It was organized to give self-reliant, interested boys an opportunity to work in a modern shop where they can plan and carry out their own ideas in Wood; to provide stage hands and carpenters for the school; and to learn to make any needed thing for their school or home. The achievements of the club are many. The boys have made sketches and working drawings and have estimated the costs of the various projects. Each of the boys has made several things for himself among which are planes, sail boats, motor boats and bird houses. All but a few of the boys have joined the Airplane Model League of America and have built miniature planes and successfully Hown them. Ten of the boys of the club comprise the Lincoln Junior High stage crew. They set and shift all scenery for the various plays given by the school or by local organizations. This club has been of much service to the members by providing the use of an equipped shop. It has inspired the boys to more and better work along the line in which they are most interested, has given them congenial surroundings in Which to work out their own ideas, and they have learned to take a just pride in all school and home properties.

This year the girls made the costumes for the Operetta, F01- De-Rolf, and for the play, HNathan Hale. The blue and white tams-and ties worn by the girls, band members were de- signed and made by the sewing club. The girls feel that they have really accom- plished something quite worth while when they see the entire band on the stage- ready to play. Besides ngaking costumes and caps and ties, each girl has made something for the home or for some other member of the family. They made such things as quilted pillows, luncheon sets, and holders. Those who made pillows made their own patterns. After this was accomplished the members of the club made something for themselves. Some made scarfs, others made coolie coats, and still others made fancy holders. In making these things the girls selected their own material and planned their own work. Thus the sewing club has rendered a great service to its members by showing them how to work with one another and how to use their leisure time profitably. The girls have received excellent training in sewing and have learned how to make things that there is no time for in the regular class. I Miss Gunderson is the faculty adviser. FortyeSix

They have learned to make useful articles for the home, including beautiful hand-made rugs, table covers, and bags. In addition to these many of the girlst have learned to thread a 100m and to weave on it. They have made rugs and table covers on the 100m by using both thin and heavy yarn. Each girl has made at least one rug, either hooked, woven, or crocheted. Some of the more industrious girls have made in addition to their rugs, table covers and hand bags. At Christmas time they had a gift sale at which they sold hand-made dog pillows, hot pad holders, Howers and other articles, which they had made. In Spring an exhibit was held in the auditorium. The girls showed their rugs, mats, and covers. A beautiful hooked rug of yarn has been made and presented to the school. This club has rendered great service in that it has taught the girls to be useful and industrious, and thereby able to beautify their homes and make them more pleasant to live in. Forty-Eight
