Reports were given by the members on hospital training and charitable organizations, This year, reports were given on women in business and industry. The members helped to make the costumes for the Junior High Operetta, and later used the scraps to make a patch-work quilt which was given to a poor family. Several times during the year field trips were taken to Hwindow-shop for the trend of modern styles. This year, the Home Economics Club was again under the supervision of Miss Mendenhall, to whom much credit should be given for maintaining such a worthy organization, we hope that the club will continue its good work in the years to come. one hundred .stun

The work of this club gives those pupils interested in the how and where to go to college. There are so many different colleges and universities that it is diflicult to choose. There is not an abundant fund of available material about them. either. so the information seeker is driven to statistical reference books, or to college catalogues. which may not be well understood, But in the club, every effort is made to acquaint the prospective college student with the advantages and the disadvantages of going to college: suggesting the types of boys and girls who are likely to benefit by it, and those who are not: stating clearly what the new admission requirements and methods are: and giving enough information about individual colleges to enable parents and students to make a preliminary choice of a few of them for further investigations. Aside from the systematic study during the club periods. the meetings have been varied on different occasions by speakers who have talked upon some vital phase of the question. Because the question of going to college is a popular one, the membership has grown very much, and Mr. Crites. the advisor, has done much to keep up the interest manifested. me humlrei! six

It was organized for students who are interested in plant and animal life. During club periods, the members have had the opportunity for more extended observation. comparison. and explanation into those functions which are common to both plant and animal life. into the way in which organisms live, and their dependence upon one another and upon the physical world. In this way, fascinating facts and relations of biology are discovered. Also, attention was given to human biology and public health. The discussion of food and dietetics added something of a practical nature to the things considered. Further, a study of bacteria and its relations to plant, animal, and human life was given further attention than is possible in the regular class periods. Through the helpful guidance of Miss Linnell the members have felt that the work of the club has been decidedly beneficial. om hundred eight
