Thoenen Secretary: Sean Sweeney Adviser: R. H. Bates I Discussion this year in the Lantern Club has been limited to poetry and the novel. This has been the result of a greater inter- est in these subjects by the members of the club. The club has been less active this year than last and there have been fewer out- side speakers. The years activity started with a talk by Mr. Stevens on the Metal physical Poets. The following week lvlr. Stookey led an informal discussion on journ- alism. Mr. Bernard DeVoto, the noted critic, spoke to the club on the Twentieth Century Novel and Mr. deLancey of the French Department outlined the develop- ment of the French Novel. Later in the year Mr, Curwen read some poetry and dis- cussed the life of A. E. Housrnan. Although there have been fewer speakers this year the interest of the group in literature has been far above the normal level. lll8l

WORLD FEDERALISTS President: Andrew P. Schouvaloff Vice-President: Burton P. McHugh Secretary: Vernon K. Dibble Adviser: Mr. jones During the last few years the World Federalists have been slowly declining in popularity at Exeter. Attendance has drop- ped by more than half since the organiza- tion was formed, and until this year the only time that all the members were present was at the picture, when Gunningham's became clogged with hordes of future diplo- mats. But this year an all-out effort was made to promote interest in the Federalists. Movies were shown at several meetings, and several interesting lectures were given during the fall and winter terms. President Andy Schouvaloff was sent by the P.E.A. WORLD FEDERALISTS Chapter to the World Government Confer- ence, where he apparently suffered a ner- vous breakdown, for soon afterwards he announced his intention to resign. But the other members, content with the Schouva- loff rule, and perhaps somewhat lethargic, formed a coalition against him and he was forced to continue in office. Apparently his popularity among the members was greater than he thought. But Schouvaloff's discontent threw the group into separate parties, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the dull booms of the atom bombs they are hurling at each other, They're making an awful mess in the Academy Building. lVlr. lones left the club in the winter term to go on his sabattical, and he has been reported strolling the Rue Pigalle and visiting several Parisian Bistros, picking up local color and studying the diplomatic crises in Europe. First Row: Pytte, Goodwin, 1, Thomas, V. Dibble, Schouvaloff, Mcl-lugh, Francis, Tenca, Rockford. Second Row: Mr. jones, Schuman, Gustafson, j. Garfield, McVay, G Dibble, Ware, Westberg, I.

Thomas and Meras opened one of the most successful years in Les Cabo- tins' history with a hilarious skit on Modern Art. This was followed by a lecture on Corsica by Mr. Barrett and two French movies. The season ended with a faculty skit, Little jules Comes to Exeter , with Mr. Meras. There followed a song and dance act by the Four Dumb Waiters . In the winter term Les Cabotins spon- sored an address by M. Henri Peyre, Sterl- ing Professor of French at Yale. A dance with Bradford junior College and a mock French class made up the lighter side of the Club's winter activities. The term ended on a dramatic note with a play by Mr. Thomas called Coupable? , given before a capacity crowd in the Little Theater. ps N. Fun for the Kiddies LES CABOTINS First Row: Roop, H.
