Organized in 1927, the society aims to stimulate Catholic college graduates to active participation in Church and secular affairs.

Opportunities offered by the trip include study at the Sorbonne, a fling at journalism, and intense con centration on the French language, customs and friendships. The trip is sponsored by the French department under the direction of Sister Mary Elsa, B.V.M. Students making the trip are Lynn Klopstock, Patrice Ward and Kathy White, sophomores; Adri enne Bailey, Antoinette Krenek, Susan Gaidzik, juniors; Patricia Kaufman, Kathy O'Keefe, Virginia Newhart, Maryellen Walsh and Sis ter Marie Antoine, B.V.M., seniors. Two teachers of French, Sister Mary Clement, B.V.M., California, and Sister Mary Daniela, B.V.M., Colorado, will travel with the group. The specific purpose of the travelers, says Sister Mary Elsa, is to acquire fluency in French, and the emphasis of the trip is on its studious na ture, although the students will have an opportunity for sight seeing and some relaxation. The girls should become French for four and a half months, Sis ter Mary Elsa said, and should be completely lost in the civilization of France; they should eat what the French eat and live as they live. In preparation for the journey, Sister met with the girls weekly at informal dinner sessions in the Tea room, briefing them on specific problems they will encounter in so cial customs. Besides language difficulties, the students will meet different cul tures within France. Their three geographical centers, Paris, Caen and Aix-la-Chappelle, represent both urban and provincial societies. Their first stop is Caen in the north of France. During their three-week stay there, they will audit classes at the University of Caen. Second stop on the girls' route is Paris, where the living is more sophisticated, said Sister Mary Elsa. The first two weeks in Paris will be orientation, during which students will visit museums, thea ters and other historical points of interest. Although arrangements are not yet denite, the girls may work for Mademoiselle magazine as American consultants. Serious work begins July 4, when courses begin for all the travelers at the Institute des Professeurs de Francais a l'Etranger, a college of the Sorbonne which trains foreign students in the teaching of French. The girls leave for Marseille in the middle of August. They will travel to Nice, Aries and Avignon from their student hostel in Aix-la- Chappelle. The theater reopens in Paris in the fall, so the travelers will take in a few plays before their return to America, Oct. 2.
