W1c.xv1sR, '16, ln March, 1912, the ladies of Anderson had reached the stage where they could see the need of an improvement club to promote the welfare of the town. A club was then organized under the name of the Anderson VVomen's Improvement Club. A great deal of work was accomplished during their first year. A grand ball was given soon after their organization and the proceeds given to the 'Park Fund as a start in parking each side of the railroad track. ln October, a tag day was given to raise funds to help build the wire fence around the 'High School. The second year proved a busy one. Under the supervision of the club, the Herd Law was enforced, thus getting the stock olif the streets. The High School was given financial help toward obtaining their commencement speaker. .Every year an annual clean-up day is held by the club to help beautify the town. .-Xs the third year was reached, street signs were made and unnamed streets received names. A donation was given toward the erection of a town drinking fountain. ln Qlune 1914 the High School commencement speaker, the trustees and principal were entertained by a dinner given by the club.
