Secretary-Treafurer The Bird Lovers' Club, one of the latest societies to be added to Tuley's grow- ing roster of organizations, has made its successful debut this semester. The increasing interest of the entire country in birds which has resulted in the forma- tion of many societies whose object it is to study and protect them has found an echo in Tuley. lt is owing the initiative and zealous work of Benjamin Plonsky that an or- ganization of this kind was made possible. Wiith Plonsky as president, Feiwlowitz as vice-president and Kolb as secretary-treasurer, The Bird Lovers' Club has in its very first semester obtained an envious position among Tuley Clubs. Tuley students have eagerly responded to the call for bird fans. During the Spring, groups of Bird Lovers' have been going out to the city parks and the forest preserves to study bird life. Trips were taken to Lincoln Park, Jackson Park. Nlilwaukee Vifoods, Beverly Hills, and even to the distant Palos Park. In fact, if Walking counts, the Bird Lovers can be considered the most active club of all Tuley. The Bird Lovers' meet once a Week in the Zoology Laboratory under the super- vision of Mr. Epsey. Much credit is due to the interest of Mr. Minnis and Mr. Espey. The interest of our Zoology instructors in this young organization has done much to insure its existence. The members have delved into bird books, studied birds in their natural haunts, compiled migration records. and have endeavored to stir up in Tuley a deeper appreciation for nature, particularly bird study. The enthusiasm and interest displayed in but one semester, assure a brilliant future for the Bird Lovers' Club. Pagf Ali716'fy:f0 ur
