Reva Tucker Le Cercle Francais was organized in 1929 with Madame Gertrude Sater- Poulsen as its enthusiastic sponsor. From a small membership, composed entirely of French majors, it has developed rapidly into a large and ac tive organization. Anyone registered in a French course or interested in French is eligible for membership. The purposes of Le Cercle Francais are to provide for its members an opportunity to speak the French language and to study French culture and customs. At bi-monthly meetings held by the club, French programs are presented, French games played and folk songs sung so that the students may obtain somewhat of a first hand knowledge of France and the French.
