Page 80 LATIN CLUB The meetings of the Latin Club have made it evident that Latin is definitely not a dead,' language. Each monthly program is prepared by a different class, headed by a senior. Although these meetings deal directly or indirectly with Latin, they are usually very humorous, with an occasional serious program. Numbering one hundred and twenty-five members, the Latin Club is one of the largest in the school. Its purpose is both to create fellow- ship among the members and to establish greater interest in Latin. During the year the Latin Club has been honored with the presence of a distinguished guest, Miss Esther Hawes, a world traveller. The club is outstanding in musical talent, both instrumental and vocal, so that every program is very enjoyable.

The French Clubs efforts during the year were directed toward aiding French relief work and promoting appreciation of French culture. A French orphan was adopted by Le Cercle Francais in coopera- tion with the Adoption Program sponsored by the American Relief for France. Food and clothes were bought for this child with money raised by the club project. The Club secured correspondents from France for French students. Formerly, correspondents were from Canada. French culture was presented to the club through lectures, movies, discussions, reports, and entertainment provided by the members. The chapter, One Thousand Aves, from the novel, Maria Chapdelainen by Louis Hemon, adapted for a radio play, was presented before the club at the Christmas meeting. FRENCH CLUB Page 81
