Many experiments are performed and new methods discussed and carefully studied. The camera fiends have recorded interesting and amusing shots of school life that frequently surprise the students. The club project for this year is the formation of a photo-year book containing photographs made by the members of the club. Here the experimental and the aesthetic are combined with the abstract and theoretical. Students participating enjoy the satisfaction of thinking translated into action, developing their creative ability. uniofz from Under the efficient direction of Miss Mary Monson, the Iunior Red Cross has accomplished many worth while projects. In November its representatives collected a considerable sum as Iunior and Senior High home rooms responded to the Red Cross Call. The annual White Christmas was successfully carried out with many needy fam- ilies in this community receiving baskets of food. In addition, a supply of children's clothing was collected and distributed, and less fortunate pupils in the Kentucky Mountains were sent fiction and textbooks no longer needed in this school.

C7155 inet CIM The Fixit Club, a new organization under the leadership of Mr. Lidstrom, has for its main aim the repairing of property, both school and private, before it reaches a stage where a real expense would be involved if it had to be mended by an expert. The work is done in an entirely individual manner. As soon as a request for services is received, a member collects the ailing article, makes the repairs, and returns it promptly. The club, preserving school property and saving expense as it does, has proved a most valuable service organization. omsfiflon nas Under conditions made difficult by war the club has enlarged its friendships and strengthened its ties with countries where boys and girls are carrying on the routine of life in spite of the impending shadow of disaster. The fact that most of our pen pals write from England, Austria, Finland and China has been of deep significance The routine of meetings was varied in February by a Valentine Tea for faculty members and parents who were made acquainted with the interests of the club by a program of letter reading and talks by a member who had lived in Labrador and another who had visited lreland. An interesting exhibit of pictures and presents from our foreign friends was displayed. During the year two dolls dressed in current American modes have gone to Japan and Hawaii and in return we have received dolls. OFFICERS Pmvidrnt Angelo I.
