Rogers to a Mardi Gras sunset dance sponsored by this club. Page 29

The club's first activity was to sponsor the only legal slack day in the his- tory of DTHS. Another new activity that was popular with the students from visiting cities, as well as our own, was the sponsoring of after-game mixers. Players, spectators, and out-of-town visitors to the night's game thoroughly enjoyed the time when all the gang was together for a period of dancing. There were many disappointed faces when the clock traveled around to l l 230 p. m. As in previous years the Council presented a convocation in the early part of March. This year the program broke away from serious things with the production of a humorous drama entitled Who Killed School Spirit? The play, consisting of a murder, mock trial, and IM Aa.,.3..W.-iff-ff--,t..,.......,,,,,.,.,......,...,., ,,, a snake dance proved that School Spirit was K, I , .1 - I . .X V - '-1- K-lm.. not dead but only asleep. It was written, directed, and acted by the members of the group. A contest for high grades was sponsored by the Council between boys' and girls' home rooms in order to encourage better scholarship. After six-week grades were scored, a list of the ten highest home rooms was posted on the bulletin board. Q A'-i .i-- f .. .

The Art Club members stand for an abundance of original ideas and a creative ability, which is quite evident in the Art Exhibit at the Haish Library opened in May. Included in this exhibit are soap carvings, creative compo- sitions executed in color, block prints, and creative designs applied to vari- ous crafts. The above pictures show students at work on a stage set, on soap carvings, and at the easel. Page 30
