Nil! ! or 'H I-GH Q 3-eva-1-'r S X xxx ' X 'The fihrt ililub WE, THE Mnmnaas or 'rx-us ART CLUB, are very grateful to Miss Srygley, our conductor, for an en' joyable time this term in her hobby. At the beginning of the term we elected a President and Secretary. The President is Hilda Vaughn and the Secretary is jack Parkhurst. Some of the pupils have taken an interest in soapfcarving and some of them have shown excellent skill in the work. Others have made posters and calendars. In spite of a few hindrances, we feel that our hobby has been a success. - 1 Y 1 Thysical llfxercise Tms TERM IN Miss GROSSMANlS Hoxaav of Physical Education we did many interesting things. On rainy days games were played inside and on pretty days they were played outside. Each week two girls were assigned to get up games for the following play day. On hobby days exercises were taken downstairs. Lately broom handles have been brought for different types of exercises. We were taught to march and drill with them. We all have a very good time and hope to be in Miss Grossman's hobby next term. Elsie andlcerchief flilub WHO HAS Nor THE PLEASANT Mamoiuss of the fair little girl who sat under a tree sewing as long as her eyes could see? The stories of chivalry would lose a part of their charm if from them the fair ladies working bright figures in tapestry were to be removed and sewing machines put in place of needles. Fancy work like any other craft becomes a pleasure only through practice until some degree of skill is attained, Then one's work may be beautiful as well as useful. Knowing that skill will increase as you proceed and that pleasure in what you are doing will grow with visible results, Highland Heights set about to organize a club that would introduce some simple elements of fancy work--namely, the Handkerchief Club. ' This club, sponsored by Miss Lillian Bean, was organized last year and now has twentyfseven members. Each girl made three or more handkerchiefs during the term. Some very simple designs were used, while others were more elaborate, featuring the modern designs. In addition to the handkerchiefs, some of the girls found pleasure in making such things as buffet sets, towels and other articles. The interest of this club continued to grow as was manifested by the work done and the inf terest taken in the Girls' Hobby Fair. The girls made about forty entries including their handkerf chiefs and other pieces of fancy work. Certainly it is better to spend one's time in producing useful and beautiful things for the en' joyment of one's self and one's friends than to waste it in frivolous amusement. We feel that we have spent a very pleasant and profitable year and invite all girls of Highland Heights who are interested in needlecraft to be numbered with our group next year. Page Twenty Three

QMIMZ 'H Q flair-ella-1-'r S xi f x The Safety 'Council DUMNG THE msr SCHOOL YEAR the Safety Council of Highland Heights has endeavored to keep the importance of safety before the school body in every possible way. Under the efficient leader' ship of Robert Leonard, Captain, and Berdenia Thomas, President, the patrol and the various committees have attended faithfully to their duties. Dangerous conditions about the building and grounds have been inspected and remedied, the bulletin and slogan boards have kept constant warn' ings and reminders before the eyes of the pupilsg reports of accidents have been made, and lessons drawn from them have been impressed on the members of the councilx in their business meetings. The patrol, as in the past, has maintained a high standard of duty and has contributed greatly to the order of the school both during the daily routine and occasional outside activities. Recreaf tion has not been neglected, and games, contests, and programs have enlivened the social meetings. None of the work of the Safety Council could succeed without the hearty coeoperation of the school body, and its officers wish to express their appreciation of the support of the faculty and students during the term.
