In . .QVC-6' fv',TfE:rs' 1 f 4 V wit HATIKVAH SOCIETY - HE Hatikvah Society has not fallen back on its laurels as Harris' out- standing club-a reputation established during the last semester, but, on the contrary has forged ahead to greater heights under excellent and efficient officers. -El This society has set a new record in actual membership. Eighty- five students were active in the society this term. So large an attendance gives ample proof of the excellent work of the organization. As in the past, several symposiums were conducted on subjects of interest to the Jewish student in Harris, The jew Who Has Contributed the Most to Civilization and Zionism, Pro and Con have been some of the topics. In addition to these discussions, through its affiliation with the Interscholastic League of jewish Youth, the society was able to present several eminent leaders of American Judaism. So many non-members desired to hear these speakers that on several occasions the Study Hall had to be made use of on rather short notice. The Hatikvah Chronicle,,' judged the best club paper of last term, has also progressed. Much credit is due the co-editors, Elliott Norwalk and Sid- ney Goldberg, for having issued weekly, three and four-page mimeographed editions. The officers who managed the Society throughout the term were: Preridenf ............................ ...............

Ll' Nil CLASSICAL SOCIETY HE object of this society shall be to instill and further the Harris student's knowledge of Greek and Latin culture. Through the efforts of the faculty and the oiiicers of this Ijs 'E 3 W ,lkgfgx l s 1 I society this object was adhered to most carefully. The club's success, however, was not due Wholly to the assistance of the faculty, but in a greater degree to the wholerhearted cooperation given to the officers. Thus was the society's ultimate goal reached. As usual Mr. Begg gave several exhibitions of slides, which attracted a good number of students. These slides depicted scenes in the Forum, and other Roman scenes, as well as reproductions of Roman coins and other coins of that period. The members of the club are very grateful to Mr. Begg for the privilege of seeing these fine slides. They displayed quite a bit of enthusiasm over them and attempted to learn as much as possible from these exhibitions. Severy exhibitions of Italian and classical art were also given in the library. The RostraI' edited by William Friedberg, presented a fairly creditable appearance, but did not compare favorably with the other club papers.
