Language To enjoy more fully the points of interest in France, thirty passengers of le Cercle Francais devoted most of the bi-monthly meetings to reports and discussions on France ' s background and customs. Swimming and theatre parties proved popular, and members enjoyed heaping a Thanksgiving basket. The German Club launched its meetings in German. By saving book cover pennies the club purchased a piano for the use of the language department. Latin midshipmen kept scrapbooks on Roman customs, a Latin calendar and a daily news bulletin written in Latin. Not having a Spanish Club, the classes are formed into separate clubs. They make the halls of John Moore ring with Spanish popular airs. A Pan-American Day program in Spanish entertained the entire department. Le Cercle Francais caught by the ship ' s camera in the course of a meeting, of which Margaret Campbell was president the first semester, and Rosamond Wahl, the second. Rosamond was unable to appear for a picture. An initiation party, a Christmas party, and a picnic occupied the German Club ' s calendar for the 1938 voyage. Earl Schleicher was president the first semester, and Kenneth Hemmeter, the second. A moment in the Pan American Day program. Elmer Klemm tries out the new piano. The Fuller Brush man, in the person of George Baxter, tries to sell a brush to King Solomon, Jack Dersch, in the course of the program. 64 193 8

The Log — Legenda After friends had extended bon voyage wishes to them from shore, twenty-two hardy Legenda crew members left port at full steam this fall. Gathered around the make-up table are Ruby Kile, Maxine Kile, Joan Dillon, Ruth Zoller, Jerry Bren- ner, Elmer Klemm Kenneth Hemme- ter, Zita Hathaway, Leona Lantz, Howard Peterson, Willis Strobel, Hazel Burgess, Margaret Vasold, Helen Fischer. Helen Bilsky, Mariorie Aldrich, Dorothy Bricker, Ann Wack- er, Charles Maynard, Elmer Simon, Robert Leckie, and Doris Fischer. Captain Helen Fischer mapped out and directed the ship ' s course, ably assisted by her efficient mates, Ruth and Dorothy, who assisted her through the choppy business waters, and Ann and Jerry, alert seamen, who kept the course of the financial records true. Keeper of the ship s log was Helen Bilsky, while Hazel prevented the boat from crashing on the rocks. Elmer Simon, capable steward, con- cerned himself with passengers ' sport activities. Sighting a passenger in a ludi- crous position, Howard points his camera. Joan supervised the launch- ing, and Willis, always on the spot for candid shots, gets caught him- self. Leona, Margaret, and Doris Wag- goner identify passenger passport pictures, and Zita types, Maxine and Kenneth check passenger lists while Marion Frisch gathers information and Jean Mary Holcomb reads proof. Assistant sport steward, Fred Schmidt, gathers material and Doris Fischer speeds up the ship ' s crossing of stenographical straits by acting as reserve typist. Mary Koinis lends a hand at keep- ing financial figures from floating into the Red sea and Ruby sticks to her post at pasting up the dummy. Joyce Papineau keeps a look out -for facts and Elmer Klemm keeps the periscope focused on nautical terms and facts. Legenda 63
