SER VICE KEY CLUB A club that is deserving of high praise for its excellent service for the past five years is called the Key Club.

Besides the usual activities, in the fall the mem- bers handled the scoreboard for all home games at Darling Field. During the basketball season, the club sold Scorecards to fill their depleted treasury. FELlClTA CLUB Service to school and community played a big part in the lives of the iunior and senior girls who made up the membership of the Felicita Club. The club's motto accounted for the girls servicing the Hospitality Shop at the Nathan Lit- tauer Hospital on weekends selling candy and other articles in order to make the patients more comfortable. This was well-handled by the chair- man of the Hospital Committee, Bonnie Archinal. The Felicita girls also worked for the local chapter of the Red Cross and solicited funds in the local door to door drives for benefits. During the basketball season they were practically in- dispensable at the Park Terrace Gym. The girls were called upon to usher and to sell candy and soft drinks.

53355. The French Club officers are discussing problems with Miss Cassidy, advisor. Gerry Sarantos, president, presides over a meeting of the officers to decide what affairs to discuss at the next meeting. FRENCH CLUB French Club has done much to encourage stu- dents who are studying the French language to apply their learning. With its officers: President, Gerry Sarantos, Vice President, Martha Balzano, Secretary, Nancy Barter, Recorder, Jacquelyn Mar- tin, and its Advisor, Miss Caroline Cassidy, the club planned and conducted its meetings in French. Every month a phase of French history, a physical aspect of the land itself, or some his- torical or interesting city or province is discussed. French songs and short skits also composed the entertainment. The meetings of Le Cercle Francais, French Club, were usually held during the noon hour of the first Monday of every month, except on occasions when guest speakers have appeared before the club. Speakers presented films of their trips to France and notes on interesting places visited or events which happened to them. Other French Clubs from surrounding schools attended the meetings. This gave the clubs new ideas for expansion and betterment. The important feature of the French Club which was begun last year was the exchange of corre- spondence between students in France and stu- dents in the local French classes. This proved to be very successful and did much to acquaint our students with the actual home and school life of young Frenchmen.
