THE PIONEER Vila IGN I-II-Y CLUB HE Fort Lee Hi-Y Club started off early in September with an executive meeting comprised of the faculty adviser and the officers. The form of meeting which was outlined for the rest of the year, called for a ritual, a group discussion, a business meeting, and a feature. In view of the difficulty in finding an open date in the afternoon, the meetings were held once every two weeks in the evening. The club, true to its purpose to aid the school and community, has undertaken several projects. The first has been the sale of candy at athletic contests. The funds thus obtained have been used to buy the school a banner which was presented at assembly, and to print baseball schedules. The checking of coats at school dances has been another service undertaken by the Hi-Y boys. The members have had several socials and are looking forward to a grand finale to be held sometime in June. The officers are Francis Petrosino, presidentg John lVIorrison, vice-presidentg Fred Oman, secretaryg Hector Zucchino, treasurerg Nlrl H. C. VVhittemore, faculty adviser.

THE PIONEER VN IN LE CERCLE FRANCAIS HF, French Club, or Le Cercle Francais, was organized during the pioneer days of our school, at the request of several older French students under the supervision of Miss VValler. Its membership is limited to the third and fourth year French classes. At the beginning of the second semester a number of superior students of the second year group are admitted to the club. i The meetings, which are held monthly, are carried on in French as far as possible, as one of the aims of the club is to develop French conversation. A topic is selected and announced previously at each meeting. Some one is chosen to prepare the program and a general discussion of the subject is held. Such topics as French art, music, drama, poetry, are selected. There are many benefits derived from this club. Besides its conversational op- portunity, its treatment of the various subjectsdiscussed has its educational and cul- tural value. The French Club is one of the few groups in which members of three classes are associated. Thus it is an invaluable asset in its promulgation 'of school Splrlt. NIARJORIE ORTLIP '31, -Mgr 48 iga.-
