LATIN CLUB A Latin Club has made its debut this year, an enthusiastic undertak- ing of the Cicero Class. The first project was a news broadcast by Johannes Cameronius Swazius given in costume to the student body. Pertinent news items were discussed, and a fashion show was picked upn from the Coliseum, and a scene from the Senate with Cicero involved in the First Cati- linarian Oration was portrayed. Another project worked on was a paper in English and Latin to aid the students in an undertaking of Roman background and its value. Members of the Latin Club look thoughtful as Helen Ike, President jbr the second term, asks for ideas concerning the Latin newspaper. Unique in that it has as many officers as members, the Latin Club includes Johanne Peroni, Eileen Middelstaedt, Helen Ike, Margaret Phillipps, Elfriede Roth and Patricia Dolcey. Mary White, Vz'ce-Presz'dent,' Carol Goepfert, President, and Rose Frankenberg, Secretagug try to answer the question posed by member Joan Small. FUTURE SECRETARIES OF AMERICA Commercial students have united to form the F.S.A., an organiza- tion designed to further them in their determination to make expert secretaries of themselves. Meetings were held under the guidance of Sister Vitalina Marie and aimed at the character devel- opment of the future business women together with the uncov- ering of new facts about the secretarial world. Two business managers did research into vari- ous phases upon which the mem- bers reported and held discussions. Various projects were also gotten underway for the Building Fund.

Chairmanjohanne Peroni and Co-chairman Mona Cremin arouse the amusement of their chums as they explain the Victorian ideal of Courlshzf .9 CATHCLIC PRESS MCNTH Various activities served to deepen the awareness of necessity of wholesome and holy reading. Seniors explored the realms of Catholic thought and reported their gleanings to their class- mates. They thus became ac- quainted with various current periodicals, books, minds and ideas on the Christian theme. Sophomores sponsored a rather obstruse poetry contest to tease the intellects of their friends. All classes made frequent trips to the library where Sister Juliana and Sister Vitalina Marie and their helpers had arranged an attrac- tive and inspiring book display. LITERARY CLUB The Literary Club made its reap- pearance this year, limited to Seniors only. Lively and informa- tive discussions have been held. The members feel that the aim of the club, to cultivate an appre- ciation and understanding of the masterpieces and masterminds of literature, has been realized. The club's activities include a survey of the Victorian Era, analysis of modern literature, and the dramatization of comic sketches. Barbara Jones, Julie Cavinato, and Rose Frankenberg peruse some of the new books displayed in the library during Catholic Press Month.
