This consisted of inviting each club to a joint meeting at which the repre- C sentative of the guest society delivered a ten-minute talk on the con- tributon to American civilization made by the faction, or race, which his club represented. The German, French, Spanish, Italian and Classical Societies were all Well-represented at these interesting joint-meetings. Indeed, they showed the members and visitors the true mettle of their respective people. The innovation proved very successful, in that the co-opreation of every club in Harris was obtained. Still another feature of the club's activities was the successful manage- ment of the Evening World's Current Events Contest in Harris. Under the leadership of the club many major and minor prizes were captured by Harris competitors. The innovation proved very successful, in that the co-operation of every club aided to a great extent by the energetic and most capable faculty advisor, Mr. Landman, are: Presidenz ....,,........,. ..........

' ' g .- LU tit GERMAN CLUB l K ELL planned programs, orderly meetings, and a most interesting club ,N organ have all contributed towards raising the German Club to the 1 high position it now holds in Harris clubdom. V: Q., 1 The society owes a good deal of its success and popularity to the combined efforts of Dr. Richter and Dr. Heynich, each of whom have at different times acted in the capacity of faculty advisor to the organization, and have frequently presented, during the semester, several of their interesting and entertaining talks on German life and culture. p Order was maintained at all the meetings, and business was carried on methodically and capably, leaving a good portion of the time for enjoyable programs. One of the many innovations introduced this semester was that of having the articles of the club paper, Der Beobachterf' written in English instead of in the Teutonic language. This plan proved to be very successful, for by it, not only those Harrisites who were not German students, but also those who were members of the club but still not sufficiently advanced in the lan- guage to comprehend a newspaper article, were all able to peruse the journal with innnite pleasure and satisfaction. Outstanding among the records of the club's activities this semester, are plans for the presentation of an all-German play in the Study Hall. Much progress has already been made in that direction but the difficultyseems to lie in the fact that the lines of the play are written in difficult German and are therefore somewhat hard to memorize.
