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

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.

Each girl, through steady work has made at least one rug and some of the more industrious ones are priding themselves on the fact that they have made two lovely rugs. This work gives the girls training in combining pleasing colors. Where rags are used they dye them according to their needs and wants. The club was first started as a rag-rug activity but some of the girls have created beautiful floor coverings by the combined uses of yarn and rags 01' just yarn alone. The work of this club was greatly admired by all who saw our industrial exhibi- tion in April. The club has been of much service through its making of the members a group of thrifty, industrious girls, with a marked appreciation of hand- work of all kinds. Forty-Nine
