Fregerlat By LUCY BOBBS Wirli an ever-increasing enrollment in foreign languages. the language department, in 1933, de- cided to organize a club to broaden the interests of its members and to study not only the prosaic words and occupations of the people of France, Germany, and Old Rome, but their literature, music, art, and science. Since there are three factions of Fregerlat, the French language, German, and Latin, and all are not familiar to every member, the club itself is divided into three sections. A chairman for each section is elected, and after the regular meeting and program of the club. the setions go to their respective corners to hold the sectional meetings. Ed Rosenthal was president: Margaret Sparling, vice-president, Marie Wurtenberger, secretary: and Betty Stewart. treasurer. The Latin section chose Norma Rae Woolever as chairman. with Betty Barth and Ruth Anna Harrod as secretary and treasurer. respectively. ln the German group, Dorothea Koehlinger acted as chairmang Ellen Carney and June Smoclc assisted her. Faye Shiffer led the French congregation. Along with Faye were Mary Anne Fishering and Helen Olofson. Notable among Freger1at's parties is its annual Christmas affair. Those hrst members who planned the club's initial Christmas party in 1933 set a precedent which has continued. Christmas songs of the three countries and information about the celebrating of the holiday are given with equal enthusiasm. Then-the refreshments-Fregerlat serves distinctive refreshments, and that's not stretching any point. France is represented by her bonbons fyou call it candyj. The Roman Empire is brought into the limelight with plenty of mala for everyone fapplesj, but the weihnachtslcuchen of Germany,-what is there left to say? Fregerlat programs have wide possibilities, which are taken advantage of by those who plan the programs. Miss Anna Reid, a charming lady who has spent ten years in France, told in an informal way of her experience, of the beauties of the country, and of the people in general. Miss Reid is only one of the many outside speakers obtained for the pleasure of the Fregerlat mem- bers. Miss Bowen had complete charge of one of the c1ub's most professional programs, that of the Latin Pageant written and directed by her. Over forty Latin students took part in it. Margaret Johnston and Jim Mullendore had the leading parts, those of the girl and the boy who imagined they saw the huge array of costumed Romans really parading in the held of their sight. June Smoclc and Faye Shiffer told the legend of Ham- lin Town and the translation of Adieu Pere Fouet- tard, respectively, at the 1934 Christmas party. In March and April of 1935, Leo Stillpass. Beatrice Andrews, Alice Wilderiiiuth. LaVonne Waggener, and Betty Barth assisted with the club,s programs. The Fregerlat Club is an active, alert organiza- tion, having cleverly arranged programs and snap- py entertaining, social affairs. 106
