Classical Club Notes To onlookers, the Classical Club may have appeared to be a failure this year, but to the members themselves, this has been a year of interest and entertainment. This year ' s officers are: Very little was accomplished the first semester, as the students seemed to have lost all interest in the affairs of this club, and enthusiasm could not be aroused. At last, a plan was devised which changed things entirely. Membership was limited to the second, third, and fourth year Latin students; and the meetings were held once a month during the recitation hours. Although little time has been given to social events, the meetings, under the new system, have been very interesting. Myths and poems in relation to the Aenead were disc ussed, while at another time, Greek and Roman art was found to contain features of interest to present day students. During the latter part of the first semester, a lecture was given at the high school by Professor Crittenden from the University of Michigan. He spoke to a large and interested audience on the subject: Old Greek and Roman Games. We did not have time to give a play this year, but a party of some kind will probably be given to add a final touch to the year ' s success.
