Deutsch Club 1 GOE'1'l-IE said: Three things are to be looked to in a building: that it stand on the right spotg that it be securely foundedg that it be successfully executed. The three ideas are native to 'LDer Deutsche Club. The association stands on uthe right spot . It has the motives of giving impetus to the study of the language, and increasing the knowl- edge of all phases of German literature. It ein- bodies mythical elements which unfold with the Nibelung-children-of-the-mist whose enchanted ring Siegfried won, the sagas of the Minnesing- ers whose poetry was imbued with the old reli- gious worship of the Virgin Mary, and the lit- erary output of contemporary time. This society is securely founded on tenets which call for an understanding of the peoples of the foreign land, and an endeavor to further the study of their customs, traditions, and his- tory. To execute these desires, a'Der Deutsche Club heard the moderator, internationalist Dr. Erich Juhn, lecture on aspects of German Cul- tureg listened to records of Schumann, Schu- bert, and symphonic favorites of the L'Three B's g and created programs in which they dis- cussed the importance of students encleavoring to translate the monumental uFaust of Goethe. 4'Der Deutsche Club officers are: Shirley Ap- plegate, Presidentg Esther Bonorden, Vice Pres- identg Trudy Hayes, Secretaryg Virginia Petro- vitch, Treasurer.
