It is needless to speak of the value of a foreign language club. All know that it creates an interest, an enthusiasm, and a spirit of cooperation that can be secured in no other way. It is in the Spanish Club that one may enter upon all those activities -music, games, dances, plays-which always prove delightful but for which there is usually no time in the ordinary classroom work. Such student programs have been received enthusiastically throughout the year by the Club. Los Chicosu has also had the advantage of hearing lectures accompanied by slides, on Southern Spain, The Argentine and lNIexico.U The Club has increased its membership and now includes some fifty members in good standing.

Tr1'a.vurf'r Our membership is drawn from the .Iunior and Senior Classes and we represent the interest of the student body in International Relations. VVe meet twice a month, on the first and third Tuesday of the month, and discuss various problems of world-wide significance. From time to time we have speakers outside the school who speak to us concerning some particular problem. VVe do not believe that the mere formation of opinions about these much talked questions is an end in itself. It is our purpose to awaken and keep alive the interest of the students in world affairs, in the hope that we will develop a more sympathetic understanding of other people in other lands. The program for November was given by a group of club members. Raymond Sutherland gave a talk on the Hlklunitions Problemf' Vivian Rlunich and Curtis Reynolds spoke on f'The Social and Economic Conditions of Nazi Germany.'I The second semester the club was fortunate in having a series of interesting talks by the following men: Dr. E. G. Trimble, Dr. Paul H. Clyde, and Dr. Amry Vandenbosh, from the University of lientuckyg Dr. Charles LI. Turck, President of Center College, and Dr. Henry Noble Sherwood, President of Georgetown College. Z 0 PAGE I3
