THE WHlTE FRTARS This is an exclusively girls' club, for those girls who are trying to become wise by simply reading books. Since the members have read all the classics and all other approved pieces of literature, they devote their time to modern novels, biographies, and works of like nature. Partly because popular fiction is so agreeable to the public that it is almost impossible to secure at the library, and partly because this club wishes to be remem- bered as a worthy one, books are bought with the club's money, circulated around among the members, and then donated at the end of the year to the school library, for other aspiring students to ponder over. The books purchased by the club this year were: John Br0wn's Body, by Stephen Vincent Benetg The Bishop llurder Case, by S. S. Van Dine: Peder Victoriousfl by O. E. Rolvaag, Accident, by Arnold Bennett, and Hlleet General Grant, by W. E. YVoodward. The club was resurrected from the ruins of the former Quill club, and Bliss Anne Coleman was convinced that she should take the helm. lts principal organizer, Jessie lNIcClellan, was also the president. Jane Loomis was secretary-treasurer. These officers were elected for the whole year. The members, after discussing the above books at length, declare that they have become infinitely wiser. The members are: Della Birch, Louise Kimball, Eunice Bogue, Jane Loomis, Dona Swift, Dorotha Carter, Eleanor Byarlay, Dana Branden- berg, Jessie lXIcClellan, Janice Potter, Leoma Richardson, and Elizabeth Thomas.

Aw, com' on. VVe're gon'a have weenies 'n everything, Say, why don't you join our club ? Who's president P Leota Ray is president for the second semester. Berdeen Hanson is vice-presi- dent, Jeanette Ray is secretary, and Elizabeth Hathaway is treasurer. Sounds swell. Sure, 'I'll go! Health for Happiness is the motto of the girls who are members of this club and who have the ability to be a good sport on all occasions. Skating parties were held and a week-end party at one of the lake was the main go of the year. Lessons in camp cooking, which were given during the winter were tried with much zeal and expectation. Mrs. Agnes Corbin started the club in 1925. Miss Hazel Jones is now the advisor. With Berdeen Hanson as presidentg Ruth Richards, vice-presidentg Leota Ray, secretary, and Jeanette Ray, treasurer, the club struggled triumphantly through the first semester and also managed its affairs successfully under new officers the last half of the year.

HOUSEHOLD ARTS The Household Arts club is made up of industrious young people striving earn- estly to become model young housewives. Every second and fourth Thursday, they start out to take in a style show, to learn the latest fashions, or to visit a bread company to learn the secrets of making bread. They study the intricacies of pie- making in order to make the kind mother used to bake . They have talks on mono- gram embroidery so that no guests will be able to walk off with their towels. They learn to bake biscuits, not the kind that are the reason why men leave home. Last year, the society became affiliated with the National Home Economics Asso- ciation, so now they get the latest wrinkles in handkerchiefs and other accessories. Bliss Lotta Lower, who directs the girls of Central in darning stockings, sewing seams, and such useful arts, is advisor. The officers chosen for the year, are: Donavieve lllonroe, presidentg Leone Fred- erick, vice-presidentg Ruth NIcDermott, treasurer, and Leona Teachout, secretary. The first semester the club wasn't very active, but the second semester, fearing they were dropping behind times, the girls held a conference and decided to reorganize. Pugff One Humirrd Fourlrrn
