Le Cercle Francais For many years the French Unit has enjoyed a great popularity, It claims the distinction of having a very high attendance at its regular meet' ings. During the year the club arranged a wide variety of interesting programs, which included dramatization of French plays, reviews of French authors, histories. and poems. Alnumber of songs have been composed by Miss Patterson and have been sung in French at each meeting. It will be some time before the members will forget the theme song, 'iReunissonsA', sung to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. Another feature of the club is the highly educational correspondence carried on with stu' dents in France and Belgium. The letters which have been exchanged have been humorous and pathetic as well as instructive. The spirit of the club is kept up, moreover, by the invaluable information and suggestions offered by the two co-sponsors, Miss Patterson and Miss Mathison. Officers CofPresidents ...,,. .. .,,,.
