FRANCO-GERMAN CLUB N February 16, I932, there was held in Balch Hall Aud- itorium, the first meeting of the Franco-German Club, the newest organization of the college. The club was launched at the suggestion of Professor Cailletg its purpose is the promotion of a better understanding and appreciation of the two remarkably great cultures, the French and German. Three students were elected from each language group to plan the programs and to conduct the affairs of the club. Fritzi Mar- tin, Anne Hopkins, Barbara Curran, Ruth Harrison, Margaret Zaroodny, and Veronica Brunner Qwhose place was filled at the end of the first semester by Nina Brownriggj comprised this committee which met with the Enculty advisors, M. Caillet, Miss Klett and Miss Galitzi once a month at luncheon. Fritzi Martin presided at these luncheons and at the club gatherings. The highlight of the First program was a skit written by Anne Hopkins in which Emily Rose Scott, Ruth Stelle, Burton Green and Monsieur Caillet himself participated. Other meetings in- cluded a talk by Miss Klett on the Goethe centenary, and a discussion by Dr. Eames of the opera Faust. The last meeting had vacation as its theme, with the scenes laid on shipboard. Cn the whole, the Franco-German Club has proved a most suc- cessH1l undertaking. Ir has drawn together the language stu- dents of' the campusg Hom sixty to one hundred persons have attended its various meetings, and it has held their interest.

POLITY CLUB HE Polity Club which was established last year has be- come one of the most important organizations in the college. It is composed of upper-classmen interested in Political and social questions, and Dr. Stephenson is its guard- ian angel. It elects its members by vote, since its aim is one in which only a limited number of students would be interested. Other members of the faculty have been chosen as honorary members and dignify the meetings with their Presence. Meni- bership is not snatched away at the moment of graduation. It is permanent, and a number of those who have passed beyond the pale of dormitory life are still as faithhil as the under- graduates. The club is Primarily a discussion group. The meetings are held at the home of Dr. Stephenson and it has been whispered by those who do not rightly understand the higher things of lik that Mrs. Stephenson's reHeshments are the chief' reason for the undying enthusiasm of the members. VOCATIONAL COMMITTEE NE of the early aims of the Student Body was the foun- dation of' a vocational committee which would be a prac- tical aid to Scripps students and graduates. The Voca- tional Committee has been in existence since the third year of the college, but this year its Progress has been dashing. As in former years, the committee has brought to the college people who could advise us about choosing our careers and landing jobs. But we have become ambitious, and now our committee is attempting Cand, we are told, succeedingj to find Positions 34
