Its main object was to give the members not only an acquaintance with German literature, but a more definite opportunity actually to use the spoken language, As the total enrollment was small in those classes which had studied German long enough to profit by membership in the club, the ad' vanced German classes formed the initial en' rollment of the club without any restrictions with regard to the scholastic standing of these members. At the first meeting of the groups, the folf lowing officers were chosen: president, A, Mariotti, vicefpresident, J. Wollner, secretary, Louis Wagner, treasurer, Alice Sheahan. The club was especially fortunate in the choice of its president, as Arno Mariotti speaks German fluently. 66 Special features at the meetings of the club included an illustrated talk in German, Gcrf many and its principal Cities , a short skit in German, based on an episode in Der Schweif gersohnu, the reciting of deutsche marchen , and the singing of household deutsche liederf' The only public social event sponsored by the club was a successful German Dance, given in the gymnasium in February. The room was decorated with German and American colors. Special features of the program were an oboe solo by President Mariotti, a specialty dance by the Misses Sheahan and Jacopian, and an old German street band act by a group of horn-players from our school orchestra. Language clubs prove a valuable aid to classroom work, inasmuch as the members ref ceive an opportunity to use the foreign tongue in games, dramatics, and singing. Besides, an opportunity for social life is provided, such as is not possible in the ordinary classroom routine. fl
