Get. • • di German Club Makes Culture Painless With Entertainment By ESTELLE SIMON Twenty-seven years ago war fever and a hatred for every thing German seized the people of the United States. Among the major tragedies were the temp orary abandonment of German music and literature; among the minor tragedies *as the disband ment of a group "oncampus, the Dcutscher Vereirt. Not •until 1934 did this• organization, known as the German Club, reappear. Its purpose • then as in 1917 was to unite all students interested in German culture; •customs, • and language. Freshmen students, who usual ly turn up at - the first meeting because it seems like an unex celled opportunity to, l :apple polish, soon learn that the bi-monthly meetings provide fun. The term German culture can he stretched to apply to singing „perennially favorite " American songs, such as Home on the Range—New busi ness may include, ~such bizarre motions as the one which moved' that the president be, forced to close the. bottom button of his sweater. Members from the Lancaster area are always amazed to learn that the Pennsylvania Dutch ex erted powerful influence -politic ally, economically, and socially. This group was once 'Such a po tent force in State politics that a lengthy debate' raged as to whether German or . English should be the accepted language legislature,-,a fact which exemplifies. the sidelights thrown upon history. . Non-members benefit from the club's activities whenever a pro gram of general_ interest can be arranged. In recent years these have included the movie, Emil and die Detektive (Emil and - the Detective) and the annual Christ mas Sings. - • • Food always figured largely in the German ; scr one- •' of living.
