Are you acquainted with the proper type of clothing for various occasions? Do you constantly observe the preferred manners? Have you mastered the latest dance steps? The 106 members of the Social Club are learning all these social graces. Other problems which arise In social life are also considered and discussed. Two separate meetings are held weekly, one for those who are learning to dance and the other for those who have already learned to-trip the light fantastic toe . Ordinarily, quality and not quantity is desired by an organization. However, the more the merrier appears to be their slogan, the reason being quite evident. New and worthwhile friendships are formed as the students dance and converse with as many different Individuals as possible. Their most Important activity, a tea dance, was held In the gymnasium. The receiving line consisted of: Ella Mae Smith, president; Kenneth Mains, vice-president; Shirley Dungan; secretary; sponsors, Mrs. McBride and Mr. Gradlsek, and other faculty members. Each member Invited a guest. Refreshments were cakes and punch. To this novel organisation goes the credit for the graaeful dancere at the Junior Prom, April 30. Many students, who were usually spectators at the previous dances, accompanied their current flame to enjoy an evening of dancing to the muslo of their favorite Officers Noon Dance orchestra, Andrew Shirley. 21

IE CERCLE FRRNCRIS Row 3: Geiger, Mies Riggs, Fergaeon Row 2: Robs, Fink Row 1; Ashbaugh, Shirley, Flshell, Fennell Le Cercle Francale Is an organization composed of those students who have successfully completed one year of that language. In addition to discussing French customs and habits at their meetings, the students play French games. The French Club produced a play, L' Anglais Comme Tel On Le Parle , or English as They Speak It , which Is typical of French Drama In that It has many short scenes rather than the customary two or three scenes In American Drama. The scene occurs In a lobby of a Paris hotel. The plot concerns a young couple who have run away from their homes, hoping In this way to win their respective parents' consent to get married. Julien Is a young Frenchman; and Betty Hogson, who speaks French with great difficulty, io the daughter of a big businessman of London. Betty's father, who cannot speak French, comes In search of his daughter. The play Is a series of confusions and misinterpretations, as Eugene, who knows only one word of the English language, pretends to be an Interpreter. The members of the cast were as follows: Betty Hogson, Jean Fink; Mr. Hogson, Robert Bevan; Mr. Julien Clcandel, Kenneth Geiger; Interpreter, John Supanclk; Inspector, Elsie Ross; Le Garcon, James Ferguson; L'Cassiere, Louise Fennell. Officers of the club are: presi- dent, Elsie Ross; vice-president, Kenneth Geiger; secretary, Jean Fink; and treasurer, Robert Bevan. Conversing in French French Play Cast 20
