Language Clubs Promote LATIN CLUB-Bottom Row The goals of the Russian club included gaining insight into Russian culture and promoting the study of the language. Under the direction of Miss Holubec and Mr. Mechem, the club members viewed an evening vesper service at St. Theodosius Church and attended Russian movies at Western Reserve University. Par- ticipation in poetry-reading contests at Kent State and Western Reserve Universities, as well as attend- ance at a Cleveland performance of the Bolshoi Ballet were planned. Encouraging students to develop an interest in Spanish was the main purpose of the Spanish club. Movies were obtained and speakers were scheduled. dent, C. Ferencz, secretary, J Norenberg, L.
