f1l?flllllRlli9S9 fl3llRAllF6lIF Glilifjllillllb HE Craft Club for Girls, which is under the supervision of Miss Fliege, is very interesting. We enjoy our Thursday afternoon get-together for the purpose of becoming more acquainted with design and to learn different forms of craft Work. In this Way We use various kinds of materials and tools. The first project that was undertaken was a leather pocketbook. First we made our designs, then tooled them on the leather. Then We laced the diierent parts together and put on fasteners. The next project taken up was a hammered bracelet. When these were Hnished, the girls Wore them immediately. We are now planning a small panel, with a copy of a famous painting mounted upon it. The decoration will be done in gesso. The oflicers of the club are: Myrtle Duttenhofer, Presidentg Ruth Beineke, Vice President, and Mildred J uergens, Secretary. Two of our club members, Jean Houghton and Helen Graf, are not in our picture. Jean is a new member of our club. -Myrtle Duttenhofer Girls' Craft Club First Row, left to right: Nicoll, Neuer, Zervos.

dlllllllINIllIl1Dllllo ll3lIRAllF6lIllIli5lIRS'i lIl3lIl1lllllll2n HE Junior Crafters, Club is an organization to which pupils of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades are eligible. It was organized in 1928, by Miss Blasch. This club of earnest and enthusiastic Workers meets once ayweek and holds a business meeting once a month. The purpose of the club is: First, to develop an understanding and appreciation of the different phases of art and craft Work, second, to provide experience in the handling of different materials, from which art objects are constructed, third, to give practice in creating designs and applying them to these objects. The members have had practice in pose drawing and have spent several meetings with picture study. At Christmas time, each Crafter presented his mother with a tea tile, which he had designed in club. Christmas cards were also hand-colored at this time. Later another tile Was made, but was entirely different in character. The boys, of the club, exhibited these at the Boy Scout Expo- sition. This Was followed by soap carving. Many cunning little animals, fish, birds, etc., have been carved. The members feel that the club time Was well spent. Members not in the picture are: Sparnall, President, Drott, Hock- strasser, Vollmer, Neufarth. -Alice Kelly Jtmfiov' Crafters' Club First Row, left to right: McDonough, Holloway, Kelly, Keller, Rooney, Kappel, Stueve, Edwards, Mintzer Second Row: Bradley, Kettering, Reeder, Enghauser, Secretary: Steinbuck, Kareth, Noell, Caston Top Row: Schroer, Howe, Borcherding, Duebbcr, Haynay, Thomas, vice presidentg Renter, treasurer. f125j
