The Painters Club, headed by Mickie Seip, do have enthusiasm, and why not. with charming Miss Coffing at hand to sponsor the group? They attend the state art conventions each year, and some member always brings home the bacon by way of a prize in painting, sculpturing, or modeling. Writers Club, organized to stimulate in- terest in all sorts of writing, is sponsored by Mr. Enos. A project of the club was to put over the Victory Book Campaign, the drive to get books to send to the soldiers in camps. At meetings the members wrote new yells, songs, and poetry. Creative writing has reached a high level in P. H. S. since this club was organized. Under the direction of Miss Gommel, Home Economics Club met regularly to study and practice domestic science. The girls cooked, sewed, and got first hand informa- tion on homemaking. Clothes and style played an important part in their study also. is
