Home Economics Club In 1939 the club was organized for the ninth year which has proved to be a very successful one. We have more members than in any previous year, one- hundred and fifteen. Because of the large number in the club, it was necessary to have two pictures taken. The meetings are held on the second Monday of each month. The main purpose of the club is to create fellowship among its members, and to get the girls interested in Home Economics. The officers are: Ruth Briegel - President Margaret Kieft Vice-President Ruth Kraeger - - Secretary Phyllis Rescorla ----- Treasurer Activities of the Year .. A potluck supper in October marked the first meeting of the club. At our November meeting the new members were initiated. At this meeting, we collected several baskets of food, which were distributed to those in need. In December, we had a Christmas party. We collected baskets of food and toys in order that we might do our share to help everyone have a Merry Christmas. The January meeting, we enjoyed an old-fashioned sleigh-ride. In February some very inter- esting movies of Grand Haven were shown. On March 9, the club sponsored a leap-year dance. The girls asked the boys, called for them, paid their way, did the cutting in while dancing, and even furnished the cars. A good time was had by all, especially the boys. In April a hard times party was held. We concluded our program for the year with a skating party in May.

Speech Club The Speech Club is composed of students interested in the speaking arts or any work connected with a stage performance. The meetings were held every third Tuesday night. A Christmas play, The Uninvited Guest, was presented by eight members of the club at the December meeting. Edna Mary Jacobson entertained the club at her home where we listened to the Town Meeting of the Air. The Speech Club put on a skit entitled Who Murdered Mr. Classical Music? at the Musical Revue held February 26. It was a comedy and proved to be a great source of entertainment. This was the only outside activity par- ticipated in by the club.
