Western Hills High School - Annual Yearbook (Cincinnati, OH)

unior Handicraft Club HE junior Handicraft Club has been organized to give the pupils of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades of our school an opportunity to design and create useful articles. We aim to acquire a general knowledge of the possibilities and limitations of different materials and to choose designs suit- able to the material and use of the article. At the beginning of the year, Miss Davis, our sponsor, divided our club into two groups. One group worked in leather, while the other worked in silver. Many interesting articles were made, such as key cases, purses, book marks, bracelets, and pendants. We learned such processes as tooling, lacing, and dying leather, sawing, hammering, shaping and polishing silver. Since Christmas we have been decorating wooden jewelry and handkerchief boxes. The medium we are using is gesso. The designs are various. Some have chosen modernistic designs, some have gone to nature for their inspiration, while others prefer ships and old-fashioned ladies. The pins purchased early in the year are gold and black enamel. The design is composed of an Old English H in the center with the words Western Hills High School raised in gold around it. The officers of the club for the year are: President, Maurine Rose, Secre- tary-Treasurer, Margy Moser. -JANET STRUNK, DOROTHY HEIDER.

L l W The junior Pen and Ink Club HE junior Pen and Ink Club is made up of the talented members of the seventh, eighth. and ninth grades. It is sponsored by Mrs. Taylor and the president is Mary Rump, a ninth grade pupil. There are eighteen members, and all show a fine exhibition of art work. Our first problem was making silhouettes of a summer activity, which we inked on colored paper. We then cut the same designs out in black and mounted them on silver paper. Our next step was framing this. Wlien these were completed they looked very beautiful, and one of them received a ribbon in the Girls' Hobby Fair. It was designed and made by Virginia Bogenschutz, of the seventh grade. Our next big problem was making pictures, cartoons, and designs for the Annual. First we drew sketches in pencil and after correcting our mistakes we transferred them on white paper. Then we inked them in three tones, black, white, and grey. Some of the art work used in the Annual has been done by members of the junior Pen and Ink Club. It is very interesting to be a member of an art club such as this one.

The Junior Crafters, Club HE junior Crafters, under the direction of Miss Blasch, have had many pleasant times together, working out problems in applied art. During the first semester we studied the designs made by the early American Indians. Then we made original designs, which were woven into Indian plaques of colored raffia and reed. This problem was certainly a test of patience, because so little could be accomplished in one meeting. But like busy crafters, we worked away, until we were finished, and the results were very attractive. Vife also made soap carvings of many amusing animals, in soaps of dif- ferent colors. Two of our members, Lucile Kock and Vera jane Wollenlmaupt, entered soap carvings in the Girls' Hobby Fair, and captured first and second prizes with their clever carvings. To interest all of the Western Hills students in soap sculpture, the Crafters sponsored a contest for the entire student body. This was quite a success, as many beautiful carvings were produced. Prizes and ribbons were provided for the winners. The junior Crafters' Club continues to be successful, in this, its fourth year of existence. The officers are as follows: President, Vera jane Wollenliauptg Vice President, Alfred Schickg Secretary, Alvira Bossermang Treasurer, john Bender. -LUCILE KOCK, '36.
