I believe in Latin, because it develops observation, accuracy, and concen- tration ot mind and thus lays the foundation tor success in business or profes- sional lite. II. I believe in Latin, because it develops the memory, the reason, the judg- ment, and the imagination. Ill. I believe in Latin, because through translation it trains one to express himself in English with clearness and force, it is also an indispensable requisite for civic influence. IV. I believe in Latin, because it familiarizes one with the history and the thought of the greatest nation of antiquity. V. I believe in Latin, because there is no other school study that so strongly combines thorough mental discipline with an acquaintance with the language and civilization at the basis ot our own, and the ability to express one's views convincingly. The Circus Latinus this year With titty-six members has been very active. Membership is limited to upperclassmen and freshmen with a high average. A masked Halloween Party was held at the home ot one of the members. In November the freshmen were initiated according to the Roman custom ot accepting the children into the family, In December the club enjoyed a Christ- mas Party. We have been entertained by the musical talent ot the Ietterson stu- dents. First row Darnell, Morris, Bell, Widener, Taylor, B, Iohnson, E. Grey, Finnegan, E.

The meetings are held once each month at the homes of the members Every- one in the club participates in the numerous dialogues, sketches, and articles some time during the year. The president and other officers conduct the meetings entirely in French and all endeavor to pronounce correctly the few words they have to say. The programmes consist of interesting facts taken from French life and much cooperation is given by all to make them a success. Songs are sung in French 'Au Clair de la Lune and Frere Iacgues' are the most popular, This year the members of one of the smaller French classes gave a novel Christmas play, An interesting dialogue was given in which an American girl who is very inex- perienced in speaking French receives instructions on how to reach her hotel These were very amusing and offered variety to the programmes. Students who attend Le Cercle Francais enjoy it because of its informality and the opportunity to speak French outside the more formal class room The club gives them a chance to learn more about the customs in an entertaining fashion. Nearly everyone who is talzing or who has taken French attends the meetings V. 'rn fx-:lf
