lTER'S CLUB FRENCH CLUB The French Club was formed last fall under the direction of Mr. jacq, its faculty advisor. It has been the most active language club on the campus. Meetings have been held in conjunction with the Connecticut College For Women. French movies have been shown. The highlight of the French Club s activities was the singing of French songs by Mrs. McKee. The Writer s Club came into existence at the beginning of the first semester. The club was organized to afford the opportunity of those interested in writing to compare their works, selecting the best ones for publication. The club sponsored a successful contest for the best poetry and prose, offering monetary prizes to the winners. FREELANCE, the club's publication, combined the best efforts of club members and the contest winners. We are hoping that a magazine as fine as this year's FREELANCE will be published in 1948. Faculty advisor for the club is Miss Marion L. Starkey CAuthor of Cherokee Nation D. The officers for this year were: Michael Guadano, Chairmang Phillip Isaacs, Vice-Chair- mang Martin T. Birnbaum, Secretaryg and Thomas Phillips, Treasurer.
