as 2' ,4. ww ..,V- Sci1ol.c1Uslftip Society HE first semester's banquet of the Scholarship Society, was held at the Club California this year, and was attended by over ninety-eight persons. The decorations were carried out in the Schorlarship colors, pink and green. Water lilies held pink sweet peas and maiden hair fern while pink and gold butterflies were scattered here and there. The place cards were very original-a wise old owl with gold eyes sat within a golden figure HS . Although the new form of earning points is much stricter, we have just as many members as we ever had. Thirty pirs have been sold already to students who have been members three semesters. An artistic list of names of scholarship members has been made in the Art De- partment and placed in a beautiful frame presented by the Hamilton P.-T. A. This hangs in the hall opposite the library door. Each semester they will be changed for the new membership, and stars added to in- dicate the number of times a student has been a member. We feel very proud of this list. In February we sent seventeen scholar- ship members to Poly High. Among the other Junior Highs of the city we rank high in scholarship. At our last meeting J. B. Stone was succeed as representative to the Federation Council by Josephine Hayter. quette for high school students. Although the club has been organized only two semesters, it has a roll of one hundred and twenty' members. The Christ- mas doll show, the lawn party, and the essay contest have been the most inter- esting events of the year.

Our first project this year was the mak- ing of satin sweet peas, gauze and metal ribbon flowers. Many pretty bunches were made which served for pratical gifts. . Mrs. Lyons has helped the seventh grade girls organize a Handicraft club. She first taught them to make bouquets of flowers fiom silk ribbon: then they painted dresser sets, and then made pocket books of yarn. Last Febuary they had a surprise party which everyone enjoyed very much. All the girls are hoping to have this Handicraft club next year. We next tied and dyed silk scarfs and handkerchiefs. This proved to be very in- teresting work. Our next project was the making of felt pocket-books and little bunches of flowers to match. We then be- gan to work with wax, making wax beads and doing some plaques. One of our last projects was the making of nut cups and favors which aided us verv much in our farewell party at Bixby Park. The color scheme was carried out in pastel shades. The dainty nut cups and favors made it a pretty and impressive scene UKE CLUB P Despite the windy weather on April 3 a Beach Party was held forthe visiting principals in front of the Belmont Beach Club. There were twenty-five campfires along the beach and each campfire had a host and hostess. The refreshments were served at the capmfires. Entertainers passed from campfire to campfire and performed for the guest. Among these entertainers were members of our Uke Club. After the refreshments the principals were ushered into the dancing pavilion of the Beach Club: herea program The Spclirttslft Club MONG the various clubs at Hamil- ton the Sqanish Club was perhaps tne most appreciateb. The club was composed Of about eleven girls and one boy. The officers are as follows: president Roberta Packmeng secretary, Margaret Thompson: treasurer. Dorothy Kellyglibrar. ian, John Smith: typist, Katheryn Leevers. During the semester we had two very interesting speakers. The object of the meeting was to make imaginary visits to the different Spanish speaking countries. It was voted upon and decided that we should start with Spain. There was a speech' made by one of the inembers at each meeting on one of the points of interest in the country which we ivere studying. The club should be very interesting to the Spanish students because they can learn rnoreeabout the country which they are studying. +52 TRAVEL CLUB l The Travel Club is a club of 15 mem- bers, boys and girls, and it is sponsored by lVIr.
