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.

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.

unior Poster Club HE junior Poster Club, sponsored by Mr. Dauterich, includes members from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. The purpose of the club is twofold: first, to study the history of posters from primitive days, second, to help each member become more efficient in making posters. Poster history dates back to the primitive days, the first posters were made in China and japan in the 15th century. The French people were the first to see the beauty and inspiration in posters. The first problem in poster making was one to illustrate any country, state or city. The drawing was traced onto poster board and then painted. The second problem of the club was a pen and ink chart and was executed in ink. Posters are used for various purposes: school projects, design, color, drafts- manship, and advertising. Our club boasts of a very handsome pin. It is diamond shape with a raised scroll, faced with four gold stars and two Greek letters which stand for the name of our club. The officers of the club are: President, Albert Stoller, Secretary, Erwin Haffner. First row, left to right: Katz, Manning, Wehner, Smith, Schmitt. Kaplan. Second row: Merz, Link, Haefner, Bellem.
