Swedish Club When all the officers of a club have the same last name, it is. indeed, a coincidence. This year the officers of the Swedish club are all Andersons. The Swedish club was organized in 1929 to interest students in Swedish culture. To be a member of the club one must be taking or have taken this language. The Swedish Club meets the first and third Thursday of each month during the school year. One of the important social events of the year is the annual farewell banquet given for graduating members of the Swedish and the Norse Clubs by the other members of both clubs. The Swedish Club and the Norse Club have long been rivals. Each year they play a basketball game. This year the game was won by the Swedish Club. The Swedish Club also presented a trophy to the track team for winning the City Championship at the cross country meets. Individual members of the team received ribbons and medals. Al Anderson. president of the club, officiated at the ceremony following the race; the first five boys received medals, and the next ten were awarded ribbons. Call it Coincidence. Mr. Erdahl, I.

It was organized on September 23, 1943 in an effort to further an interest in Latin. One would suppose that a club centered around what is usually considered a dry language would have very few members; however, the club is very active. Mmmmm! Food! Jcwton, Dolmar, Hall, Lueck. Moloy.

That the student be interested in Latin and that he or she take it as a subject for at least one term in junior or senior high school are the only requirements. The club meets the first and third Thursdays of each month with Mrs. Gerard as its adviser. Its programs are always interesting. Lantern slides of Roman ruins have been shown, and plays spoken in Spanish have been presented. Extra activities have been a Christmas party and an Ides of March party given on March 15. The club has no emblem or pin; however, it does have a trophy just received this spring. The first person to have his name engraved on the trophy was Larry Lueck. He received this honor because he had shown unusual ability and interest in the study of Latin and was the club’s first president. In addition to Latin. Larry has studied Chinese. French. German, and Greek. C 28 3

Ever since its beginning in the fall of 1941 this club. El Hispano-Americana. has had as its motto Forward, Always Forward (Adelante, Siempre Ade-lante). To be a member of the Spanish Club one must receive in Spanish an average grade of B for the first term and C for every term after that. Twice a year the club presents a medal of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish to the Student who has done the best work in Spanish for a period of two terms. Last fall Robert G.
