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

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.

Raymond, Adviser ART CLUB OF 211 THE art club of room 211 is composed mainly of advanced art pupils and those with special abilities as the latter do most of the art work for the Annual. We are especially interested in craft problems because we learn to design, plan, and then make our problems. This teaches us to appreciate the time, patience, hard work, and love which is found in the work of all good artists and craftsmen. At the same time we become better buyers and help to make our homes more beau- tiful. We aim to serve as many as possible. Perhaps our biggest service is to our school. The Annual workers spend many weeks planning and working on the drawings. We make school posters and sometimes are called on to design problems for other clubs. This year we began with lamp shades and luncheon cloths which were decorated with linoleum block designs. We took up leather tooling for the first time and found it both interesting and worth-while, and are proud of our useful results. We also wove Hower baskets of reed, made tie-dyed scarfs and runners, and book ends. Those who assisted with the Annual drawings were Mildred Moris, Richard Wiggin, Leon Sorkin, Elma Lukanen, Nellie Jobes, Carl Jacobson, Percy Sklarow, Sam Kepman, and Lucille Bacal. Mrs. Raymond is the adviser. Forty-Four
