The slogan is known as the Four C's : Clean living. clean speech. clean athletics. and clean scholarship. The purpose is to create. main- tain. and extend throughout the school and community higher standards of Christian character, At the beginning of each half year new members are chosen. The Hrst se- mester there were nineteen initiated and the second. thirteen. The club reserves the right to select their own members and by that method they keep the club from becoming too large and unwieldy. An annual Father and Son banquet was held at which Representative Al- bert l-lall gave an address. A Faculty and Hi-Y banquet was also given. Mr. Schnell, of the state staff of the Y.lVl.C.A., was the main speaker. The case of Miss Ciladys Neal was continued on this occasion. The culprit was last year charged with using a Latin pony and was this year proven guilty.

More and more persons are studying the language and learning to speak it fluently. Those who would be neighborly must be able to converse with people next door. There is a large call for French- speaking Americans to teach English to the French. If the international ex- change of languages were practiced. might not a stronger bond of friendliness be formed? At least several seekers after French decided to know more about the subject than mere text-book material and in order to do so on Tuesday, No- vember 2. 1926, the members of the French lll, IV and V Classes met and or- ganized Le Cercle Francais. The club was better known to those not in the parlez-vous Classes as the French Club. The purpose of Le Cercle is to create and maintain a higher appreciation of French. in fact. to promote interest in all things French. French problems and customs were the favorite topics of discussion. Interesting reports were giv- en on the government, social life and religion of the French people. ln the way of lighter things, French games. songs and charades were learned. The French National Hymn and many peasant songs were sung. The club met once every six weeks and at each meeting the fiag salute was given in French. The oilicers of the club were as follows: President. Minnie Bourke: Vice- President, Victor Day: Secretary-Treasurer. Jane Rhue. Near the end of the semester Victor Day resigned his ofhce and Clifton Grant was elected to fill his place.
