LATIN CL This year the Latin Clubhad more members than it has had for a long time. The club met once a month during homeroom. At these meetings a different phase in the life of a Roman boy was discussed. Beginning with the birth and naming of a Roman boy, the story finally ended with the burial of the Roman man. The b i g event of the year was the Roman Banquet, which proved to be very grand. We all dined whzile reclining in true Roman manner. EL ELUB EEFHNUL SPANISH CLUB This year ihe Spanish Club, under the direc- tion of MaryAnnKrueger, presidentg Pat Ory,sec- retary-treasurerg and Miss Brown, sponsor, participated in numerous school activities. In the homecoming parade our club was represented by a brightly decorated Fordecito. In the 'winter we had an informal dinner with Mexican food and decor- ations. The winners of the Spanish games were awarded Mexican - made baskets. Pan American Day, an important date for our club, was celebrated at an assembly program. The Spanish Comida , a gala affair , climaxed the club activities for the year.

CHORUS The chorus has been very fortunate in having Mr. Weldy as its director this year,his first in Naperville. Nevertheless, he has presented the group in concert on no less than five different occasions. At the High School Christmas program the Chorus furnished the musical setting for the tableau. It appeared before a large audience at the Naperville Youth Congress in Feb- ruary. The same month it sang before the junior and seniorhlgh school moth- ers. It presented anassembly program in Marchand concluded the year in May with its annual appearance at the High School Baccalaureate. The Chorus also journeyed to Elgin to sing in the annual Fox Valley Music Festival in the spring. ORCHESTRA Under the able direction of Mr. Robert McCabe, our orchestra has grovm from a mere handful of strings to an active organization whose instrumenta- tion is constantly increasing. So far this year, our public appearances have been limited to playing for the Christmas takileau, but our plans include assembly programs, in both high school and grade schools, and we may participate in the Commencement week doings .
