Interested in good literature, current plays, and outstanding motion pictures, the girts of Toy-Wistalvan meet monthly to exchange their ideas on these subjects and to study them together Few people realize that the name of the club itself is derived from out- standing literary names—Toy from Bayord Taylor, Wist from Owen Wister, Al from Louisa Mae Alcott, and Van from Henry Van Dyke. The club hos secured several speakers to talk on poetry, the short story, and other phases of literature. — U D — In order to improve their French conver- sation and become better acquainted with France and its people, a large group of French students meet every month under the supervision of Miss Chrisman. The club enjoys ploys, colored slides, and motion pic- tures at regular meetings while the annual bonquet in February combines work and play, since all the members attending must speak French and partake of delicious food served in typical French style.
