TASTE AND BASTE CLUB HAS
INITIATION SERVICES

of the Taste and Basic Club last
Wednesday, November 26, 1910, the
annual initiation services were held
In the auditorium of the high school.
This Initiation Service is the one
that has been adopted by the State
Home Economics Club of Maryland.
Its purpose is to show in a dramatic
way the aims and ideals of the club
to those who seek membership. The
following girls were received into the
club: Betty Ward, Barbara Lee Nor
ris, Wilma Jarman, Elaine Taylor,
Jeanne Stage, Jean Truitt, Mary Ann
Disharoon, Nancy Grant, Iva Phil
lips.
Following this very effective, can
delight service, the new members
presented a comical sketch lasting
approximately ten minutes. A poem,
read by Iva Phillips, preceded the
sketch.
Refreshments were served to
guests and members after which the
evenings activities were brought to
a close.
MOVIES
On Wednesday, November 81, 1910,
the movie Cadets Cruise" was
shown. It showed the life of coast
guard. He does not have all work.
He has some recreation. The coast
guard goes on sightseeing trips at
ports. There are dances on board
. ship. The movie was short, but in
teresting.
On Friday, November 20, 1910, the
movie, "Trees and Men" was shown.
It showed the trees from the time it
was cut down until it was made into
different articles. After the tree is
felled it is taken from the woods by
sled. Then it is loaded on a train by
a crane. 1t comes to the river and
there is dumped. The lumber next
is poled downstream to the mill.
There it is cut into logs and loaded
on trains and carried to manufacture
ing plants. There it is made ready
for use.
Timber is a crop. 1t must be cared
for like any other crop. We Amer
leans have not realized it until it is
almost too late. We have destroyed
our forests carelessly. We often
cause fires. Today we have only
1920 900 acres of forests left. Our
trees are rotting.
To keep in practice, the lumber
jacks walk erect on logs and balls in
water. Often contests are held. This
movie was very interesting. It was
enjoyed by the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades. They learned very much
from it.
KNOW YOUR LIBRARY
By N. Sherwood Ferris, Jr.
Books too general to be placed else
where in the library are found in this
class. This includes books on the
library and how to use it, encycloped-
.dias, bound magazines, and books on
journalism. Through this article we
hope to help the student find inter-
'esting and useful material in this
class of books which he may have
overlooked.
First let us consider "The Chill
uren's Book On How To Use Books
and Libraries" It is in "new" con-
dition now. The Library of course
likes to keep it's books in good condi-
ton, but the primary purpose is to
have them we'll read. This books
card shows no use at all.
am afraid the "Children's" part
of the title scares off would-be read
ers. Don't let it scare you. While
it is addressed to younger children,
people of high school age could well
profit from reading it. The book
gives expert instruction on the use
of books and libraries and the main
points are brought out by amusing
illustrations.
All of you could profit by this
book, so if not for information, "just
for fun" let's all read "The Chill
dren's Book On How To Use Books
and Libraries"
Next let's consider the books on
journalism. Three of the five books
show no use at all, the other two
surprisingly little. All of you inter-
ested in journalism as a life work,
here is a gold mine of information
written by experts.
Third in the general section come
the encyclopedias. I am sure that
you are all acquainted with these.
Why don't you use them more? There
are other valuable books in this Sec
ton too just as good as those dis
cussed here. Read them also!
