Mabel Royce was chosen temporary
president. Miss Selma E. Allen treas
urer, and Miss Dorothea Wassman cor
responding secretary. As the club
was organized in the spring and 1t
had been decided that the club year
would run from November to No.
vember, all of these Offices were tenn
porary. In the fall of that year 4
more permanent organization was ef-
fected and the following officers were
elected: Miss Mabel Royce, president:
Miss Betty P. Gibson, vice president;
Miss Mary Pfeiffer, secretary; Miss
Mae M. Davis, assistant secretary, and
Miss Selma E. Allen, treasurer.
AS the club became better estab-
lished. the plan of the meetings was
enlarged to include speakers from
time to time, but the emphasis re-
mained on technical discussions. Co.
operation, good fellowship, and the
encouragement of efficiency and high
standards among the members are the
obJectives of the group. While the
members meet to talk shop and ex-
change ideas in the winter months,
during the summer they get together
for picnics and other more frivolous
amusements.
They are particularly proud of the
fact that all of their meetings are
called to order with a gavel. made
especially for the club by a l5-year-
old boy. Porter Lane Mattox, jr.
The present officers are: Miss Ethel
Gass. president; Mrs. Jennings Law
Ter, vice president; Miss Emma Bay
liss. secretary; Miss Catherine CAL
loway. assistant secretary. and Miss
