THE CRAFT CLUB.
“Oh! girls, have you heard about the Craft Club? I just heard two Seniors talking about it, and from what they said, I am simply wild to become a member.”
This bit of conversation was overheard by a member of the Club, who,like all other members, was always ready to listen when any one took the name of our Club in vain.
Certainly every girl at Normal has met some member of the Craft Club, because you will find us flirting around everywhere, like the Oriole —trying to make people interested in us.
The objects of our club are: first, to get experience and obtain knowledge of various crafts; second, to assist other organizations of the Maryland State Normal School and the school as a whole, in carrying out their programs; third, to keep in touch with larger, similar, outside organizations as the American Federation of Arts; Metropolitan, Boston and Chicago Museums; Walter’s Art Gallery and others, through joining or visiting these various National Organizations; and fourth, to arrange for exhibits at M. S. N. S.
Doesn’t everyone remember what a wonderful exhibition we held last year? Why, of course you do and this year it is going to be even better.Besides the exhibition, we are planning to give a play, for which we will make our own scenery and costumes. Now, you must admit that sounds fine! Just imagine being able to say, "I painted those rocks," or "I designed that Greek costume.” Why there is no better feeling than to stand back and he able to say something like that! But that isn’t all we shall do, no indeed, we shall have an opportunity to make some special things for ourselves that we can keep to show our friends, and remember the dear old Craft Club of M. S. N. S.
Did some one whisper, “What do I have to do to become a member of the Craft Club?” My, what a simple question! The only membership qualifications are that you must be connected officially with the Maryland State Normal School. You must be able to attend all the meetings regularly, more than two absences other than illness, disqualifies a member. But that isn’t hard because you become so Interested that you will weep if you have to miss a meeting.
Oh! me; 1 most forgot to tell you one of the most important things, land one I am sure every one will agree on; it concerns a little brown leather case that has a bad habit of growing flat every now and then guess what, girls! We don’t have to pay any dues, but we meet incidental expenses through assessment of members by a majority vote. Much better, isn’t it?
Do we have hikes? Why, most assuredly we do! And we have the best roasted spuds and fried bacon that can be found anywhere. But, 1 guess I had better bring this to a close because there will soon be no room available for any one else in the Oriole's nest!

"I’ve seen Alice walk home from
many an auto ride.”
“That’s nothing! I’ve seen Peggy swim home from many a motor-boat ride! ”
First Frater: “Met a fraternity
brother and gave him the grip."
Second Frater: “What did he do?”
Third Frater: "Oh, he went with it to the hospital."
