They are especially interested in the present as well as the past. Each member is held responsible for some news each meeting. The news is ob' tained from newspapers, current magazines and such radio reporters as Edwin C. Hill and Lowell Thomas. The group has made remarkable improvement. It was difficult at first to make the news interesting and to get everyone to take part, but after each meeting we have felt encouraged. I The Craftsman Club This club specializes mostly in the construction of aircraft models. These models are small reproductions of regular size planes and make us acquainted with the different types and their construction. The club has shown more interest this term than last. Several models of early locomotives and ships have been made. Eugene Allen a mem' ber of our club has been chosen as the junior contestant in the Napoleonic Coach building and is now working on his model. o Nature Study Club There are thirty girls in the Nature Study Club. They meet each Thursday with Miss Fanning as sponsor. The officers are Thelma Sweeney, president, Ruth Dodson, secretary and treasurer. At each meeting we have an interesting nature study contest with a small prize. Each member selected a hobby of collecting some kind nature material as rocks, plants, etc. Some periods have been devoted to field trips on the campus, identifying plants. Occasionally we have had social hours as an Easter egg hunt, the Friday before Easter. We have sponsored an Iris program and have planned a hike or picnic before school is out. Q The Shorthand Club A minimum number of boys and girls were organized into a shorthand club. This was done so that each student might have some individual attention. The Gregg system was used. Words were dictated from the manual. These were placed in a notebook for study. Short sentences were then made from these. Since the club has met only once a week not a great deal has been accomplished. Tug? Scvc11fz-mr
