v, A feeling of good fellowship permeates the atmosphere of the monthly meetings of the Italian Club. The programs, prepared by a student committee, provide good material for discussion and enter- tainment at each meeting. The most memorable program of the year was presented at the Christmas meeting, and was highlighted with special holiday features. Christmas folk stories, provincial songs, refreshments, and exchange of presents marked the day. Bright spots of the club's activities included a trip to Garret Mountain in May and an excursion to New York, where the members attended an Italian movie and a dinner at Caruso's restaurant.

It has been the aim of the Spanish Club this year to promote among its members a feeling of closer relationship with the nations of Latin America. The members feel that only if the people of this hemisphere understand each other can there be any hope of true friendship. The Club has attempted to further this understanding through the media of songs, games, plays, and Spanish atmosphere. Various themes have been music of Latin Americag games with a Spanish twistg and the life and works of Gabriela Mistral, the only South American woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature. The Spanish Club feels that it has been successful in its effort to create a better understanding of our southern neighbors. SPANISH CLUB l l Page 83
