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.

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

However, the Bisbila came through. The students working on the annual gave up many valuable study periods and precious Saturday mornings. The book could not have been possible if members of each class had not co-operated. Special thank yous go to the following assistants: Mary Nor- was responsible for the attractive illustrations which headed the feature section, and the excellent photography of Charlotte Abrahamson made possible the pictures of our school heroes.
