KUM BOSS CLUB

THE ARGONAUT MCMXVH The Dressmakers' Club. THE Dressmakers' Club was organized in 1919 in order that the members of the advanced sewing class might increase their ability in dressmaking in as many ways as possible. This year be- cause of the increased number in our class we found it impossible to organize as early as in the previous year. I The purpose of the club is to gain a broader knowledge of sew' ing along various lines such as the process of manufacture and com- paritive durability of diH'erent fabrics, the origin and development of typical fashions, the fabrics best adapted to different garments and different styles of gowns. As we met to discuss these top- ics, ideas and suggestions were exchanged much to the benifit of all. Through this we were brought into closer social relationship which in the future will yield an added pleasure as we recall the struggle and triumph of the sewing room. It has helped to a- rouse enthusiasm and unity, and we have found encouragement in relating our mutual endeavors. In recalling our high school days the meetings of the Dress- makers' Club will be remembered as being our most enjoyable and most profitable experiences.

--THEAPSGQN5U.T,MQlYlZ4YlL , The Kum Boss Klub T THE Kum Boss Klub was started in the latter part of 1915 ' under the leadership of Mr. Amos. Fred Trestrail was elected president. As the club, was organized so late in the year, it was discontinued until the following year. when Victor Holland was elected president, and it was again taken up with fair success. ' - This club was organized for the purpose of making better farmers in the community, and to help explain problems that could not be taken up in the school work. One of the aims, for instance, is that each one perform some project during the- year, It may be a flock of hens, or a small garden. Another reason for starting the club was to bring the beginning and. advanced classes together, and to help the members to think for themselves more and to be able to know how to talk on agriculturalsubjects. The first project, which has been taken upby the class, as a whole, was the operation of a incubator. The classes also plant- ed fourteen bushels of potatoes on the school plot, as well as a number of other crops, at which every member worked hard to make it a success. ' f Some people think that Dickinson County is a mining and lumbering district, with both occupations nearly run down, and with nothing else in sight, They would be surprised if they would get out and see the-amount of clover, oats and potatoes that can be raised on one acre compared with other farming dis- tricts, They donot seem to realize that Dickinson County is a part of Cloverland , and that there is a great chance for suc- cess here. l Arise ye men of farming blood, And stealthe chance while it is good.
