THE BUTTERFLY’S TRAIL
r/ By Albert Mary Thweatt
Mv! My! how time does fly! It seems only yester¬
day that everyone was wondering who the new principals
would be. Now these newly appointed principals, Mrs.
VVline Grant Edv irds, Mrs. Rubve Gadson and Miss Me-
tella Mtiree are about to end a most successful year.
Congral ulations to them and our Consultants, Mrs.
Rosemary Jackson, Miss Frankie Golden, and Mrs. Jean-
ijie.a no Horne lor the fine work they have done. The
Art Interest group under the supervision of Consultant
gear’s Rosemary Jackson had a summary and evaluation of the
work. 1 here was an exhibition of work done in
Che areas in which the teachers and pupils studied. A
found table discussion was held on the value of the Art
nroram as it had been conducted this year and plans tor
A'ith improvement. Mrs. Jackson was pleasantly surprised
freshments an appropriaje card and a lovely handkerchief. Re¬
were served.
The last meeting of the Reading Interest group un-
per i he supervision of Miss Golden was in the form of
a demonstration at Springfield Terrace by one of the
fhird grade reading groups. The progress of these chil¬
dren was remarkable. Of special interest was the amount
of outside reading done by the children and the number
bf choral ■ selections learned. All of the teachers in this
group took the Iowa Silent Reading test which helped
bne analyze his .own difficulties in reading. Each teach¬
er wrote stories suitable for her own children. Refresh¬
ments were served by the school.
f The Music Interest group under the supervision of
Mrs. Jeanniebelle Borne also rounded out an interesting
hnd successful year having worked on an area that would
make a well rounded musical child. They followed a
Seven Point Program and covered most of the points.
There was an evaluation of the year’s work at the last
meeting.
* The Science Group with Miss Magdalene Harrison as
leader, summarized their work after a very interesting
term. Miss Harrison made many worthwhile and inter¬
esting contributions to the group also Mr. Dixon who wars
fulviser to the group.
Wonderful classroom plans made by teachers and
Children manifested themselves in the Summary Program.

MBS studio3 in New York while
she was preparing for a “Quick As
a Flash broadcast, she told me
that she oftentimes finds that dis-
carded dresses or blouses will yield
a variety of buttons that can bo
effectively used in a number of dif-,
ferent ways. For example, one of’
Gwen's dresses, no longer wear¬
able, was ornamented with a per¬
fectly beautiful set of La Mode but¬
tons, so she put her imaginative
ingenuity to work and created a
corselette to glamorize the new
minimized midriff so popular this
year. Fashioned of green grosgrain
ribbon four inches wide, she has
placed her buttons at even intervals
at both ends of the ribbon and
Interlaced them with narrow green
velvet ribbon—a perfect trick to
perk up an otherwise drab costume.
You’ll find that buttons are not
only high-fashion on luxury fabrics
such as taffetta and moire, but arej
also charming on ginghams and
linens. Met’al buttons too, are in'
fashion's upper brackets. You might'
try sewing a group of four large:
ball buttons at even intervals from!
center front to center back on a,
straight piece of felt three inches
wide and two inches longer than
your waist measurement. Surrounu|
the large buttons with small ball
buttons and —- —.......=- sew single buttons --------
between the groups. Adjust the belt
to the desired size and attach dot,
snappers or, if you wish, hook and,
eyes.
