The name of the club which is a puzzle to many is made up of the first two letters of sewing-se-and the first two letters in cook- ing-co. The purpose of the club is to stimulate in- terest in the Held of home economics. The club is composed en- tirely of girls who are in- terested in home econom- ics, and who have received an average of 8519 in either Foods or Clothing. It meets on the first and third Monday of each month and is one of the few clubs of the high school that is affiliated with other organizations of its kind. The Seco club belongs to both the State and National Home Economics Associa- tions. The club sent a dele- gate and their advisor to the National Conven- tion at Macomb in Oc- tober.

One of the most interesting programs was the one in which Miss Katherine Kroger of the Rockford Electric Com- pany talked on The Dif- ferent Possibilities of Home Economics. At the Christ- mas meeting Santa Claus distributed 10-cent gifts and the members were treated to punch and wafers.

5 fi QS A A 4 The Paint and Palette club, as one can judge from the name, is one which deals with art. Its main purpose is to create among the high school students more in- terest in art. Anyone who is interested in the activi- ties of the society is eligible for membership. The club holds its regular meetings on alternate Tuesday nights. The programs usually in- clude a talk which is given by someone who is promi- nent in art work of any kind and several musical se- lections. One of the club's most interesting programs of the year was given by Mr. Leslie Young Correth- ers, who is an instructor in both art and English at Keith school. His topic was Modern Art in Europe and America. His talk was doubly interesting be- cause he had traveled in Europe the previous summer in order to study art and, thus, gave the club members first-hand informa- tion to make his talk Paint and Palette OFFICERS First Semester President BERYL PERRY Vice-President MYRTLE ELLIOTT Secretary JEAN LAUDER Treasurer MARY BACILEK Second Semester President JEAN MILLER Vice-President MALIN BAKKELUND I Secretary HERVOR BENGSTON Treasurer NEVA PETERSON Advisor MISS FLOY DENTLER clearer. He showed ma- terial he had secured in Europe and also some art work which had been done by various students at Keith school. ln October the club held an art exhibit which con- sisted of pieces of work done by the club members. The two prizes for the best work were awarded to Neva Peterson and Eliza- beth Braid. The first afternoon party of the school year was the one sponsored by this socie- ty which proved to be a huge success. -Members of the Rock- ford College Art club were entertained at an afternoon tea by the members of the Paint and Palette club. A program was given which consisted of violin selec- tions by the club or- chestra and several dancing numbers. Another very inter- esting program the so- ciety had this year was given by a sculptor at Rockford College. Myrtle Elliott Mildred Elliott Beryl Perry W ' ' fa! one hundred sixty-two Q Gr

All .girls are eligible members who are interested in its ac- tivities. The meetings are held on alternate Wednes- day nights. The members have work- ed earnestly this year to carry out the purpose of their club. At Thanksgiv- ing time and also at Christ- mas time they brought cheer to a poor family, which they constantly help to support, by taking a bas- ket of food, clothing and toys for the different mem- bers of the family. The meetings are always enjoyable and helpful.

Each year a play is given by members of the club. The proceeds of these are used to send two girls to a Girl Reserve conference which is held in July. Social times are not lack- ing however. A trip to Camp Rotary for overnight, during Thanksgiving vaca- tion, proved to be one which everyone thoroughly enjoyed although upon ar- riving there after having hiked out, each one was fairly well tired out.
