Sewing Club Organized in Exeter A number of girls met in the Home Economics room of the school Thursday night of last week, the first of a series of meetings to take a course in sewing. The course is sponsored by the Junior Institute with Miss Marion Rundle and Miss Christine Dobson as leaders. An election of officers was held with the following results; president, Bessie Johns; vice- president, Kathleen May; sec­ retary-treasurer, Donna Mitchell press reporter, Eilene Johns. The selection of a name proved very interesting with many sug­ gestions being offered. The one chosen 'was the Nitey Nite Club. (This name was thought to be the most appropriate as the course includes the making of sleeping garments,) A sewing box is required by each girl and M’arion passed a sample around and explained the items a sewing box should contain. Each girl will keep a record book which will contain the accounts of the meetings, samples of work done and a summary of the course. The cov­ ers of the books are to be the same color and design. Some time was spent on ex­ plaining different fabrics and Marion had several samples to show. All meetings are to be held in the Home Economics Room of the school with next one Thursday night of week. the this Santa Says Give Presents With a Future Radios a Electrical Gifts Are Practical Answers for your Xmas List ■A gift that gives hours of lasting pleasure.
