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

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

Manny Fingerhut, Robert Gaudian, Mr. Schlotfelt THE PICA CLUB HE Pica Club was organized four years ago under the supervision of Mr. Sehlotfelt with the purpose of interesting the boys in printing. The club gave the members an idea of the advantages and disadvantages in the printing held. It taught the boys interested in printing about the different kinds of type, how to lock up a job, and how to run the press. The club has been responsible for the publishing of the uLincoln Life , our. bi-weekly school paper. This job has given them much experience in working 'with real problems that come up in a printefs life, such as getting the work out on time, knowing when and where to use the right kind of type, and making well placed and attractive jobs. This year the club has been very helpful to the school by printing arithmetic tests; poems for English teachers; the Lincoln Handbook , which is an index to the school; programmes and tickets for entertainments; P. T. A. invitations; signs; and other odd jobs. All in all, the Pica Club has been of a great benefit and service to the pupils, the teachers, and the school, by giving the boys experience in the printing field, by doing odd jobs for the teachers, and by bettering the school through the printing of the school paper and the handbook.
