FERDINANDO MAURINO Heated by the embers from a pot-bellied stove and feted on coffee and doughnuts, Le Cerde Fran– cais, one of the first language dubs of T .C.C., was organized, its purpose-to advance an appreciation of French Culture. Meetings were greatly diversified with the inclu– sion of lectures by students and instructors, French recordings, game nights, and films, one of the out– standing of which was "Mona Lisa." A feature of the first year's program was a picnic held at Joyce Barne's country home. In the spring of 1948, " La Fete des Fous" (The Feast of the Fools) was carried out in a typically French tradition, com– plete with candles, checkered tablecloths, and attend– ents wearing French berets. The monthly· newspaper, "Fleur de Lys," pub– lished in French and co-edited by Barbara Kessler and Barbara Rood, includes classroom anecdotes, cartoons, and faculty messages. 82
