knows aught Of the workings Of the club
f~eelssfs honestly deserved.
In the choice of First Vice President
the club has made NJ mistake. Mrs. A. j.
Newbury was elected to that Office last
year after a preliminary course Of three
years (the time limit as Recording Sec
rotary. Both before and after Mrs. scud-
der's illness she has proved her fitness
For the position. She was one of the or
ganizers and charter members OF the club,
and she is deservedly one Of the most
popular members.
/, Mrs. George w. Clerihew is another of
the officers who has been on the f.xecu-
tive Board since the organization oil rie
club. She served as First Vice President
three years and then was made last year.
the Chairman of the Home Department.
Yesterday she was elected Second Vice
President.
The Recording Secretary. Mrs. George
r. Hough. has won encofniums in the last
year for her excellent reports OF the club
meetings.
DR.. Florence De Hart was also re-
elected Corresponding Secretary. which
office she has filled creditably TOR one
year.
The Federation Secretary, Miss Ada
Davenport Fuller, was also re-eiecred.
Miss Fuller served the club three years
as Corresponding Secretary, and in that
time she started the club paper, the out
look" of which she is still editor.
Mrs. Spencer Weart, the reelected
Treasurer, has done excellent work in the
past year. She has kept the treasury con-
stantly before the club and has succeeded
in closing the year with no ul1pala uues
and a high balance on the right side.
Miss Haight. the newly elected audi
tor. was elected an. officer of the club
for the first time last year. She was
made Recording Secretary, an Office she
resigned in a few months.
The re-electlon of Mrs. Charles Calvin
Stimets as Chairman of the Art Depart
ment was another election which every
one approved. The art day last winter
was one long to be remembered in the an
mails of the club.
Mrs. Robert G.. Lyle, Chairman of the
Music Committee. a has held undisputed
possession of that position since the or
ganization of the club.
Mrs. John A. Walker has brought the
Literature Committee to the front ranks
of the club. The committee has done ex-
cellent work throughout the year and its
progress is almost entirely due to the
efforts OF Mrs. Walker.
Mrs. William Marvin has served since
the departure of Mrs. Elmer Neal from
the city as Chairman of the Education
Committee. She was reelected. Pre-
viously Mrs. Marvin has been a member
of the Membership Committee and the
Executive Board.
Mrs. Hudspeth-Benson has not hitherto
been on the Executive Beard. Her fit
ness for the craftsmanship of the Town
Improvement Committee has been shown
in work outside the club. Her work in
Greenville is too well known to neeu repe-
titicn.
1t is probable that Mrs. Brice Colard
as Chairman of the Philanthropic Com
mittee is a perpetual institution" Mrs.
Collard has accomplished SO much in the
four years she has been in that position
and she is SO thoroughly interested in ner
work that no one else would acccpt the
nomination were it offered theai. The
Kindergarten Association is one of the
results of the work of the committee.
Miss Edge is the other newcomer to
the Board. She is now Chairman of the
Home Department. She was at one time
on the Board of the Woman's Exchange.
Her work in the club is perhaps not so
we'll known as her work as President of
the Christmas Guild, a successful body
originated and organized by her.
