RTfa small word that signifies a good deal and assuredly does its bit in brightening the drab existence of humanity. Realizing that Central students are a part of this humanity. the Art club has striven. since the year of its birth in IQIQ. for a fuller appreciation of every-day art. It is difiie cult for a small group to accomplish this. especially among high school students. because they have so little time in which to develop an appreciation of art. This year. however. the club feels that it has succeeded somewhat in attracting the attention and the artistic sense of the student body by carrying out an unusual program, namely the painting of a landscape on the back wall of the stage. The entire club took part in all phases of the project, sponsored by Mrs. Estella Burrell. supervisor of the Fine Arts Department in the Lima schools. At its completion the painting was presented to the school during an assembly. and. judging by the oh's and ah's , the undertaking was a great success. The remainder of the year was spent with each individual working in whatever line he chose. In the spring, an outdoor meeting was enjoyed for the purpose of sketching, The club feels that it has completed an altogether successful year. -Jt'i.mNNE BUSSERT fine hundred tttcntu one

EING a comparative new organization tonly two years oldj, we feel sure there are many students who are unaware of the fine work that the Home Economics club is accomplishing. Its main purpose-to aid the city in public welfare work-is certainly an excellent one. As the club's first welfare project. the girls gave their time and energy to help the Christmas Mother. They made a large number of cunning rag dolls. which certainly brought delight to many a poor child on Christmas day, fRemernber when one of the downtown stores displayed all those cute dolls of every conceivable size, shape, and color? Perhaps you didn't know they were the handiwork of our own Home Economics club.j The girls also gave their aid to the Red Cross making not only women's and children's dresses, but men's shirts as well. In doing all these things, the girls gained very valuable experience by which. they will always profit. After the problem of caring for needy families was satisfactorily com- pleted, the club members, seeking something both interesting and educational, visited the various factories and manufacturing plants in Lima. Under Miss Phyllis lVlendenhall's able supervision, the club has made great progress this year. lts scope is a wide one, and the girls do every phase of it very capably. aMAR.JoR1E ZIMMERMANN one hundred zruenrg

Educational Guidance Club COYITA ARMSTRONG -------- President MARY Lou MURPHY Vice President HELEN MILLER - - Secretary PAUL RIEBESELL - - - - - Treasurer Boys and girls studying the vital problem of higher education . . . asking all sorts of questions about all sorts of colleges . . . studying catalogues, giving reports, encouraging discussion and questions . . . speakers showing the advantages one kind of college has over another . . . pointing out the disadvantages of some other institution . . . boys and girls receiving badly needed and much appreciated comments and suggestions . . . that's the Educational Guidance Club! O give the students a better and more detailed knowledge of the various colleges and universities in the United States, and to cultivate a better understanding of college life in general-that is the purpose of the Edu- cational Guidance club. organized four years ago as the Pre-College club. Under the able supervision of J. G. Crites. the club accomplishes its purpose by studying college catalogues to obtain accurate and up-to-date information concerning the many colleges. The students also discuss many questions pertaining to college life. such as the advantages or disadvantages of a large school over a small one. of a fraternal school over a non-fraternal one. or of a state school over a private one. Many similar questions concerning cost. opportunities, and college life in general are discussed. At various meetings. outside speakers have given the members many helpful talks and suggestions upon some phase of this all-important question of higher education. Information obtained by one member is reported to the club as a whole. Each student is given a chance to ask any question concerning the college in which he is interested. Although the membership is not very large, we hope that it will greatly increase in the future. for the matter of choosing a college is one in which practically every pupil is interested. -Coi'1TA ARMSTRONG nm hundred lulvriitl - 1 wo
