Final French Conversation Table
It was a gorgeous day for the celebration of the final French Conversation
Table. Pizza was served on the lawn of Lee House, the "Maison
Francaise," at St. Olaf College while students strolled around,
taking advantage of the great weather and the good conversation
with fellow students and friends. The French House members host
various events throughtout the school year. This year's events included
a "Soiree Africaine" and a "Soiree Crepe."
