This object was achieved principally through reports given by members of the club and by addresses by faculty members or people experienced in related fields such as beauty operators, nurses, and business people. Organized this year, the club immediately became immensely popular with girls of all classes and soon boasted a membership of seventy-five. Meetings were held bi-weekly on 'Fliursclays at the activities period. In addition, the club's two social functions were a great success, the one a Christmas party on December 16, the other a gala Valentine dance which made a hit with the students because it was a bit different, The club treasury was boosted by coca cola sales at a basketball game and by hat check- ing during the Sectional. One of the purposes for which the funds were used was to buy a rug for the Home Ec dining room. Programs all year were in charge of a committee: Alma Krodel, Margie Miller, Lois Beuchler, and Patricia Luegers. A.-M.. ,wma .air I .-
