They asked ques- tions to discover the types of articles customers pre- ferred and where they bought them. The group compiled the results and presented them to the businessmen in the form of a brochure. In keeping with the Christmas tradition of giving, the club adopted' ’ two families. They supplied the fami- lies with money, clothes, food, and many gifts tor the children. The DE Club competed in district, state, and national contests.

Latin Club Latin Day — A Big Event For Students of Classics For today's lunch we will have assa bubulaeet caepis. Thus began Latin Day sponsored by the Latin Club. In addition to the special lunch menu, Latin students wore signs to identify themselves as lan- guage pupils and decorated a showcase with Ro- man objects and projects by Latin students. As members of the Junior Classical League, students received pins and membership cards. The club programs were presented by members them- selves. These were based on such topics as ancient Roman history and life, essays by Marcus Tullius Cicero, and Winnie Ille Pooh. Aside from translation and grammar, all Latin Club members had to learn a passage from one of Cicero's orations. The goal of the organization was to involve more people in the activities of the Latin Club. Anne Street and Duke Collier fix one of the showcases with projects by Latin students.
