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.

EI Cervantes EL CERVANTES, so called since its establishment at Georgian Court College, was formulated to pay homage to the famous Miguel de Cer- vantes, author of the immortal Don Quixote, and to stimulate interest in all phases of Spanish literature and life. At informal monthly meetings, Spanish en- thusiasts may be heard discussing the social, political and religious problems facing our South American neighbors, or perhaps listening attcntivcly to various records of the works of outstanding Spanish artists. lf one should hear the twang of guitars, followed by a chorus of Buenas Noches, Mi Amor, there can be no doubt that the El Cervantes Quintet is entertain- ing the club, with renditions of the native songs of the various countries of the Americas. Added to the ordinary club activities of the year, the members of the Spanish Department took a great deal of delight in three major pro- jects. First, an interested group visited the Spanish Museum at 168th Street, New York City, where they were charmed and fascinated for several hours with the marvels of Old and Modern Spain. Secondly, the annual Fiesta took place in April and proved to be even bigger and better than those of former years. Cour- tiers will never forget the grace of the Spanish dance as exhibited during fiesta time at Geor- gian Court College. Probably the highlight of the year was the visit to a United Nations ses- sion at Lake Success, during the month of April. Majors and minors of the Spanish Department were thrilled to hear the marvelous discussions rendered by the various delegates on social problems in the Americas. This year's leading senoritas were: Presi- dent, Barbara Gaynorg Vice President, Ida Squatritog Secretary, Gerry Minturn, and Treas- urer, Janet Rush. Learn by listening is the motto of Spanish Club officers: Janet Rush, Treasurer, Gerry Minturn, Secretary, Ida Squalrito, Vice President, and Barbara Gaynor, President. .1 f'N'ii x i .4 U. 3? , t' M , . - ' '31 Q :if -,H J . ,,ffW5?f o-N- if J? 4 A 6 Y fx aj.
