Every movment tha has meant the betterment of the commun ity has been promoted. The organiza tion of the Junior club, which is com posed of about forty young ladies and which is sponsored by one of the club members, has been one of the biggest achievements. The future Lawrence ville club woman will be a trained club woman, according to these en thusiastic young women. The club has added very materially to its treasury by serving the weekly luncheons to the members of the Ki wanis club. Through the instrumen tality of the Kiwanis club and others, it has a splendid clubhouse, which it has made into a regular “community club house.” In addition to these im provements, each department! and divisional chairman has done some- thing worth while. Constitution Day Celebrate*!. The department of American citi zenship, Mrs. W. T. McGee chair -'an, began its activities by celeb ins: “Constitution day” in a most splendid way, speakers for the occasion being Professor C. O. Stubbs and C. E. Monfort, of the city schools. This de partment also secured Mr. Monfort for a series of lectures on “Citizen ship.” “The Edward Bok peace plan” was presented before the club by the president and voted on. The club ease a “straw ballot” for president, Mc- ( Adoo leading the ticket. The club has a 100 per cent regis tration and all members took active part in both city election and demo cratic primary. One of the members was a member so Mr. McAdoo’s cam paign committee and another member is on the state democratic committee. The civics committee has been very active, having planted a number of dogwood, crepe myrtle and water oak trees on courthouse square. Other spats in town are being made attrac tive with flowers, the business men cooperating by planting flowers around the business block. Land scape Gardener Harvey has made outline of work to be done on campus and clubhouse grounds and work will be begun at an early date, various organizations cooperating. This com mittee sponsors a chrysanthemum show annually. A rest room is also maintained by this committee. Arbor day was observed with a very appro priate program by the senior class of the public school. Many trees were planted. One memorial tree was planted. At a later date trees will be ilanted along the highway. The de partment of applied education has done exceedingly well. Mrs. C. 0. Stubbs is chairman. During children’s book week, this committee urged all schools to parti cipate. The teachers of the public school cooperated by . haviag special story hours and posters illustrating famous children’s books. A program was given, the P. T. A. cooperating. A most interesting number was "Liv ing Pictures,” characters from fa mous children’s books being represent ed. A silver tea was given, also a book shower. A number of children’s books were given and a nice sum of (Continued oik Page Two LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, MONDAY, MAY 26, 1924 ANNUAL ADDRESS TO WOMAN’S CLUB BY MRS. BAGWELL Four years of service as President of the Lawrenceville Woman’s Club have been completed. It has been four years of development, achieve ment, happiness, for all who have carried forward the program of ad vancement which has put our club among the women's organizations working for the betterment of life. As president, it has been my privi lege to serve the Woman’s Club, with the exception of the time of my ill ness with my entire strength. Always, it has been my pleasure to respond to every call for advice or aid and I have felt that the loyal, ty and cooperation of the members of the club and th,e beautiful spirit of sacrifice always shown in our un dertakings were my inspirations. The entertainment oi the Ninth District of Federation of Women’s Clubs, will bring to a climax the strenous work of the past year and I am sure will place our club before the eyes of the whole state of Geor gia. Our membership has increased each year and we feel that we have had a part in helping the Kiwanis Club carry on Its ap.’endid work, by our spirit of cooperation. We have the distinction of moth ering the only Junior Club in the Ninth District, which is being spon sored by Mrs. T. A. Smith, one of our club members. A beautiful avenue of trees is one of our best gifts to the town, and when we view the beautiful new school building we like to feel that we helped to put across the bond is sue that made it possible. A rest room in the central section of town is maintained by this club, which has meant so much to the traveling public. Tallulah Falls school, the Federa tion’s own child, and which is locat ed in the Ninth District, has had a large support from us, having sent SIOO.OO, besides a supply of beauti ful towels only very recently. The library in our own school was given $35.00 and o. $25.00 set of books, besides many other volumes. OUr club room in the Kiwanis building is being equipped. It has been our pleasure to pre sent many out of town speakers, and we have appreciated and found use for much home talent. Our ministers always being so gracious to respond to our calls in our various programs, on Literature, Music, Health, Home Economics, Education, Library Ex tension, Forestry, etc. The El son Art Exhibit, which was partly sponsored by our club, was an inspiration to the town. A hand some picture, a copy of the Rheims cathedral, will be presented to the school library as a result of this ex hibit. Our music has been unusually in-j spiring, the study of American mu sic and the operaiogue, “II Trova tore,” being two of the most import ant features of this year’s work. An annual Chrysanthemum Show is one of our achievements, creating an interest ir. beautiful flowers. Tree planting has been stressed and large numbers have been plant ed, it being out desire and ambition to make this the ‘‘Crepe-Myrtle-Dog. wood City.” Many trees in our town that have a historical significance in the town’s history are being preserv ed. Having recognized for a long time that the press was a thing that “made the wheels go round” we have made use of our county papers, through the courtesy of both editors, to broadcast the work that we are do ing. Many write-ups have appeared from time to time on the Club page of the Atlanta Constitution as well as others of our capital city. A prize' for best publicity work in the Ninth district was won by our efficient 'chairman, Miss Peeples. Georgia Products Week, made state wide by Ex-Gov. Hardwick, was a success in Gwinnett county and was sponsored in I.awrenseville by our club, your president being chairman. Better Homes Week, a nation wide movement, was a splendid success, your president being appointed by Sec. Hoover. No prize was won, but a lovely note of appreciation and commenda tion having been received from the editor of the Delineator. The club sponsored the movement for Children Founder’s Roll, which was a success, there being 34 en rolled. I could still tell you many things! LAWRENCEVILLE WELCOMES CLUBS Lawrenceville as host to the Con vention Federated Women’s Clubs of the Ninth District feels herself hon ored.

