M iss Carver Since the organization of the Primary-Grammar Grade Club in the fall of 1921, its membership has more than doubled. At present it has two hundred twenty members. The purposes of the club are to establish a friendly and helpful unity of feeling among the individuals of this group. to further their training in leadership, and to inspire a greater interest in their professional preparation. This club consists of girls who are being trained to do a very important work in the educational system of the state. There are no students in the school who more truly realize their responsibility than the Primary-Grammar Grade girls. A number of very pleasant social hours have been spent to- gether. The lirst event was a mixer given by the seniors for the purpose of welcoming the juniors to the La Crosse Normal School. A program consisting of music and readings was given, and refresh- ments were served. The party closed with an hour of dancing. Later in the fall a hike to Grandad Bluff was enjoyed by a large number of girls. At the summit they found bushels of apples and peanuts awaiting them, Mr. Lyon having been kind enough to deliver the goods in advance. And who could forget that Christmas party, with its beautiful Christmas trees, its modern Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus bringing gifts to all, and those delicious home-made cakes made by our own home girls? An excellent program helped to make the evening one long to be remembered. ' Wie have had a happy and a profitable year. May our club continue to make good! ff I U
