The Agricultural Club
HE Agricultural Club has completed another active year. It has
JL succeeded in arousing a keen enthusiasm among the students in the
discussion of current agricultural problems. This has been possible
through the evening meetings at which the students have obtained a
closer association with the professors of all departments of the faculty.
The noon-hour meetings fostered by the Club were particularly
successful this year. At these meetings outside speakers spoke on such
present-day problems as The Wheat Situation of Canada” and cThe
Epidemology of Tuberculosis.” The oratorical contest was a feature of
the Spring term.
The annual trip to Agassiz was held early in March, and the enthusi
asm displayed showed that it is still one of the most popular attractions
of the year. The programme for the day consisted of a livestock judg
ing competition and an inspection of the farm. The year’s activities
were closed by the annual Livestock Banquet where the winners of the
oraorical contest and the judging competition received their rewards.
The executive for the year 1930-3 1 consisted of: Honorary Presi
dent, Prof. H. R. Hare; President, Tom Leach; Secretary-Treasurer,
Wilson Henderson; Manager of Evening Meetings, Bill Osborne;
Manager of Outside Speakers, Bill Vrooman; Manager of Debates, Bill
Whimster.

L’Alouette
T ‘ALOUETTE has had for its aim this year, the promotion of interest
JI_J in the life and literature of France, as well as the encouragement of
greater fluency in the French tongue. The fortnightly meetings were held
at the homes of various members and the programmes have consisted of
conversation, games, folk-songs, scenes from Moliere’s comedies and
sketches of twentieth century French writers. Two very interesting
evenings were the ‘La Fontaine Soiree” at the home of Madame Guiness,
and the informal tea at Le Restaurant Francais.
The members of the Club wish to express their gratitude to Miss
Grieg for her untiring efforts in the interests of the Club, to the hostesses
whose hospitality has added so much to the success of the meetings, and
to Miss Norah Haddock, Mr. Arthur Beattie, and Mr. Abner Poole,
former officers, for their assistance.
The executive for the year included: Honorary President, Miss
Janet T. Grieg; President, Miss Margaret Creelman; Vice-President, Miss
Margaret Rathie; Secretary, Miss Marion McLellan; Treasurer, Miss
Vera Tipping.
