THE PIONEER gat MN EI.. CIRCULO ESPANOL HE Spanish Club was organized late in September under the supervision of Miss VVarren. The main purposes of this club are to arouse the students' in- terest in this colorful language and to create sociability and sincerity among the members. The club meets every third Thursday of the month. Thus far the program Committee Ca different committee is elected at each meetingl has provided some ex- cellent programs in Spanish. On one occasion the club was entertained by a few members of the club who presented a play, Que Felicidadu. VVe also visited a Spanish production, El Hombre lXfIalo , in November, which was playing at the San Jose Theater. The talkie was delightful, and it was surprising to find out that we understood practically all of it. At first the members were limited in number, only the second year students being eligible to join, but we have decided to enlarge our enrollment by admitting the first year students of good standing to our club. We have also decided to communicate with Spanish students of Spain and South America. The officers are: president, Helen Visconti, and secretary, Edith Rafanello. The membership at present includes: Amy Casper, Louise Roehrer, lklarion Miller, Gertrude Piel, Stella lyluraska, lkiildred Kressler, Ethel Britt, Anthony Nlaissano, Eugene Karle, Robert lfVhite, George Nfuller, and Guido Nlumbretti.

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.-
