This year, we advanced French linguists, both Iuniors and Seniors, decided, with the helpful suggestion of our French professeur, Sister Maris Stella, to organ- ize a French Club. At the initial meeting, leaders were selected: Mademoiselle Carol Schaab, le president, Mademoiselle Mary Rackl, le vice-presidentg Mademoiselle Mary Wangler, le secretaireg Mademoiselles Eva Miskey et Dolores Zehler, les treasurers. A monthly meeting was proposed at which entertainment was to be supplied by appointed members. Two important projects were undertaken: packing of Red Cross boxes and corresponding with girls of our own age in France. In May, the Sophomores were introduced to the intricacies of our French organization, as an inspiration for them to carry on next year and make of themselves full-Hedged students of the language. To further enhance our meetings, Sister Maris Stella showed us The Wings of Francef' an extremely interesting movie. That was in April. During the same month, we exercised our knowledge of this Romance tongue by participation in a National French Contest. Hence, our Third Year French Course serenely and happily passed, n'est-ce-pas? i59l
