The Greek Club In the fall of 1925 the Greek Club reorganized with members from a new Greek class which has been formed. They chose as their oflicers for tllff fall semester Dorothy Griflith, presidentg Eleanor Cooke, vice-presidentl and Frances Jennings, secretary-treasurer. Throughout the year the mem- bers of Kziloi Kai Agzithoi enjoyed programs consisting of selections, in English transalation, from Lucian, Herodotus, Euripides, Thueydides, Hesiod, and many others. :Xt Christmas 3 lighter program was given, composed of an amusing original play which was Il parody on the three Greek drzimatists, Euripides. Sophocles. and Aristophanes. The oilicers chosen for the second semester were: Helen Henson, presi- dent: Eleanor Cooke. vice-president: and Frances Jennings. secretary- treasurer. Early in 'lime Kaloi Kai Agzitlioi, chziperoned by Miss lioehm and Miss Berkaw, its faculty advisers. made an expedition tu ,Xnn .Xrbor for a brief introduction to college life. lYhile in Ann Arbor they had the good fortune to meet Professor Bonner. who exhibited to them some interesting manuscripts in the original :ind also some archeologicril remains which are preserved there, These are kept under lock and key most of the time. so Kaloi Kai .-Xgathoi was proud to be allowed the privilege of seeing them. They explored Ann .lkrboris wonderful library and gained a goofl knowledge of the campus. The Kaloi Kai Agzitlioi feels that it has thus far sustained its purpose. which is to give to each member a knowledge uf Greek literature in English translation. and to further interest in the classics.

All the ideas, however, centered around one big aim. That was to encourage students to continue Latin for four years. ln carrying out that idea the club has been responsible for the delightful lecture given by Professor D'Ooge of the University of Michigan. He had many objects of interest to show the audience and gave the students inter- esting verbal pictures of Italy. Posters have been made to create a larger interest in Latin. A bulletin board now holds a permanent place in room 127, on which there are posted articles and illustrations which demonstrate the use of Latin in the business world of today. Interesting programs have been given and mythical stories told at the meetings, all of which deal with Latin and the Roman ideas and customs. Through these meetings a close relationship between the members and fac- ulty advisers has been formed. The officers who have guided this ambitious club during the fall term were: First consul, Chandler Collingeg second consul, Clemence Yan De Sande: scriba, ,lean Ernst: pontifex maximus, Margaret lYilson. The offi- cers,who led the club during the spring term were: First consul, Suzanne Marting: second consul, 'lean llegwoodg scribe and pontifcx maximus, -lean Ernst. The teachers who have stood by and aided the club in all its work were Miss Cooper and Miss Sheehan, The members feel that all their eiforts have not been unfruitful and know that they have gained much knowledge by the organization.

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
