A horticulturist in no small measure, Mr. Roesler won several prizes in the Gary Flower Show last fall. He is the only man in Gary who has been able to cultivate rhododendrons .... Mrs. Sheehan has done some fine oil paintings which are now at her mother’s home .... We wonder when Mr. Johnson sleeps. He works far into the night composing the symphonies our orchestra introduces .... Over sixty costume dolls comprise Miss Winter’s collection, gathered during her travels in many countries.

CHEMISTRY CLUB Who has not heard of the Chemistry Club? It springs to active life several times a year. The first event is the resurrection of officers from the club of the preceding year. Present leaders include President—Blaz Lucas, Vice-president—Dorothy Davies, Secretary—Madeline Scully, and Treas¬ urer—Robert McGhee. The worthwhile event, however, which justifies the existence of the club occurs at Christmas. Then all sorts of offerings are piled high in the chemistry room. Flour, sugar, canned goods and other foodstuffs mantle the desks; caps, sweaters and stockings drape the chairs; toys are scattered about the floor. On Christmas Eve, members of the club play Goodfellow and deliver these contributions, carefully stowed in baskets, to several needy families. There are very few hours that Mr. Holliday does not spend working problems in calculus .... A holiday and a fishing rod (with the possibility of a few fish) would please Mr. Whiteman beyond words .... Mrs. Suley is interested in house planning, and has very definite ideas concerning the house she would choose.
