Every year since 1929, when the Roosevelt Scandinavian Club divided into the Swedish and the Norse Clubs, a friendly rivalry between the two clubs has existed. Every semester, superiority is temporarily settled in a basketball game, only to be brought up again the next semester. Playing basketball, however, is not the only function of the Norse Club.

Vill you please pass de lutefisk down dis 71 • The scene is the annual banquet given for all graduating members of the Swedish and the Norse Clubs. A member of the Swedish Club has just asked for de lutefisk, please. A Norse Club members yells, Ya, coming right up, as she very gracefully slides the lutefisk bowl down the length of the table. The Norse Club and the Swedish Clubs are very closely related. Both languages are much the same as are the customs of each country. Sweden and Norway were once the same country. Because of this likeness there is friendly rivalry each year when the two clubs have a Swedish-Norse basketball game. Also because of their closeness the annual Swedish-Norse Banquet has grown to be a tradition to which members of both clubs look forward.

You see, the Latin Club is one of the newer clubs here. It was organized in September, 1943, and since then it has become very active as a school organization. The purpose of the club is to understand the different phases of Latin and encourage study of Latin more deeply than can be gone over in the classroom. Each term, new members are admitted to the club at an initiation party. Last December, the club had an enjoyable time at the annual Christmas party, which was held in the school library. Late in April they gave a Roman Banquet. The requirements for joining the Latin Club are that the student be enrolled in the Latin Department and have an active interest in the study of Latin and the classics in general. Those members who average a grade of B or better through two years of this language become members of the National Honor Society, and receive a Certificate of Merit.
