THE FBENCH CLUB Le Cercle Francais consists of a group of French students who are eager to speak French fluently. They are interested in the cultural advantages of the language. At the meetings the members play such games as Les Nombres and Qu'est ce Que C'est? They also sing French songs and present French plays. During past semesters the Club has visited the Art Institute and attended a performance of Le Barbier de Seville. The group is under the supervision of Miss Edith Collom. LATIN CLUB The Latin Club is one of the oldest organizations in Du Sable and 1S primarily composed of upper classmen who have taken under their guidance a group of lower classmen from the Latin classes. The latter are called The Little Latin Friends. Both groups are interested in this language and 1n the cultural advantages it offers. This year the club has a new sponsor because of the retirement of its former one, Mrs. Mary S. Hamilton. The present sponsor is Miss Nelmatilda L. Ritchie. The officers are: Mardell C. Rodgers, president: Lillian Burbridge vice president: Eugene Ball, reporter: Barbara Dawson, sergeant-at-arms and Irma Dawson, chairman of program committee. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLUB The Public Speaking Club, sponsored by Mr. George R Dorsey is com posed of the public speaking class and former members of that class Each member is trained to give a forceful discourse on almost any subject The purpose of this club is to coach its members in the following ways to pronounce and enunciate distinctly: to have command of the audience s atten tion: and to feel at ease before a group. Public speakers realize that verbal speeches are more effective than printed ones. The European dictators put over their important points to the audience by emphasizing them with forcefulness thus the listeners are persuaded to do as the speakers wish. Members of this organization understand this and strive to impress and sway our school audiences in a similar manner. Page Forty-eight
