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. A The officers of the Club are: President, Pauline Gressmang VicefPresident, Reve Collinsg Secretary, Olive Bonnetg Treasurer, Laura Lilga. Twentyfnine

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 ..... ......

COMMERCIAL CLUB Commercial Department The Commercial Department was Hrst installed five years ago under Miss Agnes Donnellan's guidance. The sea was rather rough at first but Miss Donnellan was a good mariner and each year the course became more attractive to students and now the department has grown to such an extent that three rooms are needed for its opera' tion. The aim of this department is to prepare pupils to do more eiliciently their life work. Miss Irma Brand and Miss Marjorie Slater are now conducting the courses in this department and they are to be commended on their success in their work. The Commercial Club After much discussion the Commercial Department has organized a club for pleasure, recreation and also for educational values. Plays, luncheons, and also talks by several prominent business men of Hamburg have added much interest to the meet' ings. The members of the Club have appreciated greatly the cooperation of the Comf mercial teachers. This is the club's first year but Hamburg High School may expect to hear from it many times in the future. QfDCM'JQfDC'Y9QZTJCS9 1 9 3 0 Q!5C'X9Q!5C'X9Q!BfX9 Thirty
