History OF The POolesvilIe Woman's
Club, 1o24-26.

II is perfectly true saying that His
tory repeats itself" In looking over the
minutes for the past year we find the
above adaee true to great extent.
Our president, Mrs. T. r. Hall, deserves
high praise for the thorough manner in
which she has filled the chair; we feel
fortunate in having had her leadership
Mrs. Hempstone has done splendid work
and has most capably filed the office Of
secretary and treasurer.
Mrs. Carter was appointed director and
was faithful in attendance at executive
board meetings. In November. she with
her family. left the cold and snowy north
land TO bask in Florida's sunny cline.
Then Mrs. H. J. White entered into the
directorate and has given US most inter-
esting and comprehensive reports.
Chairman Of Social Service, Mrs. Charles
Sellman. we record several needy families
aided. wonderful Christmas box sent to
make happy family Of children in reduced
circumstances. and three Christmas stock
ings were sent to Social Service head
quarters in Montgomery county for three
county boys.
Educational chairman. Mrs. julius Hall.
has most creditably filed her Office.
Mrs. Hodgson was appointed chairman of
home economics and Mrs. Edmondston
chairman Of resolutions.
We have enjoyed our bi-monthly gath
erines and hope the many instructive
proven beneficial. Among the number
were "Womans Place in Politics" several
articles about Gene Stratton Porter. a beau
tifully written paper on Our National
Songs" splendid article on Ancient and
Modern Sculpture. an original poem, "A
Gift, by one Of our talented members,
an interesting paper on Stone Mountain
Memorial. THE Little Church Around the
Corner" was most entertaining. Several par
liamentary drills were participated in by
the members.
Through the untirine efforts Of Mrs. Julius
Hall we have, in conjunction with the Dick
erson and Jacksonville Clubs. placed urns
within Monocacy Cemetery entrance. Long
after we have crossed the river they will
stand TO lend beauty to our last resting
place.
On May 30th we held a chicken and
waffle supper at the Poolesville High School,
which netted US $47.50. This was neces-
sary owing to call on the club for $50 to
finance State Normal student through
summer course. thereby finishing our efforts
toward her education at the above named
school Two dollars was also contributed
Vile High School and 81 by a former
teacher. A contribution of 81 was made
toward expenses Of the International Coun-
Gil Of Women to be held in Washington in
May. An endorsement was made by the
club to encourage the study Of music in
the schools. Within the year a dear little
baby girl was given one Of our members. Mrs.
Pyle. We are glad to have with US again
an old member. Mrs. Ritchey, Particular
mention must be made of two events of
the year. the hospitality Of the Rockville
Womans Club toward us and delightful
luncheon with Mrs. Vollmer. hostess, at the
home Of Mrs. 7. r. Hall. So many delectable
things to eat and lively social chatter
made deep impression upon our memory.
At several Of our meetings we have had
the pleasure Of being entertained with
recitations by our honorary member. Mrs.
Baeeerly.
The falling off in our membership is to
be regretted. Only by unison in our work
can we accomplish the things worth while.
IN unity there is strength"
MRS. II. M. CLAGGETT,
Club Historian.
