On the timely magic ccrrpet of 1941, members of the Humanities Club travel back through the ages by way of the Art and Oriental Institutes. Under the guidance of Miss Dorothy Weil and Miss Lucile Gafford, the club sponsors, these culturally-minded students aim to promote a deeper interest in art, literature, and philosophy. In order to bring some of the his- torical scenes back to Wilson for other students, a special commit- tee, headed by Muriel Springer, maintains a colorful art exhibit on the bulletin board just outside. the Humanities room, 2 ISA. Each week takes the onlooker back to some Roman, Greek, Egyptian, or Babylonian surroundings.

ine Anil Sponsored by Mr. William Mad- den, the Fine Arts Club aims to encourage students in further ap- preciating the arts. At the club meetings members discussed the various problems that were en- countered by present-day artists like Picasso. During the semester, several trips were made by the group to the Art Institute to view the masterpieces of Goya and other great artists. The artistic creations of the stu- dents were exhibited at affairs, such as at Wilson ' s Spring Carni- val this semester. Those students who are in Mr. Madden ' s art classes and who wish to spend more time with the Fine Arts invite other artists-to-be with similar in- terests to gain a still further appre- ciation of the arts. The club officers for the fall se- mester of 1941 were George Stef- fanopoulos as president, Gilbert Wallace as vice-president, and Shirley Koenig as secretary. The spring semester leaders were George Steffenopoulos, president; Bill Erickson, vice-president; Betty Ort, secretary; and Norah LaVelle, treasurer.

Lfen 4funt Should you happen to pass Room lllA and hear German singing, don ' t be alarmed. It is merely the festivities of the Ger- man Qub. This group, under the sponsorship of Mr. Alfred Thomas, meets once every week in order to learn to use the German lan- guage in speaking and singing. Social affairs are featured on the prog ram of the German Club. Every year a gala Kaffeeklatsch is held. There are entertainment and group singing, and of course, al- ways refreshments. Another an- nual feature is the French-German tea dance. Any one interested in learning more German is invited to attend meetings. Officers for the fall semester in- cluded Anne Heitz, president; Mel- V i n Lundgren, vice - president; Eunice Lang, secretary; and Wal- ter Erikson, treasurer. The officers for the spring semester were Rob- ert Hughes, president; Edward Turner, vice-president; Margaret Dates, secretary; and Ellastean Montgomery, treasurer.

Always among the active groups at Wilson is the Interna- tional Relations Qub, sponsored by Mr. C. W. Peterson. During the fall semester of 1940 Warren Han- son acted as president; Sam Mara- gos, vice-president; and Margaret Selders, secretary-treasurer. For the spring semester Sam Maragos was elected president; Myron Rush, vice-president; and Marga- ret Selders, secretary-treasurer. War-torn Europe has been a leading controversial topic of the organization, providing members with a basis for zealous discus- sions and debates. In an effort to clarify the issues involved, the International Relations Qub, to- gether with the Social Science Club, invited Dr. Walter Laves, frequently heard on the University of Chicago Kound. Table, to speak on the relation of the United States to the present World War. Among other accomplishments during the past semesters, the club has participated in a heated de bate with the social science stu- dents of the Chicago Teachers ' College. Members of International Relations Club have also taken an active part in student and faculty round table discussions. Serving as a center for social functions among the taller girls of Wilson, the Higher-Ups include lectures, plays, and concerts in their yearly program. Require- ments for membership in the club are that girls must measure at least five feet, eight inches in height and must have a desire to participate in club activities. Although Miss Helen Hubbard, the sponsor, does not meet the minimum height requirement, her able leadership more than suffices. A new step forward for the Higher- Ups has been the adoption of a club pin which has become the prized possession of each member. Leading the other girls of the or- ganization, not in height but in guidance, are Donna Frasemer, the club president; Marilyn Wer- n e r, vice-president; Rosemary Clous, secretary; Alyce Graham, treasurer; and Myrtle Connell, Club Board representative.
