To give French students a better and deeper appreciation of the culture of France is the aim of Le Cercle Saint Louis, our French Club. At our monthly meetings we delve into the folk- lore, music, art and literature of a great nation by having slides, records and reports. ln order to perfect our French pronunciation we put the voice recording machine to good use. ln do- ing research work on such important playwrights as Racine, Moliere and Corneille, we have obtained a clearer understanding of French drama. Yes, the varied activities of our club pro- mote a better understanding and appreciation of the customs and culture of France. En Garde! , Kneeling: J. Eichler, J. Lun- WY5 dine, s. Blanchard, M.

The main object ot the Spanish Club is to acquaint ourselves with the language, customs and background of our Spanish and Latin American friends and neighbors, To this end we hold monthly meetings at which we discuss the music, art and literature of Spain and Spanish speaking countries. Sharing in the interesting experiences ot our moderator, and supplement- ing her accounts by listening to records we succeed in making the Spanish Club meeting a very important as well as entertaining part of our language course. Each girl in the class has her turn to make a cultural contribution such as a recitation, a book report or a display ot pictures at least once during the term. Our elected president and vice president organize and outline the meetings, a task they do very well. To make a practical contribution to the club, once during the term the girls bring in tood and clothing. These we send to a family in Spain. This, too, brings us closer to our neighbors. Smiles that register good will are radiated. Kneeling: B. Mein- zer, C. Grosso, J. Varvaro, P. J. Moravus, F. Gancio, M. Feur- J. Griffith, P. Devlin, M. O'Donnell. DeFrancis, F. Luciano.
