Fred Hinkhouse The International Relations Club was organized and held its first meeting in january, 1935. It offers to students an opportunity to discuss international alfairs and their relation to campus life. The group has a fine library of 25 volumes furnished by the Carnegie Foundation. This club is of especial interest to students of past and modern history. FRENCH CLUB Parsons College now has a flourishing Cercle Francais which furnishes an op- portunity for students of French to practice speaking the language. They presented a French play for the benefit of the German Club, and any others interested in the study of French. The French Club is in its first year, having been organized by Mrs. Simmons in the fall of 1934. GERMAN CLUB The German Club was organized at the same time as the French Club by Dr. William Schreiber The German Club presented a play in German telling the Christmas story and then the college students were taught some German hymns. The club is a fine way for the students to get practice in speaking the language and to learn some of the customs of the German people.
