i Many of the future business women who grad- uated from this school received much of their know how from the RETAILERS CLUB. This club was sponsored by Mrs. Stanitis until she joined the Edison High School teaching staff. Then the charming Mrs. Young headed the group. In this club the girls got a head start in many business proceedings. They were able to put forth their knowledge of salesmanship and store management, which proved invaluable to them later on in the business world. RETAI LERS CLUB l Belowi Row l: F. Donato, N.

.Z cgzfzitcfz in time Teacher, please help me thread my needle , or Is this how you measure a half-teaspoon, teacher? Having a ten year old girl look up at you and say those words, or ones like them was probably hard for most Davisites to imagine. But to the forty-three girls of the GI RL'S CLUB VOL- UNTEERS it was all in a day's work. Of course at first when someone called them teacher it was a little strange. But after a very few weeks, those girls, who each spent one after- noon a week at the Girls' Club, began to feel al- most like teachers land found themselves liking the feeling, tool. Besides cooking and sewing, the girls also had dancing, library, drawing, and music groups. They played the piano, and helped make pot-holders and the like, out of seemingly useless scraps. They mended wounded rag-dolls, and often a mild case of wounded feelings. They dropped helpful hints on how to do the newest rumba steps, and also how to keep cramped kitchens neat and clean. And when an irate youngster came running up exclaiming that Mary's trying to do all the work herself, teacher, well, to one of the Girls' Club Volun- teers, it was all in a day's work.

Besides discussing them they gave a practical demonstration in the form of a tea, and also sponsored a school-wide fashion show of clothes the girls had made themselves. As for the results of all this activity-well, of course some of them were noticeable right away, but for the long range ones we just had to wait until the Future I-Iomemakers really became the homemakers of future America.
