The Fellowship Club was organized in September. 1926, by a group of girls who felt the need of such an organization in the College. Its purpose is to lead the girls of Teachers College to a higher recognition of the spiritual values of life. One of the most outstanding achievements of the club this year was the adoption of a poor family. At Thanksgiving a dinner was furnished and at Christmas the family was supplied with clothing, food and toys for the children. W'hat is Christmas without a tree F asked one of the girls. Hence a Christmas tree and decorations were duly added to the other gifts. The theme of the programs this year was, Personal Enrichment through the Beauties of Art, Literature. Music and Nature.

Teachers Club Fosters Professional Spirit Among Students The Teachers Club is the professional organi- zation of the college. Its aim is two-fold, professional and social. The professional aim is accomplished through the offering of opportunities for development of the qualities essential for a successful teacher. These qualities-cooperation. leadership and personality -are developed through taking part in the various club activities not only in a social line, but also through con- tributing to club programs. The Teachers College Club also contributes to the formation of a professional code of ethics by setting up high standards of conduct for its members, and by securing as speakers different people prominent in educational circles. The social aim is carried out by the holding of carefully planned and organized social functions during the year. Early this year a tea was given in honor of the mothers of the LUCY CLOUSER students of Teachers College. Over one hundred Edufdfivlv mothers attended this tea which was held in the music room beautifully decorated for the occasion. Later in the year a delightful Valen- tine Party where Love's Policeman reigned supreme, was arranged for the student body. Since the Teachers College Club is the mother club for the departmental clubs of the school, the departmental clubs furnish the programs part of the time. Plays were presented in club programs which portrayed different types of schools or stages in educational development. These plays sometimes pictured the education of different peoples, the theories of famous educators. or the stages in the develop- ment of American education. The Teachers Club is an all school organization and this year practically all students were members. It is the only professional organization in the school and as such exerts a tremendous induence. - I gf l25Ll '
