Once a boy becomes a member, he con- tinues to be in the club as long as he attends school here, and he is expected to create and maintain desirable traditions among his classmates. One of the formal meetings held this year was a dinner at which Mr. Wellwood was (he host. The Commanderins The Commanderins was organized in 1930 by Miss Grace Pinel, Dean of Girls, and is composed of the highest ranking girl leaders of the school, the officers of each class, the highest ranking journalists on the Arrow Head and Prospectus, and the pres- idents of the three all girl clubs. This honorary society elects no officers and there is no set date for the meetings. The purpose of the organization is to affil- iate the girl leaders of the school, to discuss problems and regulations of the school with the administration and to create and main- tain desirable traditions.

Formed in the fall of 1938 by Mr. Thomas Davie, the Crease Paint Club immediately became a necessary organ- ization in the extra curricular activities of the school. Be- cause it requires time to learn to apply stage make-up properly, sophomores are the only students eligible as new members. The members learn the art of make-up primarily by ex- perimenting upon each other but their skwill is also aug- mented when they make up the casts for all of the school plays and Flint Civic Opera productions.

Thdlian Literdry Society The Thalian Honorary Literary Society during 1940-41 was divided into three groups dealing with the fine arts: literature, music and sculp- ture. Each group had charge of several meetings during the year. A basket to a needy family was a Thanksgiving project, while Christmas saw the girls spreading cheer into many lonely hearts by a program at the McFarlan Home for elderly ladies. The annual “Open Door,” re- viewing the year’s activities, was held in May. The officers presiding for the year were: president. Louinia Mae McKinley; vice president, Janet Munson: secretaries, Mary Shattuck and Barbara Harris; treasurer, Johanna Peukert. The Forum Club One of the most intensely interesting clubs in Central during 1940-41, was the Forum Club under the direction of Miss Mildred Hodges. The main project of Forum was to make a scientific and comprehensive study of Flint and its problems. Committees, appointed to plan the program of each meeting, made the arrangements concerning speakers, and there was scarcely a gathering at which there was not a prominent speaker. The officers, who fulfilled their duties admirably, were Marion For- rester, president; Beth Tillier and Lavonda Wallace, secretarys.
