THE LATIN CLUB C'rescat scienlia-Let knowledge increasefl Jllagixter fPresidentl Adele C. Frank Scriptor CSecretaryJ Rosalie Cohen Quaestor CTreasurerD Beverly Richards Scriba fPress Agentj Mildred Weinstein President Martha Metter Secretary Evelyn Birnbaum Treasurer Hope lVeisentaner The Latin Club, or the Viatrices QTrave-lersl as it is more commonly known to its members, is a newly organized group. As our surname suggest, we are Travelers led by our interesting guide and sponsor, Miss Bishop, who recalls her own thrilling experiences and takes our minds through distant lands. As we visit modern Rome, Greece, Sicily, and other places ol' interest, we realize more fully that Latin, sometimes called a dead language, is very much alive, and that those remote lands were inhabited over two thousand years ago by people very much like us. How alluring are these ancient countries, and how fascinating to the willing minds of an attentive audience! We are also given glimpses of the artistic poems of Virgil. As Miss Bishop reads to us, We are held by the poetic beauty of these descriptive works. It is indeed with a great deal of anticipation and pleasure that we look forward to the near future when we shall become fully acquainted with the tales to which we are now being introduced. Our membership is restricted this year to third-year Latin students, but while every one ui' our twenty odd fellow Travelers bears with her an ardent zeal for Latin and the beckonings of ancient lands, it is indeed evident that club spirit is present. Our meetings are held in Miss Bishop's friendly room, which seems to lose its classroom appearance, and take on the form of a cozy meeting-place for mutu- ally interested Latin-students, desirous of taking in every word that drops from the lips of our dear sponsor. Adele C. Frank, '38 Mildred Weinstein, '38 CHESS CLUB Do you know that our school boasts a club dedicated solely to the ancient, aristocratic game of chess? Under the able guidance of Miss Forrest and Miss Reardon, we have spent many hours playing this game, which, we feel, is both interesting and beneficial. During the season we have held tournaments in which our players showed their skill and competitive spirit. This years' officers were: President Helen Roche Secreiary Sara Kantrovitz Treasurer Norma Rosenfield For the future, we plan to have speakers give us more information about this, our favorite game. We look forward with glnd anticipation to our annual picnic, with which we shall end the school year. 60
