SIGNIFERI - Miss Dorothy Fulboam, Adviser LE CERCLE FRANCAIS has learned about the customs and interests of the French people. In the informal atmosphere of meetings, folk-dancing and singing provided enjoyment for the members. With the minutes being taken in French and this language prevailing in the conversations, there was an opportunity for the students to increase their vocabulary as well. The members saw an English translation of Moliere's Le Misantlarope at the avant-garde Theatre East in New York. Their Christmas party featured the olden-day candlelighting ceremony. On January 10, the club held the an- nual Epiphany Party, La Feta' des Rois, at which the king was chosen by finding a charm that had been baked in a cake. Their educational field trip was an excursion to the United Na- tions building. To climax the year, a banquet was held at the Auberge Provencale, an authen- tic French restaurant in Chester, New Jersey. Because Latin plays an important part in our everyday life, the members of SIGNIFERI have dedicated themselves to developing an ap- preciation of our heritage from the ancient Romans. The objective of the club was to be- come better acquainted with modern Italy. This active club, as a member of the Na- tional and State Junior Classical League pro- grams, attended the board meetings and na- tional convention. While there, the members had the opportunity to view many films per- taining to Rome and Italy. The club's contri- butions to the convention were the presenta- tion of a Roman fashion show and the display of the Latin newspaper they had published. Their final event of the year was a banquet of food typical of the Roman era. At this ban- quet, guests were dressed in costumes adapted to the Roman theme. bf lk.

EL CIRCULO ESPANOL began the year by recording a complete Christmas program, which included choral speaking, poetry, singing of Christmas carols, the celebration of la pinata, and the recitation of Christmas in Mexico. Parents of the members were invited to hear this recording in the Spanish classes. The club helped its members to understand and appreciate the attitudes and behavior of the Spanish-speaking people. In this way, Span- ish students increased their knowledge and de- veloped their interest in the subject. Other projects of the year were sewing colorful native costumes and flags, cooking spicy dishes, discussing current happenings in the neighboring South American countries and Mexico, and planning bulletin boards for the classroom and displays for the showcase. The year was climaxed by a trip to New 4 York to see a Spanish movie, followed by din- ner in a gay Spanish restaurant. SPANISH CLUB - Mrs. Gaynell Harding, Adviser Kneeling, row 1: J. Kyle, E.

The varied ac- tivities of the members included not only sketching and painting, but modeling clay and making linoleum block prints. The most capable members entered their outstanding works in both county and state- wide contests. By offering their talents, the group served other organizations in the school. Their readi- ness to make advertising posters for different activities or paint scenery for the theatrical productions at Wayne was appreciated by both students and faculty.
