The French Club was organ- ized early last fall with students in the second, third, and fourth year French classes as mem- bers and with Mlle. Wittmer as adviser. Betsy F inken- staedt, a fourth year French student, was elected presidentp and Sue Anderson, a third year student, was elected secretary. Every Wednesday afternoon the girls gathered in the sen- ior room. Club members had the opportunity of furthering their knowledge of French cul- ture as Well as becoming more proficient in the use and com- prehension of the French lan- guage. Throughout the year, mem- bers Were privileged to hear interesting lectures on the lives, customs, and education of French youth. These lectures served the dual purpose of fa- BETSY FINKENSTAEDT President 56 cilitating understanding of spoken French and of illustrat- ing to students the influence of the war upon the country. Mem- bers also saw colored slides de- picting World famous paintings, buildings, chateaux, and cities of France. In addition to these activities, members of the Alliance Fran- caise invited Downer French Club members to attend their meetings, thus affording stu- dents invaluable practice in language skills through expos- ing them to different accents and speeds of speaking in both lectures and conversational French. The French Club has been a valuable asset to the foreign language department this year, and it is hoped that it will be a permanent part of the French courses at the Seminary.
