HARRY L. HALEY ' nooks REVIEWED Through the able leadership of Mrs. Neal Allen the Pathfinders Club has completed a most satisfactory year. Started in l924, it has increased its membership from twenty to more than three hundred mothers of Deering and Lincoln Junior High School pupils. Because of the illness of the President, Mrs. Chase, Vice-President, has Dresided at some meetings and assisted Mrs. Allen in other ways, One object of the club is to provide a means of communication between parents, pupils and teachers, help in the general welfare of the school, and promote friendship between the mothers. Varied and interesting programs were arranged. At the first meeting, Mr. William B. Jack spoke on Educational Problems in Maine Today , stressing the difficulties with which the schools have been faced the past five years. Miss Winnibel Gower cited many interesting facts from the time of the first Deering Library to the present time in her subject, Our Library .Everett Lord, Dean of the College of Business Administration of Boston University, spoke on Economic Education , and Miss Hazel Clark, Dean of Women of Bates College, on Guide Posts in Education . A Christmas Pageant was presented by students of the Deering Dramatic Club, and a Lincoln Program by students of the Lincoln Junior High Dramatic Club. Music has been provided by the musical organizations of the two schools. The Friendship Committee, with the cooperation of Mr. Wing, made it possible for some teachers from various school departments to be present during each social hour. This afforded an opportunity for both mothers and teachers. Another object of the club is to award a scholarship each year of 55200.00 to some boy or girl who, by his or her character, scholastic ability and financial need, shall prove himself worthy of consideration. Through the Special Funds Committee, sufficient means have been raised to enable the club to award two scholarships. One of 5200.00 and one of SlO0.00. Guest afternoon was observed at one meeting. More interest in the club was aroused and new members secured. Work done in Manual Training, Art, Domestic Science and Mechanical Drawing Departments was on exhibition after the April meeting. These exhibits were appreciated. After each meeting tea was served in the cafeteria by a group of hostesses. This has tended to promote sociability and friendship among those present. The Literature Class, meeting once each month, is open to Pathfinder members and their guests. Many late novels and plays have been reviewed by both members and outside speakers. These meetings have been of great interest and well attended.
