Any pupil taking commercial subjects is eligible for member- ship. and is urged to profit by this advantage. Practically all of us expect to belong to the business world. and certainly it will be much in our favor to know something about it and how it functions. 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. Every member and the two supervisors deserve much credit for their interesting efforts in helping to make the club a successful one. -Gam..-wo Rtioicic one hLzm1'red Ittwrilti-Ihrrc

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

HE third year of the Library club's existence iinds it still a great benefit and a helpful element to those who have chosen this line of work as their career. Only those who are really interested in library work are considered or made members of the club. lts purpose is to educate and train prospective librarians in all the sciences of book lore and its accompanying facilities. The club met every other week in the school library. lts meetings were devoted to the study of the care and handling of books, their classification and grouping. their distribution. the method of shelving them. and anything which pertains to their use in the library. Each member of the club was given her opportunity to work in the library for a period of time to show what she had learned about library work during the year. Each year a Book Week has been held under the sponsorship of the Library club. during which time its members take charge of the library and exhibit its books. ln addition to its regular meetings this year, the girls held a clever treasure hunt, the clues and treasures being hidden in books throughout the library. The club ended its season with a May Day tea. an event which was eagerly looked forward to and very much enjoyed. The Library club has proved very successful under the careful supervision of Miss Reilly, and its work is expected to continue to be an attraction and help for next year's members. -KATHRYN BENEDICT one hundred ltwntu-four
