 Q u i n a u I t ICatin Club As once the Res Publica Komana dominated the “orbem terrae . so now once again this Res Publica by virtue of its membership and activity stands “secundus nulli. The guilty spirits of the Romans never endured worse tortures at the hands of tlie Manes than the initiates at the hands of their masters. The unfortunate “servi” wandered about Hades, seeking the prophecies of the Sibyl and enduring the Horrors of the (iallic Wars. About sixty new members were initiated at this first meeting. The consuls. Rerwin llulbert and (iladys Phillips, proved that 'dux femina facti was no misnomer. The Scriba of this group was Aileen Autio and its opulent quaestor, Dick Street. The Aediles under the direction ot Evelyn Cherry made meetings interesting by special features and programs throughout the whole year. Even Caesar s assassination was duly observed. I Barbara Owens and Frances Rerlin were censors. 'The club has had another successful year, proving true the remark of our friend Vergil, that “labor omnia vincit.” Although “tempus fugit,” and Miss Rush sees many consuls and many quaestors, she is “semper eadem and truly the “dea ex machina of this Res Publica Romana. ♦ ♦ 1 Twenty-five I

 Q u i n a u I t Jfrencfj Club hii. oui, Monsieur, c est bien Monsieur were snatches of con 'ersation that drifted through the rooms when “les gens desprit decided to conduct all meetings as far as possible in French. In spite of many a groan and moan that ensued when an unfortunate “Anglais attempted to make himself understood by means of some involving French tongue-twister, all members agreed that by the end of the year much had been learned of hrench conversation and pronunciation. The purposes of “le cercle francais are, mainly, to further the interest in French manners and customs and to increase the knowledge of the language in general. I hese officers helped create a true French spirit at the club meetings: Barbara Preble, president; Lucy Ann Could, secretary; Dorothy Cantwell, treasurer. After many fears and tears, the new students became members at the first meeting which was in the form of an initiation. Thereafter one meeting was held every six weeks, when Trench plays, talks, skits and songs were given by various students. 1 he final event of the vear was a picnic. Much credit is due Miss Dorothy Foster, the new advisor, for her cooperation and suggestion. The members of this organization have firmly expressed their belief that e’e Test pas le resultat qui importe. e’est 1’effort. ♦ ♦ I Twenty-four I

(Q u i n a u I t pantsl) Club “ enid, fielos todos, A Helen marchemos.” Such were the words that greeted the ears of school officials fortunate enough to be among those serenaded by the Spanish club when the group celebrated a Spanish holiday in accordance with the custom of Spain. New members’ thoughts were turned towards many horrible things as they were conducted through a miniature escorial as part of their initiation. One of the many Spanish proverbs which fits this group is “Cada oveja con su pareja”—“Birds do flock together. So did the Spaniards when “Los Castellanitos” exchanged programs with the 1 loquiam group. Toreador Spirit was displayed when they conquered the task of selecting pins to represent their club. For the first time since the organization of “Los C astellanitos” the club has published its own paper, entitled “Aventura.” “Los Castellanitos” aims to make real Spaniards of the students. It is a select group for second year students who have attained a grade of C or better and for first year students who have received a grade of A or B. The group that led in the conquests are president. Flora (iurrad; vice president, Laura Mead: secretary, llelbc Salo; treasurer, Howard Fthridge; and advisor. Miss Irene Johnston.
