The outstanding goal of La Marianne is to develop in the students an interest in the social life, educa- tional system, and culture of the French. This is achieved through a variety of entertaining and in- formative programs presented at the monthly meetings. ln addition to these meetings the French Club annually holds a Christmas party in December and a picnic at the end of the year.
