Club Named Coffee l-louse Appropriately called The Coffee House, signifying emphasis usually placed on prose and poetry readings in espresso houses, the English Club was established to stimulate interest in literature and language. The Coffee House furnishes a meet- ing place, once a month, where stu- dents may come to discuss art, litera- ture, drama, and poetry. Supervising club activities were Mrs, Bettye Mid- dleton and William Knox, sponsors. Fulfilling its purpose, the club spon- sored several guest speakers during the year's activities. Among speakers who appeared were Dr. John W. Smith of TCU, who spoke on The Novel as a Reflection of Social Mores, and lohn Whitten, well-known for his dra- matic readings. Dinner at the Old South Pancake House, followed by the club's attend- ance at the TCU production of SEP- ARATE TABLES at Scott Theatre cli- maxed the activities for this year. Sponsors and members are already making plans for future speakers. writing seminars, and social activities.

Divided into two categories, the Choir and the Singers, students have a choice in the type of music they sing. Classical and con- temporary selections constitute the maior work of the Choir, while the Singers lean more toward the popular vain. Both groups have performed for various conventions and civic groups. Making their debut last November at Morningside Junior High School, the troupe with Director Leonard McCormick went on to perform at the convention of the Southern Association of lunior College Administrations in Dallas. The years events culminated in the Spring Concert held in the theatre.

like lei, E we 3 'Societe' lnspires Study of French Viva la France! Viva La Societe Francaise! Or as TCJC students of French would be more apt to say, Long live the French Club. La Societe, of course is the club which enjoys life as the French do, for at least one class Z period a day, anyway. Designed to offer social and recreational activities in keeping with the French language which students are studying, the club is spon- sored by French instructor Mrs. Martha Holmes. One need not be a French student to join the club, however, as the club con- stitution states anyone may be a member who is interested in the French language. Movies in French dialogue and a genuine French dinner were among club projects. ln addition, there were visits by French speak- ers, including one who spoke on Christmas and its customs in his native France. Elected club officers were Johnnie Stotts, president, Mrs. Lois Boss, first vice-presi- dent, Liz DeLauro, secretary, and Barbara Horn, treasurer.
