' 1 I I ilcwilxniuua L. Le Cercle Francais Le Ccrcle Francais began the year 1924-25 with a good enrollment which was increased by an Associate Member- ship composed of students who were taking their first year of French. The purpose of this club has been directed towards interesting and educating the student in the lan- guage, literature, and life of the French people, and, at the same time, clarifying the pronounciation of words of this beautiful language. Toward this end the club has constant- ly worked, obtaining more pleasing results with each en- deavor. Much of this success may be attributed to the chair- man of the entertainment committee, Anna Rappaport, who handled the year's program very satisfactorily. French was used exclusively in all speeches and entertainments given before the club so as to diffuse a greater knowledge of this tongue. Tout bien ou 'l'Z'0'l1 fthe best or nothingj is the motto of the French Club. In order to carry on the high stand- ards heretofore set by its predecessors, the club has tried to live up to this ideal. With a capable adviser, Mrs. Beardsley, to guide it, success was inevitable. Those who are now leaving the club will look back with pleasure on the many social events that have taken place and resulted in promoting a spirit of good fellowship among the club's members. Upon those who remain will fall the responsibility of maintaining the lofty purpose and keep- ing the spirit of the Le Cercle Fircmcais kindled high.

XE.-. x' - 'x '. l . .-wzlul Fasccs Club Zeta Chapter Great oaks from little acorns grow. So all worth while things have small beginnings. Three years ago there came into the group of Wood- ward organizations, the Latin Club. By the beginning of last year we had already outgrown infancy. We had become a lusty and precocious youngster. But now we are, indeed, grown up. We feel justified in saying that this has been our biggest year, that we occupy one of the highest places obtained by a school organization. We have cultivated the study of the Classics and have widened our fields of learning and spheres of endeavor. Our programs, dealing with those topics that aided us in understand- ing Roman life, customs and religion, have been varied and interesting. At one of our meetings, thanks to the efforts of our faculty adviser, Mr. Phipps, we were fortunate enough to have Professor Carr, form.erly pro- fessor of Latin at Oberlin College and who has lately been transferred to the University of Michigan, speak to us on the benefits and uses of Latin. Professor Carr proved to be an unusually interesting speaker, and his talk was enjoyed immensely by all the Latin students. At another meeting Miss Merrill, the Well-known lecturer at our Art Museum, de- livered a talk on The Ercaratiofns in Pompeii, which she illustrated with slides. Since hearing Miss Merrill speak, we all know Why she is so prominent and popular in lecturing circles. In the fall, Mr. Phipps attended the annual Latin teachers' conference held at Ohio Wesleyan University. On his return he suggested that We joint the F asces, a club which was first organized by the Latin students of Scott High School several years ago. This club has organized chapters in various high schools throughout the state. Its chief aim is to promote a more intensive study of Latin and classics. Mr. Phipp's suggestion was adopted by a unanimous vote of the club members. Little reorganization was neccessary, with the exception of initiating several members Who had entered the club with the beginning of the new year. Although We are unfortunate in that many of those members who have done their utmost in the interest of the club are leaving us this year, we hope that as the Zeta Chapter of the Fasces we may continue our progress.
