Swedish This is the 29th year of the Swedish Club at Roosevelt. The members of this organization, headed by Mr. Benson, must have taken Swedish at some time during their three years in Roosevelt. This year, as in past years, the club had a skating party and met afterwards at the president's home for refreshments. Since Mr. Benson's return from Sweden, the club has taken a greater interest in the Club culture of the country. And, as a result, he hopes that this year he might make it possible for some Swedish student to study for a few months in Sweden as one student did last year. In April the club visited the American-Swedish Institute. There they saw many old paintings and antiques. After the tour, they had a smorgasbord in the basement of the building.
