CATALOG, MINNEHAHA ACADEMY and in Christian leadership. As an organization it is active in Christian work at school and in the churches of the Twin Cities. MISSION STUDY CLASS The mission study class is a group of young people, preferably not over ten or twelve in number, that meets regularly to study some field of foreign missions. The series of studies continues through one semester. The leader is usually a member of the faculty. Certainly these studies have aroused an intelligent and growing interest in foreign missions and have also deepened the spiritual life of these students. SCIENCE CLUB The purpose of this organization is to stimulate interest in the achievements of science as applied to the social and industrial problems of the community and nation. Recent discoveries, industrial processes, problems of health, exhibits, demonstrations and reports contribute to the educational value of the programs. SVEA SOCIETY The interest of the students of Minnehaha Academy, who are of Swedish descent, in the perpetuation of the language of their ancestors has been evidenced not only by daily classes filled to capacity, but also by the organizing of a society known as the Svea Society. Through the programs rendered the members are made more closely acquainted with works of Swedish literature, music, and art. Membership in this organization has been limited to thirty. TAWASI CLUB In a day filled with books, lectures. and the constant use of the mind, there comes to some a desire to use their hands. In a world filled with many needs, is a need for things made by hand. The desire and the need meet in the Tawasi Club-a group of girls who come together to sew once every other week during the regular activities period. They plan not merely to sew; but to sew with a purpose. At present they are making small articles for the Covenant Childrenis Home at Princeton, Illinois. Thus there is a happy combination of recreation and usefulness. GIRLS GLEE CLL'B This organization is one of the most important activities at our school. Its purpose is to foster vocal talent and musical ability. There is no limit of membership as to number. Only students passing cer- tain vocal requirements are eligible.
