Zupsich Qbelow, leftj solicits his students to become German Club members. Throughout the years the foundation of Morton's language clubs has been to promote a cultural awareness of their language's native country. They helped members and other students to appreciate old world life styles. In these respects the five language clubs, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Czech, were very much alike, yet each had its own distinctions. German Club held in a traditional German manner an Oktoberfest at Halloween and entered the door decorating contest for homecoming. French Club members went to various hospitals to carol during the Christmas holidays. Aside from entering a float in the homecoming parade, Czech Club hoped to raise enough money to help establish a permanent professorship of the Czech language at the University of Chicago. All the clubs held sales as fund raisers for their activities. ACTIVITIES 85
