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 . .

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.

Que .muchachos mas tontos! With these exposulations ringing periodi- cally in their ears, Spanish, students dejectedly leave the classroom. There are times - few and far between - when the much-sought-after, sel- dom-gained phrase, 4GMuy bien hechoi' raises them 'to the heights. But whether the lessons are good -or bad, all turn out for the meetings of the newly formed Spanish.Club. This Club was formed by the students interested .in acquiring a broader knowledge of Spanish- speaking countries. Its sole purpose has been to obtain for the club interesting speakers who have .a personal knowledge of Latin America. Mr. President . . . Jeanne Kellar Vice-President . . Shirley Zimmer Secretary-Treasurer . Aileen Fuller My Hart belongs to Daddy. Baldwin, at an evening meeting, showed some colored slides of trips that he and his wife had made through Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Orval Veltman, 'who spent a summer in Mexico with his brother, attending the University of Mexico, had some enlarged photographs to illus- trate his talk on Mexican Art., Mr. Hart, our own excellent Spanish linguist, gave a talk on Mexico's constitutional history, and Miss Louise Schweitzer, teacher at one of the city high schools, had some unusual souvenirs to show the group. The Club has accomplished its 'purpose throughout the year in an interesting, enjoyable, and educational way.
