One of the reasons the club has been able to realize all its plans is l l its small membership, selected from those students actively interested Tif f? in Spain, Spanish customs, and the Spanish language. The programs of the club are arranged accordingly. In Mr. Martel, the faculty advisor, the members have a very interesting speaker and advisor who is thoroughly acquainted with all forms of Spanish life and culture. He often addresses the club on topics of interest to young Spanish enthusiasts, and the fact that all the speaking is done in Spanish is both instructive and enter- taining. In addition, talks and discussions are often presented by members, thus offering an opportunity to both hear and speak Spanish. This term's officers are: ' 4 Preridem' ....................... ............. B AZIL LICHTENBERG Vice-Prafidefzz , ............. ..............

ENGLISH LITERARY SOCIETY ROM the position of comparative obscurity which it has held in Harris clubdom ever since its organization three terms ago, the English Lit- erary Society has steadily acquired the reputation of being one of the foremost societies in the school. Foremost in large membership, foremost in organization, fore- most in originality of programs, it has gained considerable recognition among the students. Yet, with its long roll, those who wish to become members are obliged to pass more rigid requirements than are necessary in any other club. Well-known, also, in Harris non-athletic activities is the journalism Course, which was initiated under the auspices of the English Literary Society, and by which it is still controlled. The meetings of this organization are pre- sided over by the editors of the Stadiumi' and i'Crimson and Goldf' who dis- pense valuable journalistic knowledge to those present. Its gatherings are ex- tremely important in Harris journalism, inasmuch as members of the various school and club papers are required to attend. The programs of the English Literary Society itself surpass all others in interest as Well as originality. Reviews of modern books are given, volun- tarily, by various members, discussions are held on the styles of famous authors and poets, instructors, both from this institution and also from the college, address the society on events of literary interest, and lastly, many sincere at- tempts are made to bring out any literary talent which the members may pos- sess. A Short Story and Play Contest which excited a great deal of interest in the student body was also sponsored by the club. The success of the club was in a large measure due to the invaluable assist- ance of its faculty advisor, Mr. Hintz. The members also are to be praised for the cooperation and sincerity they have displayed. The vigorous, ambitious officers whose excellent work augmented and embellished the success of the society this term are: Sv- E' Prefidenz ,..................... ,......... S IDNEY M.
