T Page 14 THE JAYHAWK Herman lilnh For the first time at Junior Col- lege the German Club invited the German students of Wyandotte high fschool to join the junior College club. This action was taken because of the few students of German lan- guage at Wyandotte and their desire for club' activity. The club had a vcry active year under the leadership of Bob Nugent, president: Bob Seutter, vice-presi- dent: Laura Mann, secretary, and Bruce Dimmett, treasurer. Miss Vio- letta Garrett sponsored the German Club, consisting of about forty mem- bers. . Thef Sauerkraut Essen, the an- nual banquet held at the St. Luke's Lutheran Church, was one of the outstanding meetings of the year. Another was the Christmas meeting held December 21, in the annex. The Christmas play Krippenspiel was given with Dorothy Ross and Bob Nugent taking the leading roles. Some of the interesting speakers on the programs were Dean J. F. Wellemeyer, Miss Olga Alber, who recently returned from a trip to Ger- inany, and Lothar Knauth, a German- born student. Then, too, there was the Christmas Sing when the Ger- man Club sang 'lKommet Ihr Hirten and a verse of Silent Night. French Elnh The Morocco Rendezvous, the only all-school formal dance of the year, was sponsored by the French Club on March 10, and was held in the junior College gymnasium. The exotic tropic atmosphere of a French Moroccan night club was effected by the elaborate decorations and the use ,of ,colored lights. Music for the 'forrnal party was by the Les Parisiens orchestra. Le Cercle Francais, although smaller than the other language clubs, upheld its reputation for being one of the most active organizations. The club was under the guidance of Mr. Howard Adams. Dorothy Crisp was the president. 'A picnic started off the year for the French Club. Other activities throughout the school year consisted of monthly programs, attending French: movies, and a banquet at the Green Parrot. 'At the Christmas Sing held De- 'cember 22', in the hall of the Horace Mann building, the French Club sang Ce Matin and a verse of Silent Night. MMYW, Y , Y I l i i ..
