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.

A strong Erie, Pennsylvania, eleven came west and found the Lumberjacks too tough. The colorful feud ended in grim deadl ock. Alma kept the Hill spirits at a satisfactory ebb by tumbling before a mediocre offense 6 to 0. The Valley curtain-raiser left the fans in doubt, as the Jacks fought Flint Northern ' s Vikings to a score- less tie. Harry McGee turned out to be the first casualty of the year when he came out of the fray with a broken leg. An automobile accident heavily draped all optim- ism. This catastrophe ended the life of Arthur Schweins- haupt, junior halfback, and seriously hampered the work 66 193 8
