morning in the grafting of cacti, geraniums, ami lilacs. At 7:30 a. m. club members begin to assemble for work on their hobbies. After school, from 2:30 to 5 :00 p. m.. the laboratory ami gardens arc alive with interesting experi- ments. The plant project has now coordinated with the Art Department by furnishing plants for art sketches and has provided the Homemak- ing Department with vegetable products for lessons in canning and preserving. Each year geraniums have been raised as a group project for annual Decoration Day planting. An outgrowth of community interest in gardening, kept alive, at least, by pupil club work has fostered the formation of a new adult Lake Shore Garden Club this spring. With the equipment provided and through the sales of plants, flowers, and seedlings by the Hortus Club, the plant laboratory has become nearly self-supporting. Furthermore, the science teacher in charge is giving gener- ously of his leisure time to promote the object- ives of our work. It is because of bis unsel- fish devotion to the interests of the club that success has resulted. .. ., Dorothea kookus The Craft Guild For many years excellent work in the academic and commercial courses lias been given special recognition, but none lias l»eeii given to the art and technical courses. In the academic course there arc the French and Latin honor societies, and in the commercial course, the Commercial Honor Society. There is now being formed a craft guild for the technical ami art groups. The plan of the craft guild is to let a 1h v work two terms as an apprentice, after which he liecomes a journeyman. While he is a journeyman he is allowed to submit a project to the guild. If the project ] asses inspection it is placed in the guild and the lmy becomes a master craftsman.
