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

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

ALBERT GAIR - - - - President KATHRYN ZIMMERMAN Secretary-Treasurer The Model Aeroplane Club was founded in 1930 by Mr. Stoner ,atlthe request of a number of students particularly interested in the subject of aviation. The purpose of the club was to awaken and develop a further interest in aviation: to give the members an understanding of aeronautical principles and to acquaint them with the history and development of aviation. including the present status of the aeroplane and its possible future. The activities of the club have been interesting. Talks and reports on early attempts at flying have been given and the contributions made by these attempts. Further, discussions of the principles of sustained flight. airdromes. rudder. wings, and under-carriage. and the construction of an aeroplane: main- tenance of the aeroplane: repairs: the aeroplane in peace and in war: commercial and mail possibilities have been given. Records in aviation and stories of flying by local fliers have been noted: study from photographs and illustrations has been instructive: use of magazines on aviation, air service, and popular mechanics has stimulated interest and given constructive ideas. As a practical project the members of the club have made models of different types of planes. These were tested. and the two best of them was put on display. Thus through the splendid guidance of Mr. Stoner as supervisor, the theoretical and practical results have been brought together with the effect that each member has increased his interest and knowledge in this subject. one hundred mne
