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

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

The programs. which are filled to the brim with enjoyable. educational subjects. included talks by business men on valuable topics such as banking. modern office machines and equipment, and business relations. Club members and teachers provided added interest to the programs with plays. music. selling skits. office calling. telephoning. and contests in typewriting. shorthand. spell' ing. and commercial arithmetic, An outstanding feature of the year was the club's annual party, which was held at Mr. Del.ong's cottage at Island View, Outdoor games. fishing. boating. and swimming were enjoyed by all.
