In its early stages, the club consisted of five membersg namely, Donald Bender, Henry Wester- velt, Donald Erskine, Joseph Gentile, and Richard Colburn. The club did not maintain any strict routine and its meetings were most informal. Since its earliest days its membership has constantly changed. During the winter months, little model airplane activity was possibleg however, some mod- els were completed in the shop and others were built by members in their homes. As the spring passed and the sunny, dry days came more and more frequently, the interest in model airplane building grew until, at present, the club consists of a rather indefinite number of people who tum up whenever they can to talk about models and to build new planes. Most of the construction work is now done at home, but the club is sure to hear the news when one of its mem- bers succeeds in breaking some records in place of merely breaking his model airplane. At times during the school year other activities interfered with the schedules of the Airplane Club to such an extent as to make meeting impossible and interest in the club was reduced. The re- awakening of interest in recent months is very heartening, with more fellows starting on model work. In the face of this new interest, it seems that the Airplane Club will grow and receive the back- ing of the students as have all other school activi- ties. Secretary: Donald Bender. E291

The club has had two leaders, first, Miss Margaret Barnum and now Miss Marion Strong. Wie have had a very active and interesting year. The club went up to Dover on Play Day and had a very enjoyable time getting acquainted with other girls from other Girl Reserve Clubs and playing games. Another of our activities was a very suc- cessful cake sale, the profits of which were used for a trip to New York where the girls attended a broadcast. On May 3 a group of girls went to Dover for the annual Girl Reserve Conference. The girls stayed at the homes of Dover residents for a week-end. On Friday evening there was a banquet and on Satur- day a play was given for the guests of the Confer- ence All the girls enjoyed their visit and are look- ing forward to a week-end at Camp, an occasion which is also annual. On May 18 the girls took a bicycle hike out to Pat Falleris home where they had a 'hot dogi' roast. The appetites were hearty and everyone had a lot of good fun. Last Christmas Eve the girls sang Christmas carols under Betty Peuker's win- dow and took her small gifts. The members later exchanged gifts among themselves. We have also gone swimming at the Morristown Y. M. C. A. Our year has been very full and we are looking forward to doing many things together again next year. Back R Whitfield, A. Reilly.
