The Cdpilolian Lp-x Latin Club Consuls, Ma.ry Gillham Qudesfor, Judith Lawson Merle Carter The Latin Club or The Roman Republic was organized by the head of the Latin Department, Miss Elizabeth Smith, in April, 1930. The forty members of the club are divided into four groups which are known as Senators, Friends of the Roman People, the F-Inman people, and the Slaves. The oficers of the S. P. Q. R. are two Consuls, a Quaestor, and Pontifex Maximus. In the consulship of Merle Carter and Mary Gillham we had a most successful year. Judith Lawson, the Quaestor, succeeded in collecting all the taxes this year without carrying out her desperate threat of exiling citizens from the common- wealth. The success of the club is always due to our faithful adviser whose patience, en- thusiasm, and interest in the club have meant so much to the organization. This year members of the club enjoyed many interesting programs, one of which was the initiation cf the seventeen slaves whose ability of receiving a grade of A in Latin admitted them to the club. Pledging allegiance to the S. P. Q. R. flag and proudly wearing the insignia of the republic abiding by the constitution, both citizens and slaves enjoyed bi-monthly meetings of this ancient but modern society. Pups- lilly-six

Nm'1'vfr11'gf, Cecil Campbell 'I'rf'asurf'r, Albert Hulette The I-Ii-Y Club has just been through one of its most memorable years. It has done much toward the betterment of the students of the school and the welfare of those in need in our community. In the early part of December the Older Boys' Conference was held here, which made it possible for our Club to be the host to youths from every part of Central Ken- tucky. At Thanksgiving and at Christmas the Club collected and distributed food for the needy of this community. It is felt that the Club has done its work satisfactorily and has closed the year with an unmarred record. Page tiftyetive

The purpose of this organization is the training of girls in efficient and active leadership. At Christmas, the members of the club had a. party for their mothers, each girl making a useful gift to give her mother. Another interesting piece of work accomplished was the entertainment of the Paris Basketball Team after the Paris-Frankfort game. Each year some type of social service work is done. This year some clothing' was made and given to the Red Cross. The club has done all in its power to help student and community life, a.nd we sincerely hope we have succeeded as far as possible. 1-' Page 'nifty-seven
