This was followed up with a joint banquet with Chem. Club which proved to be a great success for both organiza- tions. Dr. Storms of the Gerber Company was the speaker of the evening. In May a Mother-and- Daughter Banquet was held and the season was topped off with a Tea honoring the Sophomores.

Chemistr lub Between test tubes, beakers, bunson burners, and scales, the faces of chemistry students peer forth lighted with that fanatical joy that character- izes the discovery of an unknown. With the aim of furthering the knowledge of chemistry applied commercially and industrially, the Chemistry Club activities included a number of lectures and tours. Trips through the Alabas- tine Paint Company and the Sewage Disposal Plant and lectures by such speakers as Dr. Smith from the University of Michigan were 'both inter- esting and educational. Then, too, the Club had an active social life which began with a picnic at Mr. Dow's home and ended with the annual Chem. Club-Home Ee. Ban- quet and the Chemistry Club Banquet. Mr. Doane and Mr. Dow, chemists superior, have infused into the members the true aims of the organization this year and they are to be congratulated on the fine job they have done. Q. . President . .

Le Cercle F rancai 4'Bon jour mademoiselles et messieursf' Such is the way that French linquist Miss Amy Broome brusquely salutes the bright C?j and smiling CU faces of her morning classes. From then on the French gets tougher and the interest greater. Miss Broome and the French Club, despite the waning of France as a nation, have endeavored this year to preserve the old French atmosphere through French games, speeches by members in French on current events or on the provinces of ' - France, outside speakers, and through the Fete Francaise, an annual dinner. The Fete was given this year on March 19, and true French food was served. A program on Debussy, including piano selections, was given by Miss Florence Efty. Another large meeting of April 21 highlighted the year - Mrs. MacCose was the speaker, and to hear her, High School French Clubs were invited. The May meeting was a picnic at which next yea.r's officers were elected. President . Thelma Hauer Vice-President . . Harold Wheeler Secretary . . Zabelle Goolian Treasurer . .
