SPANISH CLUB Pinatas, Fiestas, and Cas- tinettes have always been a part of the Spanish atmosphere. Under the competent leader- ship of Miss Florence Wunder- lich, these and many other customs and influences. of Spain and the Latin American countries are brought to the Thornton Junior College Span- ish Club. These countries and customs are brought alive by means of lectures and by slides taken by Miss Wunderlich on her ex- tended tour of these countries. The members add to the Spanish Club atmosphere by conversing in Spanish at meet- ings which are under the direc- tion of the students and officers. For further activities, the club joins with the other language clubs in the college in an all- language-club Christmas party and a Spring Outing.

2 2 sa ot 2 Sm DEUTSCHE VEREIN In addition to studying German in the classroom, interludes of informal learning were important in learning the German language. For this extra help to make learning easier and more fun, ‘Der Deutsche Verein’’ was organized in the fall of 1931. At meetings, German songs were sung, games were played, skits were pre- sented, films on Germany were shown, and tasty refreshments were served. Holidays were celebrated in the manner in which they are observed in Germany. “Der Deutsche Verein,” together with the other language clubs, presented the annual Language Club Christ- mas Party and a picnic in the spring. The sponsor of the club, Mr. Arnold Koester, held membership open to any Junior College student who was a past, present, or future student of German.

Lambda Epsilon, the scholastic honor society of Thorton Junior Col- lege, has brought credit to its members since its organization in 1938 by Dr. Minna Jewell. Through the years its constant purpose has been to encourage scholarship by recognizing students of high achievement. Lambda Epsilon had a traditional banquet in the spring, at which former students enjoyed a reunion and new members were initiated. The Women’s Athletic Association afforded an opportunity to all women of Thornton Junior College to participate in a variety of sports. Some of the activities of WAA were Swims, and co-sponsoring such events as Gym Jams and dances. The choice of sports offered was left up to a vote of the members. They were then arranged into eight-week seasons. Volleyball, . tennis, and swimming were typical of the sports chosen. The big event of the year was the week-end house party held in the spring at the Indiana State Dunes at which the women enjoyed outdoor sports.
