THE MAGNET Art Club Every Wednesday afternoon from one thirty to three o’clock the members of the Art Club hold their weekly meeting. The Art Club is one of the most popular clubs in our social life at high school. There are twenty-five members and each girl is working on a different project. We have made many different articles, among which are silhouettes, oil paintings, fancy ornamental stuffed Des writing cases, door stops, hooked rugs, hangings, and many more beautiful and useful articles. We are planning an exhibition the second week in June in the Public Library and we extend a cordial invitation to all those who are interested in reviewing our work. Next year we hope there will be many new members to join us in our work and play. The officers are as follows: Pres. Dorothy May, Vice Pres. Dorothy Caswell, Sec. Prudence Welch, Treas. Clemence Allaire. Radio Club The Radio Club has at present six members including the following officers: President, R. Miner; Treasurer, K. Letters; Vice President, J. Maxim; Secretary, R. Rossier; Librarian, P. Haire. During the past year the members of the club have given talks on subject of radio in general; they have also had some code practice. It is the hope of the club members that, with the use of a larger library and an automat- ic code-sending instrument, with other improvements as they are needed, they may arouse more interest next year than was manifested this year. It is interesting for those who intend to make radio their life work, to know that it is the fastest-growing industry of the day, that it needs trained men to continue its growth, and that right now only three men are available for each five jobs. Green MS The Garden Club has just enjoyed one of its most successful seasons under the supervision of faculty advisor Thomas Watson and the officers, who are as follows: President John D. Lavin, Vice-President Francis X. Toolin, Secretary Maurice I. McDonough, and Treasurer John A. Paul. : The Club, at an early meeting had the pleasure of listening to a talk on the Japanese Beetle by John E. Shannon of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. 7 Francis White, Maurice McDonough and John Lavin, alternate, defeated Joe Killelea, Daniel D’Onfro and Joe Regan, alternate, in a spirited debate on Farm Relief. At a later meeting Bernard O’Donnell, a representative of the Mass. State College, addressed the members on Landscape Gardening, and at the conclusion of his talk, he advised the boys on their own particular gardens. The members gave their services willingly in keeping the school grounds in good condition. The officers have planned an extensive program of activities for next year.

THE MAGNET The Stenography Club Looking back over the year, members of the Stenography Club can see many worth- while accomplishments. Some of these are as follows: 1. Four of our members, Catherine Regan, Albina Grinkis, Marie Baril, and Laurette Lyonnais, attended the Worcester County Contest in Shorthand. Out of a group of twenty-five contestants all of the above members were qualified. Miss Regan attained eighth place, Miss Baril tenth place, Miss Lyonnais twelfth, and Miss Grinkis fourteenth. Miss Geneva Desorcie represented the Club, along with three other Seniors, in the typewriting section of the Worcester County Contest. She attained fourth place in the group. 2. Ata meeting in April a speaker from the New England School of Advertising gave a very interesting talk on that subject. Students of the school as well as members of.the Club attended this meeting. 3. An additional accomplishment was that of studying Civil Service requirements and examinations. Aside from obtaining data on how to go about filing applications, we also became acquainted with qualifications necessary for government positions. A successful Club year has been due to the efforts of its members: Catherine Regan, Marie Baril, Rena Mackey, Geneva Desorcie, Margaret Joy, Albina Grinkis, Mary Walsh, Margaret Davidson, Margaret Hammer, Barbara Sawyer, Jeanette Caplette, and Marion Wilfert. Junior Red Cross Club The Junior Red Cross Club held its organization meeting on October 21, 1931. The following officers were elected: President, Mary Scully, Vice-President, Eldora Morse, Treasurer, Elsie Padula, Secretary, Goricia Palumbo. Our faculty advisor was Miss Kilbourne. On Thanksgiving and Christmas we filled two baskets with provisions. With the aid of Miss Kilbourne, we made flannel pajamas for little tots. These were given to Mrs. Parker, who distributed them among needy families. Members of the Club brought from home old clothes, which were mended and given to the poor. The Junior Red Cross Club of 1930-1931 has also made a quilt which was donated to a needy family. The last few weeks were spent in making scrap books, which were given to the hospital. Thus we concluded what we feel has been a very successful year. L.. H. S. Aviation Club The officers of the L. H. 8. Aviation Club were as follows: President, Francis White; Vice-President. Milton Merril: Secretary, Walter Gay; Treasurer, Howard Cook. Mr. Elmer J. Bucknell was Faculty Advisor. The motion picture ‘‘Dirigible’’ was run at the Plymouth Theatre on October 5, 1931. The members of the Club sold tickets around the city. The picture was well liked by everyone attending. During the meetings talks on the latest adventures in aviation were given by various members. Different types of airplanes and dirigibles were spoken of. Bin of the lack of transportation, the Club did not visit any of the surrounding airports. Some of the members made model airplanes which were shown during the Club meetings. The Aviation Club took a ‘‘hop’’ from the Leominster-Fitchburg airport. Some of the members went up in the cabin plane and others flew in the open cockpit plane. Everyone enjoyed his ride very much.
