French Club For all Mercyhurst mademoiselles, French has been transformed from mere memorization exer- cises to a living language. Directly responsible for this progressive step is the dynamic Miss Vivetta Petronio, moderator of the French Club, who has encouraged fluency in speaking the language through the conducting of meetings in French. In addition, Miss Petronio has stimulated interest in French cultural and political affairs, thus en- riching the students' knowledge of the language, the country, and its people. FIRST ROW: L.
