1923 Cedrus Yearbook

IMMEMMIMmuMm.h, LE CERCLE FRANCAIS The past year has seen the rise of a new society in Cedarville College, Le Cercle Francais. The club has as members,students studying second and third-year French. The society meets once a month at the home of the various members. At the first meeting, officers for the first semester were chosen as follows: Marjorie Wright, President; Lulu Murphy, Vice-President; Pauline Collins, Secretary and Treasurer. The meetings of Le Cercle are carried on almost entirely in French. Programs consisting of plays, stories, studies of French life, and music are given. Games played in French are also enjoyed. The organization has a constitution stating its purpose. The emblem is the Fleur de Lis. The members of the society will soon be wearing very beautiful gold and silver pins as their emblem. The purpose of the club is to increase the knowledge and use of the French language. It is thought that much may be gained through the informal conversation which takes place and that if the proper interest is shown it will be equal in value to the formal recitation in the class-room. Aside from the cultural aspect, each is brought into association with students who are interested in the same work and thereby they derive much pleasure. The club sincerely hopes that this organization may be a permanent one, and may continue to be as much a benefit and pleasure to the future students of Cedarville College as it is to the present members.
