This plan proved very successful and by all means should be continued next year. CLUBS, OBGANTZED THIS, PAST ,YEAH , The 4-H Clubs have gotten the best start of the new or- ganizations. Under the presidency of Coy Durham the boys have be- gun work on the study of farming products and planting crops. The girls with Louise Crawford as president,have been studying health this past year. Next year with the new equipment in the Home Ec- onomics Room, the 4-H Club girls plan to learn to cook and sew. For those interes ed in Speech and Dramatic Art, Mrs. Schinhan offered direction in a special course. Mrs. Breckenridge started a club for the girls who were interested in learning how to knit. Mrs. Adams was head of the Handicraft Club that was open only to boys. This organization in- cluded instruction in weaving, making pottery, and wood-carving. ,Mrs. Swalin started an Art Club for boys and girls in- terested in painting and drawing. Although this club had only a few beginners, it promises to be an important outside activity for next year beacuse the school has already purchased some ren prints of famous paintings to start an art collection. The Sports Club with James Hearn at the head has used its regular meeting period as one in which to either learn or play various games that the school equipment offers. .fiT.Pl,lfl'T I C?
