Warren Bracken There are several language clubs in our high school, but the one that has been functioning for the longest time is the French Club. The club was formed with the ainlq of propagating more widespread knowledge concerning France and all things arenc . Meetings were held monthly, and at these meetings programs were prepared and presented. Here programs proved worthwhile and kept the students interested in the affairs ofthe club, The club was also active socially. At Christmas, it held a Christmas Party for the members of the club. Refreshments were served and gifts were exchanged. Some of the members had prepared a small sketch and other individual acts which they performed for the amusement of the rest. The affair was lively and enjoyed immensely by the people who attended. Before the activities of the year were over, the club voted whether they should have the members purchase French Club pins. The club voted in favor of the proposition and most of the members soon received their pins. 221464 gud Pre.videntgWarren Turner Via' Prexzdenl-lrving Brourman Srrrvlaruv ,,,l.ill1an jones 'I rru.ri1rr'r,, Nessie Hicllch 9755 ROXIAN 'A' .55

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.

One person xx as selected from each room to take care of the sales of all things such as Roxians, Rox Rockets, dance tickets, and all other tickets to the various functions of the school. These salesmen, each with one assistant salesman to help him, were selected by Mr. j. Kiselicia, the supervisor of the business staff. with the aid of the home room teach- ers. They were chosen for their efficiency and their ability to do such work. This system worked successfully this past year and will be continued in the future. qfee due This year the girls glee Club was revived after a two years' absence. A group of interested girls came to Miss l-laser voluntarily and asked her if she wouldn t organize a girls' chorus. She did and the results were very pleasing. The club has about 40 members and Miss l-laser claims that these 40 members are the most eager. most willing, most promising students. ln October they visited the Stephen Foster Memorial and the University of Pittsburgh. The majority of these girls were in the operetta. The Spanish Gran- deef They also took part in the chapel program at Christmas time at the end of the year.
