Dr. Thomas Fitzhugh 
Mr. L. R. Britting

Friends, townsmen, Wilsonites, lend me your ears, While I trace the brief history throughout the years Of the Latin Club, held in esteem. 
For it started in a most unusual way
By the boys (!) of the Latin Club (non sic today)
Senior boys of the class seventeen. 
(Forgive the rude jest, but remember alway
The faculty adviser a big part did play
In the Latin Club’s marked success).
Its purpose, always, is to study the life, 
Both public and private, of the Romans so rife 
With interest, in deep earnestness; 
Also to create through our school and our town 
A love for the classics and to gain more renown
For ancient Rome’s language, chiefly. 
On the Ides of the month these students do meet. About forty in number, and joyfully greet 
The day on which it is to be. They have studied about clothing, the foods and the homes,
The furniture and customs, “et cetera,” of Rome,
And have heard talks by those who’ve been there. Such is the Latin Club’s unblemished past. 
But when the bright future’s record is cast,
Si posset, may that be more fair!

   La Societe Francaise is divided into four groups, which alternate in presenting programs at the weekly meetings. The programs, rendered in French, are com-posed of current events, songs, stories, poetry and drama.
    At the first meeting of the spring term, an attractive little comedy, “La Lettre Chargee,” by Eugene Labiche, was presented. The chief dramatic work of the year was the public presentation, in May, of Rostand’s “Les Romanesques.” Here’s hoping that La Societe Francaise will have a long and prosperous existence.

    On October 9, 1922, the Commercial Club held its first meeting in the Woodrow Wilson High School. Any person having successfully completed one term of any commercial subject, and is still pursuing studies in that department is eligible to become a member of the Club. The purposes of the Club are to further commercial education in the school, and to keep the members better informed about the business in our city, as it really exists, by having talks made by public speakers and business men. By having a different program committee for each meeting the interest was stimulated, as nearly every member had some part in the program.
    Taking everything in consideration, the first year of the Commercial Club in this school was unusually successful. Purpose—To keep students better informed about business as it really exists in this city by having talks made by public speakers and business men, and to further commercial education in the school.
