Each girl drew a name of another girl who was to be her Heart Sister. Humorous letters and letters of advice were deposited in the mail box located in the Home Ee room. At noon or after school the girls paraded to the post office for the latest developments from their unknown correspondent. Gifts were exchanged at the end of the week and the names of the Heart Sisters were divulged. P A Although the main purpose of the club was for enter- tainment, several educational projects were undertak.en and successfully carried out. One of these was the rais- ing of money to finance a trip to Brookings to take part in the Smith-Hughes Contest. This was done by the sale of gum and candy at basketball and football games. Bonnelle Jewell and Emma Preslicka, with Marion Soesbe as alternate, were delegates to the contest. Miss Volby, Home Ee instruc tor and F. H. A. advisor, accompanied the girls.
