W The aim of the German Club is to learn more about the German language and, in so doing, learn more about the country of Germany. The manner in which we do this is twofold: hrst, the German Club carries on a correspondence with boys in Germany in order to learn more about the language. During our meetings we discuss these letters. Second, the Club discusses world problems concerning Germany in order to learn more about that country and its relationship to the rest of the world. These discussions have been made very interesting largely through the efforts of our moderator, Professor Erhard. This activity has made the study of German more interesting and more im- 7 Scdalmehge 66:45 One of the prime aims of Don Bosco Prep. is to prepare its students for further education. In order to get into college it is necessary to take a series of aptitude tests. This holds in many cases, and in order to give students who were doing well an even better chance, the Scholarship Club was formed. This club was put under the direc- tion of Bro. Joseph LaForge who imme- diately began to condense almost entire courses such as English, Mathematics, His- tory and other such fields. Through his precise enumeration of the important facts, concepts, and ideas of the various helds, the members of the Scholarship Club were able to absorb a great deal of knowledge in a very short time. The work was hard and sometimes Bro. joe found it necessary to round up his would be scholars from such places as the ball field. However, it became apparent to all the members of the club that the chance offered here was very valuable. The Scholarship Club has helped its members with their school work and has enabled them to get higher scores on many achievement tests. GERMAN CLUB: l. to r.: R. Hrubec, D. Wos, A.
