German Club The German Club, organized by Mr. Buchterkirchen, head of the German def partment of Hamburg High School, has been a great success this year. It has been much more active than in former years. Meetings are usually held twice a month, one being purely a business meeting and the other a social meeting. This instills much en' thusiasm in the club stimulates the desire for membership. Several months ago a picnic was held at Chestnut Ridge Park and later, a Christmas party in the Homemaking Cottage. Mr. Buchterkirchen also gave a lecf ture and showed pictures on Germany, both of which were very instructive as well as interesting. German is always spoken as much as possible at the meetings. The chief objects of this club are to interest the students in taking German as a study and also to make the students, now studying it, more fully appreciate it. Great' er comradeship is also formed among the students of the Junior and Senior High Schools. The ofhcers are: President .......... ............... J OHN CLARK VicefPresidem ..... ......

The Latin Department has made much progress under the capable direction of Miss Charlotte Calkins. Many new things have been added to the course. Simplified Latin plays, myths and short stories have been read in the first year. Outside reading concerning the history of the Romans has also been added. Miss Fidelia Warburton is the able instructor of French. The French I class has read Collette et ses Freresv. The French II class has a group of plays, L'Abbe Constantin by Halevy. The French HI class has accumulated a considerable knowlf edge of worldly aifairs and modern vocabulary by reading Le Petit Journal , a most interesting paper. Many new and interesting novels have been added to the library under the French shelf. Mr. Eric Buchterkirchen has done much for the success of the German depart' ment.

What a world of meaning that word conveys! Each person has a different conception of it, but all agree that home is a source of inspiration, a haven of rest and love, where worthwhile characteristics are cultivated. The Homemaking Department in training our girls to become ideal homemakers, is undertaking a diff ficult task, but it is succeeding admirably. Junior High School girls under the supervision of Miss Lehley are taught, among other things, the essentials of meal planning and how to serve attractively what they have cooked. The Senior High School girls under the able direction of Mrs. Anderf son have been studying household equipment, budgetfmaking and family incomes. In Cctober they had the privilege of having a cooking school at Fish and Kronenberg's store, and they have also been making an extensive study of wearing apparel. In Feb' ruary this department gave a faculty tea, This year an advisory board, comprising five Hamburg women, was formed. This board greatly aided both Mrs. Anderson and Miss Lehley. The Homemaking Club, formed to further the interests of girls in Homemaking, has accomplished its purpose. In December, the club held a Christmas candy and cookie sale. With the proceeds from the sale, they bought an attractive floor lamp for the cottage.
