THE SAMADRA CLUB Anyone who is interested in dramatics and current theatrical news is permitted to join the Samadra Club.

HOME ECONOMICS CLUB For those interested in cooking, sewing, or any subject pertaining to Home Economics, membership is open. The Home Economics Club which meets bi-monthly in the Home Ec. Cottage sponsors several tea houses and a Silver Tea during the year. All of these are held in the Cottage, which makes a very appropriate setting. During the summer the members will no doubt have an opportunity to use their experience gained by their membership in the Club. ENTRE NOUS For the French students and anyone who is interested in the French language, the Seminary provides a French Club. The purpose is to promote a better understanding of the French people, their language, and their customs. The Club provides recreation and social contacts among the girls while providing practice in the French lan- guage. This year the French Club is proud to report that they sent a sum of money to CARE to provide two boxes of food for needy French families. F. B. L. A. The Commercial Club was organized to give the busi- ness students the opportunity to meet informally and to discuss various phases of business life. The Commercial Club has been a campus leader this year and has carried out several projects that proved to be highly interesting to its members. The most eventful day of the year to the Commercialists was Commercial Day. April 15. The purpose of Commercial Day was to acquaint in a brief way the student body with the Busi- ness Department and to promote an interest in the F. B. L. A. (Future Business Leaders of America). The Club also edited a paper. The Commercialist, which was distributed on Commercial Day. THE SIGNAL NEWS The Signal News, which is edited and published by members of the Journalism class and the Business De- partment, is a monthly publication. It offers an oppor- tunity for interested students to get practical experience in writing news, and it affords the business students with the actual experience of producing a mimeographed paper. The picture of the staff appears in this issue.
