The Polish Youth Club under the supervision of Mr. Peplowski, was organized in April, 1935. Its progress has been rapid since its founding, and we look forward to even more flourishing years. The club offers to its members various types of entertainment, such as lectures by prominent Polish people, and discussions of Polish topics. It is an association which acquaints the members with the customs, art, language, literature and music of the Polish people. A number of trips have been made to museums to witness Polish exhibits, and these proved to be of great value and interest to the club members. Any student interested in the Polish language may become a member of this outstand- ing organization by registering at one of the meetings. Meetings are held every second Friday at 2:30 in Room 113. One of the most successful undertakings of the club was the Polish play presented last term in Public School No. 37. The play was a romance-comedy under the title of Wesele Zosif' The proceeds were given to the General School Fund. President ...............r.,............................r.................
