1944 Pan American Club The Inter-American Friendship Club, which has been in existence in one form or another since 1931, voted to widen the scope of its usefulness this year by arranging a series of assemblies to which all pupils interested in Latin American culture could be invited. The first of these assemblies took place at the end of January, when we saw Americans All, a film obtained from the oHice of Co-or- dination of Inter-American Affairs, Wash- ington, through the courtesy of the Pan American Society of Boston. Each week since then, one or two Films describing life and customs in South America have been shown, and as the year advances we shall make a trip, in this delightful and easy way, through Mexico and the Caribbean countries. When time permits, Miss Loughran teaches the Spanish words of popular songs, and all join in a new version of South of the Border, A m a p o l a, Yours, and other familiar tunes. The following girls form the committee in charge of the assemblies: Ruth Somerville, Joan Hart, Agnes Johnson, Madeline Bul- lock, Rosemary Whittaker, Jean Beaton, and Harriet Entin. rl23l-
