Brown Mrs. Harold W. Presson This, the Thimble Club's forty-seventh year, has been a very busy one. The group, composed of wives of the faculty and trustees, enjoyed at its regular meetings lectures on such topics as Home Decorating and instructive musical programs. In addition to these meetings the club has sewn for the Red Cross and sponsored a scholarship film in Warner Memorial. The annual film, the proceeds of which are used to establish a scholar- 25 ship of two hundred and fifty dollars for a Worcester Academy boy, was entitled The Baker's Wife, a French produc- tion. The raising of this scholarship was undoubtedly one of the largest tasks of the year, the film being shown before three capacity audiences and necessi- tating a great deal of hard work on the part of the club members. Special praise is due Mrs. Tozier, under whose direction the film was presented. HACHIEVE THE HONORABLE
