The future looked bright for these eager French students, and various activities were planned. To start the year off right, the club, after electing its otiicers, undertook to sponsor the adoption of a French child, and several projects were planned to raise the funds needed. One cool autumn evening many busy bees could be seen preparing the gym for an informal dance sponsored by the French Club. Decorations according to French customs prevailed. and the dance was a big success. Behan, Marjorie Bethel, Anne Brennan, Mary Bucci, James Clear, james Comeau.
