The Art Club In November, 1913, Mr. Whitney invited any members of the school who were especially interested in art to join an art club which he was about to organize. Nearly thirty girls responded to the invitation, and all feel that they have profited greatly by the year's work under Mr. Whitney's leadership. During the winter the time was spent in studying the lives of the old masters and in making books in which to record the lives of the artists. Each member of the club gave a short talk upon one of the artists, and the rest incorporated these notes into their books. These books also contained two or three of the artist's best pictures. The books are tastefully bound in soft brown or gray leather, and show fine workmanship. In March, the Club was allowed to have an afternoon free in which to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Mr. Whitney's explanations and interpretations of the works of art were of great value to all those whoxwere able to go on the trip. The mem- bers have also had the opportunity to visit two exhibitions of the Boston Art Club. The Club will always remember the pleasant afternoon spent in Mr. Whitney's ho1ne,when the topic for discussion was home furnishings. In the spring a sketching trip was taken. It was impossible to go out of doors as much as desired because of the unfavorable weather. Some time also was devoted to spring nature work. The Club feels grateful to Mr. Whitney for the sacriice of his time, and appreciates the enthusiasm he puts into all he does for his students. H. L. There is a man from Danvers, Who lives in a bungalow, His work's supreme, While ours ltwould seem Is naught but a bungle-oh! 11

It is an honor to be a member of the club. The members are chosen by selection from sixty to seventy candidates of the Junior and Senior classes. Each girl chosen becomes a member for the remainder of her course. The number of new members is determined by the number of Seniors leaving the club each year. The work done by the club is vol- unteer work, and is done for the pleasure and profit gained-not the credit. In years past, the Glee Club has sung at several social functions in this city, and has always been much appreciated. The Glee Club takes an active part in the graduation exercises. The Glee Club gives a concert every year. In 1913 the Glee Club at Salem went to Framingham, where a joint concert was given. It was the Hrst time in the history of the normal schools of the state, that such a plan had been carried out. The club was royally entertained by the Framingham faculty and students. In the same year the club joined in helping the athletic association with its miustrel show. Since the joint concert in Framingham, both clubs have looked forward with pleas- ure to the concert this year. The Salem Club entertained the Framingham Club. The two schools were brought together in a closer relationship, which it is hoped may be con- tinued through the coming years. Several times during the year, the club has added to the enjoyment of the opening exercises of the school, and during the musical hour on Friday. The importance of such an organization cannot be overestimated. It brings the girls together in a close bond of friendship, thus it is a social power in our school. It also gives tu the school in general, enjoyment and the greater ability to appreciate the best music. The club and the Senior Class pay tribute to our supervisor, Mr. Archibald, whose new-r failing interest has made the years pleasant and profitable for us. E. B. C. 10

Spring Signs Come, hail the time with mirth and rhyme, For spring is here again! The robin now, on every bough, Chirps bravely through the rain. The white lambs gay all frisk and play, Among the pastures green. Beneath a tree, anemones Peep out to greet the scene. But birds may fail, and violet quail When breath of March blows on it, There's still one thing will tell of spring- The brand new Easter bonnet. K. A. A Popular Excuse We stood on the bridge for an hour, ln a stuffy electric car, We were blocked by something or other And Salem still was far. As we clung to our straps in that trolley, And glared at the seated men, llow we longed for the normal school! Should we ever sec it again? At last the ear was moving, I was so startled then That I stepped on the toe of my neighbor, And made him shout with pain. New I think of the many thousands, liaeh angry enough for ten, Who, blaming the ,Huy State Railway, Have been blocked on the bridge since then And forever, and forever, As long as the street ear goes, Students, who are late to their lessons, Will aseribe to the trolley their woes.
