Sue Santuae The Home Economics Club, under the guidance of Miss Gruginskis, opened the school year with a candle-light initiation for new members. The membership has been limited to sixteen members instead of eighteen as it has been in previ- ous years. These members are chosen from the junior and senior classes. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to create a closer friendship and companionship among the girls and to stimulate interest in the art of home making. One of the year's numerous activities sponsored by the club was a Christmas party with games. gifts, and refreshments.
