TRAVEL CLUB Under the able sponsorship of Miss Cutter, thc Travel Club consisting of about thirty girls, spent an instructive and entertaining season. Our officers were: Svcrclnry Jeanette Shaller Treasurer Mamie Feingold Our main event of the year was an imaginary trip around the world, of which we kept a record in the form of notebooks. In these wc kept our passports, tickets, itineraries, and pictures and articles concerning the countries we visited. We derived much enjoyment and valuable information from our Chinese and Japanese entertainments, at which plays were presented which acquainted us with the costumes and customs of the Orient. Our actual traveling was done in Boston, when we visited the Christian Science Publishing House and saw the lnaporium and also when we accompanied the Eureka Science Club to the Harvard Observatory. We have profited greatly this year by our membership in the Travel Club. 65

THE ART CLUB President Ethel Chase Vice President Miriam Goldberg Secretory Mae Benjamin Treasurer Evelyn VVheeler The Art Club, sponsored by Miss Hicks, has had a very definite purpose. It is to promote an interest and an appreciation for worthwhile art. To accom- plish our purpose, we have visited different art exhibits, copied the works of great artists, and derived helpful hints from their work. Among the exhibits we have seen this year are paintings by Luigi Luciani, stained glass windows by Counick, Museum pieces, work done by students in the Massachusetts School of Art, work done by students in the School of Practical Art, and work exhibited in the Y. W. C. A. building. Under the able guidance of Miss Hicks we have progressed rapidly. VVe have done work in charcoal, pastel, pen, and pencil. The result has been a large number ol' head drawings, still-life groups, animal drawings, portrait work, and many other types, all of which have appeared in our Art Club exhibition. We have done much work on the stage in preparation for plays, such as painting, remodeling, and renovating. Signs and posters have also been made by the mem- bers to advertise the different plays and entertainments of the school. Due to our excellent sponsorship, the willingness and helpfulness of our members, and the growing interest in art, the Art Club is now une of the best and most interest- ing clubs in the school. 64
