It is composed of forty-hve boys under the direction of Mrs. Cowling. t The aim of the club is to assist boys who are interested in the life and events of the past, by directing their reading and providing a place for discussion. Sub- jects for study are selected by vote of the club. At present we are finishing a six weeks course in early Egyptian history, and the monuments of olden times which still remain. Most of the material we have used has been secured from the Public Library. All meetings of the club are presided over by the officers of the organization, and business is conducted in regular parliamentary form. The History Club has tried to uphold true Lincoln standards. All members are expected to do their share of work on all projects started by the club, and by their loyalty and general good conduct to be a credit to our school which offers them this opportunity.

The work of the early part of the year included individual reports on phases of civic life, and days devoted to current events regarding civic life. At the present time the club is making an extensive study of Commander Richard Byrdis Antarctic Polar expedition. Morris Marcus has drawn a large scale map of the South Pole regions, and as the Byrd expedition makes new discoveries these are recorded on the map. A valuable part of this study is the group construction of a Byrd Expedition scrap book and each of the club members is to contribute clippings and pictures to this volume. When completed this scrap book is to be presented to the Library. Much profitable time was spent by the club in drawing up a constitution. Some of the changes introduced on the standard type are quite interesting. One of these makes the room adviser the club treasurer. Mr. Klaifke is club adviser. Forty-One

It is especially trying to learn about the customs and habits of the people of foreign countries, and to appreciate them so that they do not seem so queer. They are also learning not to be so critical of people who are different and to appreciate what these for- eigners have done for us. Much of our art and literature has come to us from across the sea. To be able to understand and appreciate it, we must know something of the circumstances sur- rounding the lives of the people who have given these things to us. The club has studied about Netherlands, Scotland, Egypt, Japan, and Spain. At present they are dressing dolls as a preparation for the study of the costumes worn in these various countries. They have kept note-books in which extremely interesting customs, games, sports, and many other things are described. The work is carried on with the aid of books, pictures, and slides from the library. Mrs. Stearns is the faculty adviser. Forty-Thre e
