Vfhitney As much a part of Worcester Academy as any of the other campus organizations, the Thimble Club is unique in that it is composed exclusively of women, its members being the wives of the faculty and Trustees. ln 1894 Mrs. Abercrombie, wife of the Headmaster, founded the club, which has been in existence ever since. Monthly meetings are held at which there is a business meeting. a guest speaker, and refreshments. However. not to depart from what the club's name implies, the members work separately on their project of knitting an afghan and sewing for the Red Cross. One of the club's chief projects is to raise money for a scholarship for some worthy junior by showing a foreign Hlm. This year on May 11 and 12 large audiences saw Sir Alexander Korda's film version of the Baroness Orczy's popular romance of the French Revolution, The Stnzrlel Pimpernel. starring Merle Oberon and the late Leslie Howard. .XOJ ' ,dig I I' 1' 5 , F 'i .Wg Smlrrl.
