EI Circulo Ponomericono Our Circulo Panamericano plans to meet once a month for an hour of Spanish activity, which includes conversation, mu- sic, and the study of art and literature of Spain and our sister republics in America. YYe aim to become better acquainted with the life and works of great leaders of these nations so as to understand the ideas and ideals of their people, and help later on in promoting mutual friendship between us and our neighbors to the south. Our Christmas program included Spanish Christmas Varols or l'1'Ilarzr'1'eo.v such as Venifl, 1'asfore.s', Uid Illl Son en ,Ilia Ifsjfera, .Yof-he 111' Paz, and Venid, l 1'c'1e.s Todos, a reading, La .vI1l'l.Ill1I1 1'fspano1a,' a trio. lYl'7Il.d, Pastorcillos, and other songs. The theme of our next meet- ing will be flIlSfUNIS and Ilabits QfSpa1'n. lYe are also interested in the his- tory and geography of Spanish-speaking lands and enjoy now and then meetings for which we secure the loan of Spanish films, showing us the great natural obstacles which the republics in South America have had to overcome in the cause of independ- ence and progress. Realizing that if we want to help promote inter-American unity, we should be able to speak Spanish better, we are trying to become more fluent, by making a strong effort to express our own ideas in idiomatic Spanish. lYe hope to use this knowledge in simple dramatic interpreta- tions.

Donald Schwartz Another year of war finds the Societas Latina sturdily active, telescoping the centuries to bring Roman life vitally near and clear in a social, instructive way. The program plans are distinctly varied. At the first meeting, arrangements were completed for the enrollment of the club as a chapter of the Junior Classical League, a branch of the American Classical League. In addition to the business meet- ings, two programs have been presented: Voting in the Roman Republic and a c1llI'iSl,IT1iLS party, with Uhristmas carols in Latin, a Latin game with prizes, and re- freshments. Souvenir napkins, with a reproduced snapshot of a bake-shop in Pompeii, as it looks today, gave a special Latin flavor. The subject of the next meeting is How the Romans Dressed. Later programs include, among other items, a short Latin play and visits to Fenway Court and the Boston Bluseum of Fine Arts. The pledge to our flag in Latin and Latin songs are given at each meeting. Greeting cards and Latin letters have been exchanged with the Latin Department of the Audubon High School in New Jersey. In its friendliness, interest, and accomplishment, our Societas Latina is following the tradition established by the group of pupils who organized and loved it. 'Terge modo : Only go on. 1161
