ALICE FREEMAN PALMEE CLUB Alice Freeman Palmer Club The Alice Freeman Palmer Literary Club was organized October 3, 1921. Mr. Haggard, the originator of the Club, gave us a short talk and also introduced our faculty advisors, Miss Dona Boyle and Miss Woodman. At our second meeting we chose officers for the first semester. They were: President, Esther Walker; vice president, Jean McDermid; sec- retary, Helen Carr; treasurer, Genevieve Brandt. Our Club progrssed rapidly under the leadership of these officers. The meetings are held every two weeks and their purpose is to promote literary interest and provide social enjoyment. Two and a half hours of credit are given, providing that members are not absent from more than two meetings and take part in at least one program. During the first semester a pot luck supper was held.

With this body of competent officials the Spanish Club was able to live up to the student body ' s expectations. November 12, 1 21, the Spanish Club members served a typical Spanish supper to about fifty people with general dancing afterwards. The Guest Supper, held January 12, 1922, was the largest, most successful activity of the first semester. This meeting ended the first semester activities, and all the members feel confident that the club has accomplished its purpose of introducing, to others, customs, man- ners and ideas which are typically Spanish. At a special meeting held February 7, 1922, the following officers were elected for second semester. President Pearl Hansen Vice President Carl Pohlman Secretary Helen Hollies Treasurer Robert Haines Chairman of Entertainment Committee : Daisy Hollies. Chairman of Refreshment Committee : Jessie Turner. The committees appointed by the chairmen are : Entertainment Committee: Eleanor Brewer, Bradley Cox. Refreshment Committee: Gladys Streeter, Helen Hollies. The Spanish Club decided at their Valentine party, which was held in February, to give a play which will take place in May. The com- mittee appointed to select the play is the following: Carl Pohlman, chairman ; Jessie Turner, Eleanor Brewer. The success of the Spanish Club during 1921-22 was partly due to the club advisors, Miss Abele and Miss Brown, whose main effort was to make the club a huge success.
