GETTING BACK TO NORMAL LIFE Even though things seem a bit topsy- turvy, we still have one club that is normal-the girls' sewing club. No one can deny that the girls in their club are in their right place. Perhaps they are more adept in this subject than in manual arts. Under the supervision of Miss Agnes Galvin, the girls make many beautiful and worthwhile things. Some knit sweaters and caps, others embroider covers and pillow tops, and still others do difficult needlework. IF HE COULD ONLY COOK! If he could only cook-. Well he can because he belongs to the boys' cooking club under the supervision of Miss Mary Lynch. The club meets weekly and turns some mighty delicious food stuff. The boys learn proper use of kitchen utensils, and it is hoped that they help mother with the same enthusiasm that is displayed at their club meeting. The knowledge is especially useful in camp- ing out-of-doors, and in emergencies at home. NIMBLE FINGERS THEY WON'T NEED WIVES OSCARS OF THE WALDORF CAN IT! Seventy-three

HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD Girls wishing to become proficient in the use of hammer and saw join the manual arts club. Under Mr. Albert Freeman the girls learn the rudiments of carpentry. By dint of perseverance and many a bruised thumb, they are able to make bookends, stools, and jewel boxes. Bene- fits derived from the club will appear later when the girls become housewives, for they will be able to do their own minor repairs. PLANE IT DOWN Seventy-two ONE INCH TOO SHORT
