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.

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.

Senior Engrossing Club NGROSSING, commonly known as Old English Lettering, is a lost art being revived. In olden days, books were engrossed by hand, For this reason the manuscripts were very costly, sometimes valued at thousands of dollars. Old English lettering is recognized and interpreted by every civilized country and by its use we are able to understand each other, thus bringing about world fellowship. Although it is used chiefly on diplomas, certificates, and resolutions, en- grossing is sometimes employed in advertising, in one of its three styles: script, round hand, or broad pen. To master engrossing, a task which requires practice, perseverance and neatness, to become skilled in making both the lower case and capital lettersg to make cards appropriate for the season, and to engross poems are the aims and activities of the club. The officers of the club are: President, Florence Dorksg Vice President, Kenneth Coxg Secretary-Treasurer, Millard Kluba, Top row, left to right: Schneider, Cox, Huber, Klubil, Bottom row: Zorn, Shaw, Dorks, McCain, Kirchner, 1 T ,., 1 , .
