HOME ECONOMICS CLUB The planning and serving of luncheons, together with many other interesting subjects has occupied the larger portion of the time in the Home Economics Club, which is under the supervision of Miss Keenan. The girls prepare the food, set the tables, and do other things essential for the success of the luncheon. Some time is also devoted to the study of etiquette. Duties of hostess and guest, invitations, letters, and introductions are also included in their study of etiquette. The members of the club gave special topics relating to the home. The subject of gardens has proved especially at- tractlve. They have found a great deal of enjoyment in planning the decorations, games, favors, and refreshments for parties of the month, such as St. Valentine,s Day, George Wash- ingtonls birthday, and St. Patrick,s Day. New books and magazines which relate to the subjects of their study will be purchased. The club has grown both in numbers and in knowledge kt of the culinary art. Mm Keenan Page ForIy-five

SEWING CLUB To implant in the minds of the girls the spirit of co-operation, self-direction, self- appraisal, and self-control; to create a desire for enjoyable and fruitful use of leisure time; to establish habits of accuracy, neatness, and thrift; and to develop skill and accuracy in handwork and machine work are the important aims of the Sewing Club. During the first semester the girls made quilted pillows, finger towels, tams, and other small articles. The second term they endeavored to complete accessories for home, self, and school. Crocheted tams, felt purses, quilted silk purses, and underwear sets were included 1n the articles for self, while book covers, shoe bags, finger towels, and luncheon sets con- stituted the home needs. An important part of their work is the planning, mak- ing, distributing and collecting of costumes for plays, oper- ettas, and the May Festival. If costumes are needed, or any repairing or fitting is to be done, the Sewing Club is ready. In this way a valuable service is rendered to the whole school. Miss Gunderson is the club adviser.

HANDICRAFT CLUB To teach her girls how to use leisure time enjoyably, how to create handwork that is truly beautiful, and how to link art with embroidery is the chief aim of Miss Berg, instructor of the Handicraft Club. This semester, the girls have made hooked rugs, afghans, and embroidery pieces. They have also revived crocheting. Last year, this club, together with other handicraft clubs, exhibited their work before the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion. When the girls first entered the club, they knew little or nothing about crocheting or embroidery. Many new things were learned and by the end of the term, each member was able to exhibit something truly beautiful. This year, more beautiful articles have been completed, some of which have been displayed where hundreds each day Mm Bug have passed and enjoyed them. Page Forty-six
