Science Club Admits Girls Believing that many girls as well as boys are inter- ested in science, the Science Club has this year opened membership to girls of Nordstrum and Southwestern. Taking an active part in the club, the girls have put on several interesting programs. Reports and demonstra- tions have also engaged the attention of the club. Science Club The club was formed in January, 1927, as Nordstrum Junior Chemists. It was renamed the Science Club in the fall of 1927. During the past year, meetings have been held every two weeks, while boys and girls alter- nated in taking charge. Ofiicers are President, George Weiss, Vice-President and Chemist, Hubert Knochg Secretary and Reporter, Peter Szlukg Assistant Chemist, Stephen Eberle. Members are Bonnie Smith. Jane Melms, Martha Young, Mildred Boone, Dorothy Halligan, Thelma Childs, Marion Kalin, Marion Stow, Maxine Miepoth, Margaret Borsodi, George Weiss, Peter Szluk, Virgil Wilton, John Greene, Stephen Kuzma, Charles Chene, Sheldon Knoch, Stephen Eberle, Hubert Knoch, Kenneth Himes, Bennie Gruenfeldt, and Daniel Grush. Miss Rosenberg and Mr. Yeatter are faculty advisers. Juniors Honor Guests The Junior Boys' Glee Club has closed the past semes- ter with honors, having participated in the May Festival at which they sang Old Black Joe , a southern melody, and Mareanina,', with a combined mixed chorus of the Junior Girls' Glee Club. They also sang for the National Bankers' Association at the new Masonic Temple. The boys were ,guests at luncheon as a tribute to their singing. The boys have made an impressive appearance in their white trousers, shirts, and black bow ties. There are thirty-three Nordstrum students in the Glee Club. Domecons Enjoy Banquet The social calendar of the Domecon Club this year in- cluded many notable events such as the pleasant and profitable trip to the Detroit Creamery and the Mother and Daughter banquet on May 9. This date was the gala day of the club when mothers and daughters ate and made merry. Another social activity was the Bunco party Domecon Club given by Katherine Beauvais at her home. The Domecon girls were her guests. This term, ten new students were invited to join the club. After a difficult but comical initiation, which was later appeased with delicious refreshments, the girls be- came full-fledged members. Those initiated were Ethel Tuchelski, Wylie Conklin, Loraine Perry, Mildred Phil- lips, Helen Vincent, Vera Benn, and Elizabeth Martin. Only girls who have had at least one term of cooking are eligible. At the first meeting of the club the following oflicers were elected: president, Coryl King: vice-president, Mil- dred Ray, secretary, Katherine Beauvaisg treasurer, Viola Schlack. The club will readily assert that a great part of the credit for the successful outcome of all of their ventures belongs almost wholly to their different advisers, Miss Parke and Miss Lauer. E. H. R. Sells Candy fContinued from Page 20.1 Chocolate bars were sold, to enlarge the treasury for the new members, who will carry on the work of the club in September. The officers of this club are: June Marie Rust, Presi- dent, Irene Rosensweig, Vice-President, Elsie Osborne, Corresponding Secretary, Elva Strong, Treasurer, and Leonora Corsini, Secretary. The advisers of the club are Miss Becker and Mrs. Wilson. Service Club Sets New Record The Service Club has found great improve- ment in the conduct of the students of South- western. In fact, there have been very few complaints of the mis- conduct of students in the halls. The school is proud of the record. for it is an evident sign that Southwest- ern students are capa- ble of taking care of themselves. This semester the boys and girls of the Service Club have en- joyed many affairs. The girls initiated the new girls at a pot-luck supper. Later in the season, the entire club enjoyed a dance, to which their friends were also invited. All had a jolly good time. Lieutenant Yeager was greatly pleased with the co-operation extended by the stu- dent body and mem- bers of the club. He appreciates their aid very much. Page Twczzfy-Tlzrcc
