German Club ONTRADICTING the saying that whatever goes up must come down, the German Club, under the leadership of Mr. Taub, has, this past term, maintained the high standard of excellency, established in years gone by. For many terms the German club has been considered the foremost organi- zation in Harris clubdom. Year after year has witnessed the continued miraculous success of the club, until this term it may be truly said, without the shadow of a doubt, that the German Club is positively the best club in Harris at the present. As usual the weekly meetings held by the club were attended by many students. Interesting programs were presented each week and much of the enjoyment derived from them was due to Mr. Taub, the energetic faculty advisor. Not entirely satisfied by the mere attendance of many interested but in- active members, the officers of the German Club set about to revise the orvani- zation of the club so as to provide each member with a more enervetic share in the activities of the club To bring about this desired end the following was done At the beginning of the semester the society was divided into three groups the Deutscher Verein a singing group, and a dramatic society At the same time the German paper Der Beobachter , was placed under the supervision of the German Department The advantage of this act was immediately shown From the beginninff the singing group became exceedinvly popular It was invited to sing over the air and at various high schools The dramatic group, not to be outdone pre sented a play at one of the assemblies and the German Club as a whole held a boat ride thus adding another precedent to the many it has already established Another feature of the club s intensive program this term was the neatness of its paper DER BEOBACHTER The lournal made regular weekly appear ances and was well received by the students The above two reasons together with the fact that the articles were excellently written will make this terms BEOBACHTIJR a Goal for future issues to attain The officers who so ably succeeded in bringing about the club s enviable record during the past term were QM' 4 If l SIDNEY LIPSCHUTZ Vice P1 erzdefzl ARTHUR KRIVIS Sect y f76d5Zl761 IRVING DoDEs Pub and Pmg Mgi - . . .
