Pape 6 THE MAROON TIGER TEXAS CLUB GETS UNDER WAY The Texas Club having completed its organization for the year and boasting of many new as well as old Texans, anticipates the most successful year since the founding of the club on the campus. In the initial meeting of the year, our new and very competent president, Mr. Melvin Houston, gave us some interesting and thoughtful information. The president, in taking a retrospective view of the Texas Clubs of the past, admonished us to go forward seeking to attain greater heights than any previous club. The newly elected officers are: Melvin Houston, presi dent; Mordis Jackson, secretary; J. E. Smith, business manager; 0. P. Dewalt, Jr., treasurer: and H. J. Battle, reporter. CLASS OF '36 ELECTS OFFICERS Drew S. Days, popular man-about-the-campus, was re elected as president of the Class of ’36 at the end of the last school term. The class last year, under Mr. Days, contributed much to the college in all phases of extra-curricular activity. This year the class has been somewhat reduced in its ranks but it boasts of quite a few new men who have already become imbued with that one-for-all spirit which is typical of all “House men.” The other officers are: Lester McFall, vice president; Johnson Hubert, secretary; Charles Lawrence, treasurer; and Hobart Jackson, reporter. LE CERCLE FRANCA1S ORGANIZED Le Cercle Francois, composed of a dozen or more en thusiastic Francophiles, was organized at the home of Mr. Edward Jones on September 27, 1933. For those of us who have lived and travelled in France, or who have acquired the ability to speak French through years of assiduous application, nothing affords a greater thrill than the opportunity to expatriate ourselves mentally now and then and become aussi Francois que possible. We have, therefore, organized Le Cercle where we may indulge our taste for French culture and civilization, and strive to become more fluent in the language which is of all the modern languages the most stimulating and delightful for conversation. The first meeting of Le Cercle was devoted entirely to organization. The following officers were elected: Mr. Edward A. Jones, president; Miss Camilla Howard, vice president; Miss Billie Geter, secretary; Mrs. Lyndon Hill, treasurer; Committee on Programs, Mr. Hale Wood ruff, Mrs. Irene D. Jackson and Miss Billie Geter. On Wednesday evening, October 11, Le Cercle met with Mrs. Lyndon Hill, 226 Boulevard, N. E. Mrs. Irene Jackson, who studied in France last winter, gave a few charming sketches of life at the University of Toulouse. Mrs. Jackson also played two piano selections, a Cho pin Nocturne and Debussey’s Fn Bateau, and accom panied Mr. Days, who played on the violin Le Cygene of Saint-Saens and the Meditation from Thais by Mas senet. Various members of Le Cercle related anecdotes and experiences they had encountered in France, some of which were quite hilarious. Needless to say, French was de rigueur during the entire evening. We feel that the interest and enthusiasm will increase as the year progresses, and we sincerely hope that we shall be able to execute some of the interesting projects we have planned. GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA PLAN GALA YEAR College Band Is New Feature Extensive Tour Planned The Glee Club and Orchestra is off to a splendid start for the most profitable year in its history. The many additions to the membership, with the entrance of new students and the return of old members, stand well to insure the success of the organization. This year, Mr. Harreld is fortunate in having Mr. Willis James and Mr. D. D. Crawford, Jr., to assist him in working each individual department up to tip-top shape. Mr. James, a graduate of Morehouse and a former pupil of Mr. Harreld, is quite capable of assuming the various tasks that will be placed upon him from time to time. He has served on the music departments of some of our best colleges for the past eleven years. Mr. Crawford has proved his value to the organization by the fine work that he accomplished last term. The or ganization is laying already for the annual tour which will include Rome, Chattanooga, Nashville, Lexington, Cincinnati and Indianapolis. In addition to the orchestra and glee club as major units, a real college band is being organized under the direction of Mr. James. With the aid of the well or ganized band, we plan to elevate the standard of our cheering at football games and at other sporting events of the College. The following men have been selected to serve on the executive staff of the Glee Club and Orchestra for the 1933-34 term: M. C. Darkins, president; Elmer Barks dale, vice president; Wilson Hubert, manager; Drew S. Days, secretary; Bernard Smith, treasurer; Johnson Hu bert and Arthur Christopher, librarians. The Glee Club and Orchestra again extends a cordial welcome to new and old students who desire to become a part of an advancing and vibrant organizaton. ATLANTA UNIVERSITY BOOKSHOP IS BOON TO STUDENT NEEDS Yesterday it was almost unthinkable; today it is a de lightful reality—the Atlanta University Bookshop! Lit tle did students realize that such a unique feature was an underlying cause of the questionnaire prepared by the Department of Economics and Business Administra tion last spring. The Bookshop, under the management of Mr. John Hope II, is rapidly being equipped to meet practically every material need of the student and teacher and is being hailed as a tremendous convenience to the University community. Not only is the Bookshop a store for books, but it is ready to serve in a more far-reaching aspect. All school supplies such as note books, pencils, paper, pens and inks can be reached by a few short steps to the ground floor of the Administration Building where the Book shop is located. Typewriters of standard makes are on the shelves for sale, imagine! In the haberdashery line there is an up-to-date display of sports wear, such as leather jackets, sport sweaters, woolen jackets, golf knickers and hose. According to the management, a full line of other haberdashery will be carried within a very short time. And, of course, there are the appetite teasers such as candies, nuts and sandwiches. Since the Bookshop is designed to serve the student, the students are asked to give suggestions to the manage ment for supplies that may not be in stock. What could be sweeter?
