The Boys Club of the Lord Balti-
more Junior High School met in the
eighth grade room on March 80. The
committee had well planned pro-
gram. Clifton Hudson gave talk on
How to Grow and Harvest Corn
which led to quite some discussion
in which many facts about growing
corn and the use of fertilizer were
brought cut. Russell Lynch gave a
reading which was very amusing
and entertaining. The remainder of
the club period was songs, recita-
tions and jokes. Albert Hudson fav-
Ored us with some music on the har-
monica. Miss Moore. our club lead
er, was with us and had many
things of interest to say to us as
usual.
Muriel Davis, president OF the
Prime Hook Neck Sewing Club has
notified Miss Moore, County Club
Agent, that nine Of the ten members
have completed their sewing, and
are ready for their club pins. These
girls are unusually capable and self ]
relient and their excellent sewing
should be matter of pride to them |

tails OF q banquet to be held the
last part of the month. At the
close of the business meeting,
games put on by Bernice Adams, as
sisted by Mary Johnson, were enjoy
ed by all present. Afterwards, the
members of the club, and the guests,
were invited into the charming din
ing room, where delicious refresh
mentS were served. Each place card
called for a stunt, and, peals of
laughter greeted the many ridicu-
lous and almost impossible things,
required of that lively crowd. All
were tremendously interest
ed in seeing Bernice's room, which
she had done over as club project.
The A1iu4,ure mad neen repainted, q

stool matched the table. Book shell

rugs were on the floor. The color
scheme of the room was rose and
green. Another interesting feature
of the occasion was seeing corn

tain fireplaces of the dimensions OF
this one. The last thing on the pro
gram was a visit to the little twin
