 mg«MTOfljingai Le Club Francais Le Club Francais was organized at the instigation of Madamoiselle Dorothy Fifer, at the beginning of the fall semester of 1930. Anyone studying French is eligible to membership. Madamiselle Mary Silver and Madamoiselle Katherine Kirby, our able presidents, have led us successfully through the two semesters. French, as a subject, has not been available to students for the past nine years, and its popularity proves its addition t0 our curriculum well warranted. One of our social activities, Une Fete Francaise, was held in November, 1930. Members came dressed in French costumes and conversed in French language. They were served an eight course French dinner prepared by Mrs. B. C. Epperson, and served by ' Gaston, Miss Lucille Kirby. Place cards and menus were designed by Katherine Kirby. A committee composed of Madeleine Leonard, Virginia Epperson, Merlin Hill, Royal Young and Raymond Flood planned the program on entertainment, for the dinner and the informal dancing afterward. Officers for the first semester w. rc: Mary Silver, president; Eldred Bates. Vice-president, Chester Mower, secretary-treasurer.
