THE TRADE TACKLER -1 - . The KNITTING CLUB By Elsie Jarvis and Naomi Delss ONL: of the most interesting clubs sponsored by our school is the Knitting and Cro- cheting Club. Our instructor is Mrs. Williams. The popularity of this club was plainly evident when fifty girls enrolled the first day. It was necessary, however, to limit the membership to thirty. Many of the members knew nothing about either knit- ting or croeheting, but have learned the plain stitches of easy problems, and are ea- gerly looking forward to working on more difficult ones which will show what they can really accomplish. . Articles being made by the girls are sweaters, berets, collars, purses, scarfs, and other useful accessories. A number of girls from the club took time after school to visit local department stores sponsoring various revues of crocheted and knitted ar- ticles and garments. After reviewing 111uel1 in this line of work, they decided that it was more economical to knit or crochet their own suits and dresses than to buy them. This year, especially, crocheting and knitting are quite fashionable for clothing as well as bedspreads, table cloths, scarfs and covers for backs and arms of chairs.

THE TRADE TACKLER The ART CLUB By Dorothy Ring and Harriet Schuler THE Art Club, under the direction of Miss Ritter, has had a year of various activities which may be divided into three classifications. The Hrst of these, creative works, included water color and oil sketches, pencil and charcoal drawing, and ink sketches. The subject matter that seemed to be of general interest was figure drawing and costume design. Craft work interested another group. This consisted of needle point pocket-books and pictures, wall hangings, books, portfolios and albums. The third activity consisted of visits to the Baltimore Art Museum and the 'Walters Art Galley as well as tl1e study of slides from the Department of Education and exhibits from the Museum of Art. The slides were a miscellaneous collection of paintings and material from the Walters Art Collection. Among the exhibits from the Museum were five modern pictures, seven medieval pictures, four examples of modern printing, eight types of the graphic arts and five modern posters.

THE TRADE TACKLER The TRADE TACKLER CLUB By Marie Kelly 'Ilia meetings of The Trade Tackler Club this year have been conducted by Harriet Sehuler, with Ruth Bitterman serving as secretary. During the winter the members of the club, with Mrs. Rich, visited the Ottmar Mergenthaler School of Printing where our school paper is printed. The trip proved to be very interesting to the girls. Since the club began its work, there have been seven issues of The Trade Tackler published. In nearly every number there have appeared pictures which were of inter- est to students and friends of Girls Vocational School. VVith the coming of spring the weekly meetings become even more filled with interest and activity. The June number is always the biggest undertaking of the year. The publication and sale of this year-book will complete the work of the present club. It has been a pleasure to publish a paper for our own school and to exchange papers with other vocational schools.
