COMMERCE YEAR EooK, 1913 DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN ER DEUTSCHE VEREIN CThe German Clubj is the third language club of the school. It was organized in September, 1911, its purpose being similar to that of the other language clubs. Since that time it has held regular meetings under the guidance of lVIr. Roessler. One characteristic distinguishes this club from all other clubs of the school- not everyone in the 'school is eligible for membership. Every prospective member must first be nominated 'by Mr. Roessler. Thus an efficient and in- dustrious group of fellows arelgotten together. It is interesting to note that everything that is spoken is in the language that has been adopted by the club. It can therefore readily be seen that this organization is of very great benefit to the progressive students of the school. .

FRENCH CLUB SR ' PAUL-BROWN rf: Il ARLY in the spring of 1907 the club called The Strollers was formed. It had always been a agfeilaitgiipleasure for many fellows to take long walks around the city,ril a1fgilfli'to attend out-of-town games of the different teams., so for this purpose club was organized. During the Easter vacation of 1910 a few of the members strolled to Philadelphia in the record time of 27 hours actual walking time. But the longest walk ever undertaken by this club was that to Albany. During the Easter vacation of 1907 a few of the members reached the Capitol in 38 hours of walking. About this time The Strollers found an efficient and active faculty adviser in Mr. Joseph Kahn, who had kindly consented to help further the good work of the society. During the past term the Strollers have visited Hackensack, East Orange, Poughkeepsie, Tottenville and Montclair. They have also had as their guests many well-known pedestrians who have given many interesting talks on the science and benefits of walking. . OFFICERS S Presidknzf ..... .......
