The members raise funds for the club by selling candy at the home bas- ketball games and by holding cake sales. The money obtained from these various sources enables the members to visit New York City to view an Italian motion picture. Meetings of the club this year took place every second Wednesday of the month with President Ralph Pelaia presiding. Various top- ics were discussed and occasionally the club had a guest to talk to the members. This club encourages students of the Italian language to become more familiar with the ways and language of this great and ancient nation.
