French Club The French Club this year has almost doubled its membership over last year, and has generally experienced a new life. The club has met regularly throughout the year, and has begun many interesting projects. Some of these are corresponding with high school students in France, collecting postcards of French buildings and art masterpieces, and playing French games at meetings. These meetings have been lively and varied including French songs, guest speakers and student programs. This has been done with the purpose of the club in mind. It is to further interest in France and to increase knowledge of the people. The French Club is making a study of the conditions in France today. FRENCH CLUB—TOR ROW: P.

For many years the German Club and the Pan-American Club have been giving parties to further a better relationship between the two. The biggest party this year was a Valentine party that both clubs attended. A joint committee made up of four members of each club made plans and carried them out at the party. Each year there is an initiation of new members. This year the initiates had to dress up and wear a sign. They went through a ceremony before they became full-fledged members. The officers last year were: Pres. Lyle Haberland: Vice-Pres. Tom Schafer; and Sec.-Treas. Joan Hunter. Elections are usually made late in the spring. German Club has always been one of the most lively and active clubs in University High. 26

Pan-American League With the aim of gaining greater understanding of Latin-American countries the Pan-American League has completed an active season. Rating first among the year's activities was the Christmas celebration. After parties in all Spanish classes, came the observance of an old Mexican custom, when the pinata was suspended from the ceiling, full of presents. A blindfolded member whacked it with a cane, and the members reaped the profits. At the initiation ceremony last fall, new members wore red sashes and mantillas. The secret oath of the Pan-American League was administered at the following meeting. Spanish Club usually holds its elections in the early fall. This club leaves behind it traditions and happy memories. PAN AMERICAN CLUB—TOP ROW: Hoetgef. Yoder. Myeti. Arncton, R. Harm. C. Johnson, Zictlow, M. Smith. E. Bum. 0. Pearton. 2nd ROW: P.
