Occupational Information Club N THE days of the Village Blacksmithi' there were only a few occupations, and children coming from school could look in at the open doors and see most of them. Now, there are thousands of occupations and most of the factories and offices have no ad- mittance or for employees onlyv signs on the doors so that it is difiicult to really know what workers do and how they do it. In order to keep up with these modern trends the Occupational Information Club has grown out of the guidance classes. The aim of the club is to give the members knowledge of the occupations offered in Saginaw. There are charts placed on the walls listing the occupations in this city. The club members that are interested in the different occupations put their names after the ones they are inter- ested in. After there are suiiicient names after a certain occupation, they have a speaker come and talk to them on that vocation. This is a comparatively new club and they have not had many speakers as yet. Mr. Lewis, who is the head of the club, plans to have speakers come to talk to them at four o'clock. This club has high aims in helping the boys and girls find out what occupational opportunities are oifered in Saginaw. It can be highly recommended that this club be car- ried on in all guidance classes for years to come. Bob Burt +Pt34I4 -

Assistance back stage which Mrs. Ulman greatly appreciated, Was given by Lucille Voss, Morris Lueder, Henry Moore, Don and Jack Allison, and Burnell Loder. Much work has also been done by the Girls Glee, Boys' Glee and Madrigal Club. These activities have given each person of the music department a chance to show what they have earned in the music classes. We wish to thank Mrs. Ulman for the wonderful work she has accomplished and hope that you have enjoyed the many peformances given by the music department. Pk Ili PK Bk Your Art Department Did you know that we have had four art teachers Within the last year? The Erst was our beloved Miss Austin who was taken ill. Then came Miss Howell and later Miss Win- ston. The rumor was passed around that We were to have a Miss Crawford from the art school at the University of Michigan. She came in April to be with us the rest of the year. Never before have we seen such originality and activity in the art department. It is not Work but play and joy and fun. We are us- ing many mediums-pencil, crayon, colored chalk, watercolor, tempera, finger paint, clay, and oil paint. With these and others we create many grand compositions which are on exhibition in our art gallery. Ninth grade artists are making life sketch- es from a real model. Work has been started recently on murals which will depict the past, present and future of the city of Saginaw. We are very busy and happy in our art studio and We join Miss Crawford in Welcom- ing others. Marilyn Stipe PRESS ROOM OF PRINTING SHOP +f35I+
