Los Leones Espanolesv As the second year of the Los Leones Espanoles Club is drawing to a close, the members are satisfied that they have had a much more successful year than the firstpone. The club has been ably guided by the following ofhcers: President, flj Edna Otto, QZJ Lawrence Hahng vice-president, 1123 and LZQ Clarence Prior: secretary, fly Jessie Goebel, QZQ Vivian Coffeyg treasurer. Clj Lawrence Hahn, f2j Edna Ottog student council representatives, Qlj Arnold Grandt. QZJ Edith Mayer. Cf the various activities of the club, perhaps the most noteworthy was the help given to the art department in producing the Puppet Show in November. On January ll, the members held a banquet at the Detroit Spanish Club, where the atmosphere is typically Spanish. Before the ban- quet members of the Los Leones entertained with Spanish songs and dances. The banquet was reported in the G'Don Quijotef' a paper edited by the Detroit Spanish Club, complimenting them on their work and also that of their capable faculty advisers, Miss Hart and Miss Vyn. Los Leones has at various times had the pleasure of hearing well-edu- cated Spaniards, The members are interested in Spanish songs and dances and also in short plays given at the meetings, many of which are written by the members. A rather unusual and interesting proceeding has been taking place. 4'Los Castillasf' the Spanish club at Eastern High School, has been sending delegates to Los Leones' meetings and Northwesterns club has been send- ing representatives to Eastern. to exchange ideas. These two organizations joined in a party recently at the home of Elizabeth Paull. ' hlADIiI.lNI5 Pllrr..-xx. 103

The French Club, since its organization two years ago, has proved itself more and more useful to the French department. Organized to promote an easy conversational effect while speaking this foreign tongue, as well as to give enjoyment to the laboring student. it has fully succeeded in its purpose. At its meetings, which occur once every two weeks, discussions on art, politics. prominent persons in France, and well-known books are set forth. Dialogues. poems, and even short plays which develop the dramatic sense and furnish amusement for the club are enacted. Talent is founded and displayed by original short stories and poems which, given on the programs, are received with interest and applause by fellow students. But that upon which the fascination and attention of the season are centered is the parties. The most interesting party of the year was staged in room 150 on the last day before Christmas vacation. Presents were received, songs sung, and musical talent enjoyed along with candy and other sweets. Everyone had a wonderful time and returned home waiting expectantly for the next affair. The club owes much of its progress and enjoyment to the wise and capable guidance of Miss Muriel Netzorg, its faculty adviser, During the first semester the oliicers were: President, Ruth Damon: vice-president, Lucile Hollinger: secretary, Helen Guilliland. The ofiicials during the second term were: President. Ruth Damon: vice-president. lYillis Destrowg secretary, XVinifred Hudson. LUc1L1.E HoLL1Noi2R. 102 y

It consists of various members of the different German classes, all taking German being eligible. The members feel exceedingly proud in having chosen the name of the famous German poet for their club, Q .Xt each meeting the business of the club is brought up and followed by a prograni in which only the best German literature is used. Monthly pro- grams are held in the classrooms, the business being' carried on in German. Roll call is answered with German quotations and proverbs, and there is always a varied prograin in which every member participates. At these. poems, biographies, talks. playlets, anecdotes, and songs are given. Criticisms are also given in German. There are two open programs a year, at Christ- mas and in the spring, where both pleasure and literary activities are coni- bined. .Xt a later date, they are planning to have picture slides. The Schiller members presented a large donation tu the fund for the starving German children.
