THE TRAVEL CLUB The Club was organized With the slogan See America Firstf' The vastness of our country blurs our vision The details of nearness are I j confusing. We fail to see the forest because of the trees Our aim is to get a bird 8- eye view of the United States, to know the places of real in- terest in our country, and, having seen them, learn to paint word pictures for those whose travels have not been along our way. Our iirst project was to see our own state in order that we might discover the position it holds in comparison with other states in its opportunities for health, wealth, and recre- ation. To summarize our work on Minnesota, we debated the question, iiResolved that Minne- sota is the best state of the Union in which to live.' The work is carried on with the aid of books, pictures, and slides from the Library. MR'MWLOFF Mrs. Morrison is in charge of this club

MINNEAPOLIS CLUB The Minneapolis Club was organized last February by a group of boys and girls Who Wished to learn more about their city. They realized that knowledge of this kind would enable them to live as citizens more worthy of the many opportunities that Minneapolis offers. With this thought in mind they set to work. They have made a trip to the east shore of Lake Calhoun where they discovered and took a picture of the bronze tablet which marks the site of a cabin erected by Gideon Pond when he came into this territory to work among the Indians. On the same trip they found the tablet north of the waiting station at Lake Harriet Which marks the site of the first school house in Minneapolis. Members of the club are now working on booklets which are to include pictures, clip- pings, and written material concerning Min- neapolis, beginning with its very early history. Miss Yike is the faculty adviser.

HISTORICAL CLUB The Historical Club was organized in February, 1927. Our purpose is to study interesting periods of the world's history and the lives of its great leaders. a We have spent several weeks on the life of Napoleon and the French Revolution. At present, we are studying the life, religion, and laws of the Greeks, as a preparation for the study of the achievements of Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. We plan to study early Egypt and Rome as well as the Crusades and then some more modern iigures and events. We hope to have time to read more of the great historical novels. However, utruth is stronger than 13c- tion as we have all learned since we began this course of reading. The club has twenty-two enthusiastic members. Mrs. Cowling is the faculty adviser.
