Les Elites f The Chosen Few, We, the Les Elites, consider ourselves the chosen fewl' because within our club we hold a great trust. That is the trust to manifest good feeling and friendship not only to- ward our immediate surroundings but to all mankind. Our club consists of 26 members. Each one feels within himself that he alone has an important task to fulfill. The use as our motto Toujour Francais which means always French is important. As we know, most Frenchmen are lovers of peace and when we say Toujour Francaisv we notw only mean always French but always brotherhood. ' We sincerely feel that if everyone tries as we are trying, you will find, not only happiness and contentment, but that you too, are one of The Chosen Few. . . . .Jacqueline Clark .........Clara Rice . . . ,Vera Fickling . . . . .Gertie Wyman . . . .Toujour Francais . . .Toujour Francais . . . .Green and White Hant . . . .Humanite Miss WHITLEY 4 0 35955 WWWMWWFWNWW 45 53
