THE MIRROR awqafcmm- 1922 DIE D-EUTSCI-IE. GESELLSCI-IAF T The German Club known as Die Deutsche Gesellschaft has had a varied history. It was founded in 1910 by a much loved teacher of Oakland City College, Miss Addie L. Bishop, at that time head of Modern Languages. After many struggles for existence the Club was again revived by the efforts of Professor H. D. Harmeyer, Instructor in German. Many interesting and instructive programs were given under his administration, and the Club lost a noble and devoted friend when Mr. Harmeyer severed his connection with the college. Professor Harmeyer's mantle fell upon Miss Elsa Mae Tyndall, now head of Modern Languages of G. C. C. Miss Tyndall is piloting the German Craft with much energy and skill, and Die Deutsche Gesellschaft is one of the most popular clubs on the Campus, and its members some of the most optimistic. The purpose of the Club is to revive an interest in the German Languageg to gain an appreciation of the great wealth of German literature, song and legendg to interpret the spirit of German social life and idealsg to develop skill in the practice of reading and speaking. To this end our programs consist of the discussion of German affairs, of German songs, poems and stuntsg of -contests and games for vocabulary' buildingg and the study of German life and customs. The organization welcomes students of German, native born Germans, or others affiliated with the college and interested in the German language. The meetings are held every other Monday evening from 6:30 to 7:30. Open programs and parties are held occasionally. The big event of the year is the christmas party at which German customs prevailg a Tannenbaum is provided, and there is a gift exchange. Kris Kringle at this time honors us with his presence. Another interesting program this year was a Saint Patrick's celebration, where Dutch' men and Irishmen met on a common footing. Our meetings are always well attended, and the happy shouts of jolly Dutchmen attest their enjoyment of this association. Page Seventyfone

Q'-If-IE MIRROR 1929 C-ERIVIANAE SODALES LITERARY SOCIETY The Germanae Sodales Literary Society was reorganized at the beginning of the Fall Term, 1928, with fifteen members, most of whom were new in the society. A great deal of interest was shown and the girls did some very worthwhile work during the term. Regular meetings were held in Miss Campbells room at ll:2O on Thurs- days. The subjects for the program each time were chosen from the general Held of Music, Art and Literature in Indiana. Through these discussions and special reports the girls gained much knowledge of Indiana's progress in these arts and learned to appreciate the value of their native state's efforts to win fame. Next term the society selected as a subject for the term's work, Biography and Research. This work was just as interesting as that of the Fall Term and proved very helpful to those girls who were particularly interested in literature, science, or history. The open meeting for the Wiiitex' Term was held February ZS, 1929 in the Old Chapel. The program was as follows: Percy Grainger .,............................................................... ......... E dith Richardson H. G.

:PHE MI-IS-13-OR --lwmigm-gn - - -I 1-922 IQALLIANCE F RANCAISE L'Alliance Francaise, organized in 1928 by the members of the advanced French classes nder the direction of Miss Mary E. Packer, has won its way on the Oakland City College Campus, and at present is in a flourishing condition under the guidance' of Miss Elsa Mae Tyndall, head of Modern Languages. . The Club was organized for the purpose of promoting a deeper interest in the study of the French language and literature, to study the culture of the gay nationg to learn some of her customs and traditions, and incidentally to add to the social life of the members. One of the features stressed this year was the learning in French of many songs and games. We believe in this way we shall attain a more intimate knowledge of the nature and personality of our lively sisterfnation across the sea, and our members have entered heartily into this program. Interesting facts in French life and history are given in answer to rollfcallg and our programs consist of short topics on French subjects, poems, jokes, contests, eharades, games and songs. A main objective is the building up of the speaking vocabulary of the student. Our Club at present consists of some thirty members. Our motto is Pas de leur on Cas nous , the colors are the French tri-color, blue, white and red, the club flower is the Marguerite, or daisy. Two cheer leaders were elected early in the year, a number of yells were pre- pared and learnedg and one of our aims is to make L'Alliancc Francaise the peppiest Club on the Campus. The big event of the year was the Valentine Party which was celebrated along French lines. Other parties and picnics including initiations have been interesting and enjoyable. A public entertainment during the year, and several playlets in regular club meetings were very much enjoyed. Page Seventyftwo
