Athcna Milchtll, Martha Nichpli Two years ago, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth O'Donnell, a group of interested Latin students formulated the idea of organizing a Latin club for the purpose of making the student better acquainted with Rome and Roman life and history. Meetings were held every two weeks and at these meetings programs were ar- ranged, Oral reports were given concerning Roman topics. As the club was in need of money to continue its activities the .ised funds by selling candy at the bas- ketball games. The club was active u year, and the year was very successful both financially and intellectually. A week before the closing of the high school for vacation, the Latin Club held a picnic for the members ofthe organization. The picnic was a great success and was very much enjoyed by all. The club disbanded for the summer and it will be organized again wich the opening of the next school term. fain dug l'ru.titlvril,Virginia lvladdalon Vi t'Lf Prvsulunl Dorothy Braidic Sei-remrv, julia l.uvandox'icl1 ll-I'KL1SllVL'!'-.-RUlll VVillig l 52

These students organized the Circulo Castellano at the be- ginning ol' the term and launched a program of absolute Spanish derivation. At the meetings to transact the club business, the members spoke the Castillian tongue. Spanish musical instruments were obtained and placed on display for the benefit ol the club, Debate teams were organized to debate questions con- cerning the Spanish crisis. M ss Artuso, the inspiring adviser ol' the club, started a correspondence with Spanish students in Latin America, ln these exchanges oi' letters, many members received pictures and magazines from Mexico and South America. Miss lithel Garroway of the Mary Cowley School in Pittsburgh pre- sented an interesting talk on her travels through Mexico to the members of the club and their guests in the school auditorium. A Spanish newspaper under the supervision ol ,joseph Cunningham was also edited.