Woman’s Club, Junior Club, Parent-Teacher Ass’n. MRS. BRANTLEY STRESSES CLUB INSTITUTES TO BE HELD IN SUMMER Before the clubs close the meet ings for the year I would like to stress the fact that two club insti tutes are to be held this summer, one at Mercer university for the training of women in civic leadership, and the Georgia federation will take a definite part in this institute for the time assigned them for the training of women along the lines of club work, club ethics, club courtesy, club organization and club ethics. The part assumed by the federa tion will be presided over by Mrs. Nichols Peterson, of Tifton, as gen eral chairman. The institute at the state universi ty at Athens is, strictly speaking, a dub institute with its object the training of women in club work, club courtesy, club organization and club ethics. The outline of the work is that prescribed by the federation and is the same as was used by Mrs. Winter in the club institute she con ducted at Chatauqua last summer. The executive board of the Georgia federation has had in mind in ar ranging for these wonderful insti tutes to put the advantages of both within the reach of everybody and it is earnestly hoped that the club women over the state will avail themselves of the excellent advan tages these institutes will offer. Mrs. Lamar C. Rucker is chairman at the University of Georgia and Mrs. H. Y. Russell of the Mercer institutes. we’ve done but time forbids and I would like to present the Ninth Dis trict Club pregram to you. We especially urge every member to do what they can to make this meeting a sucoess, and to spread the news of the club’s Fine Art Exhibit, which means anything done with the hand. As for the last time as president of the club, I would like again to express my sincere appreciation of favors and friendships from the best people in the world, the P. T. A.'s, Junior Club, Kiwanis Club, Mayor and Council. In giving into the hands of my successor I pledge to her the same loyalty and spirit of cooperation that has characterized the spirit of the club during my presidency, and I know that the eternal debt of ma turity to childhood and youth shall surely be paid if we continue to give our intelligent thought and pull to gether. “Still we build on Life’s ways, On the wrecks of yesterdays Knowing ever that we stand In the hollow of God’s hand.” I MRS. G. K. BAGWELL, K VJf.'V U ik b i.i,. N MRS. T. A. SMITH ORGANIZES LO CAL JUNIOR CLUB After attending the Biennial, m Atlanta last year, Mrs. T. A. Smith, who was the treasurer of the Law renceville Woman’s Club, went oaik home enthused with the idea of or ganizing a Junior club in Lawrence ville. On June 5, 1923, she called together the young girls of the town, at a little informal reception in her own home, and organized these charming young ladies into what is familiarly known now by the town as “The Lawrenceville Junior Club," and a little later federating them in the State and General Federation. These girls, numbering about thir. ty-eight in all, are quite young, ranging in ages from twelve or four teen to about twenty years—a hap py, wholesome, clean-minded little band of young womanhood, with a high sense of honor, and a very broad vision of purer ideals, with a longing to be up and doing, to ac complish something. Enthusiasm and activity are among their chief char acteristics. “Service” being their motto, they stand always ready and willing to respond to any call made upon them, and are untiring in their efforts to do their duty. The officers include: president, Miss Edna McKelvey; vice president, Miss Alma Reynolds; treasurer, Miss Corrie Belle Holt; secretary, Miss Bernice Williams; parliamentarian, Miss Mary Wil liams, The meetings are held the first and third Tuesdays in each month in the Comunity club house with the different committees appointed to carry out the club program, which is done with quite as much dignity as the grown ups. For the length of time since their organization, nave accomplished some good work. They have had parliamentary drills and are quite familiar with club eti quette. Last summer the girls served several lunches and suppers in a va. cant case next to the postoffice. Each one contributed to the “upper the necessary articles, making almost clear profit what they took in, there by realizing a neat litle sura for their treasury. Christmas week they sponsored a royalty play, “Myistrels of 1924”, directed by the T.arkin Dramatic company, and our receipts showed something over SBO.OO and after ex penses were deducted, the ba'ance was turned over to Prof. Stubbs to help on the curtain fund for the school auditorium stage. Christmas gifts were donated to the poor and warm clothing given to the needy. A goodly number of trays and flowers haw been sent to the sick in by the Junior club girls, notes of sympathy and letters of condolence written; and when several of the members have been ill in the hospitals, post card showers have been the result. At the October meeting of the lo cal Woman’s club our Juniors acted as hostesses on this occasion, serving delicious refreshments, and were very highly complimented by these ladies. They have recently cooked and served the Kiwanis club a boun teous feast, which was so thoroughly enjoyed by them that the girls were asked to serve the Kiwanians again at their next meeting which is in May. This money also goes into their treasury. On the 16th the club will have another lunch and supper in the case, the proceeds from which win be sent to the Tallulah Falls school fund. On the 11th of November (Armis tice Day) the Junior club sold the poppies for the Woman’s club. The girls made these poppies themselves and sold $22 worth on the streets of Lawreneeville. Everybody whom they asked bought a poppy or sever al. One of the merchants' bought enough for his window display. They received a nice note of thanks for the check sent the Legion from the sale of the poppies from Mr. Mc- Whorter, also one from Mrs. B. M. * Boykin expressing her appreciation. The Juniors are also rehearsing for a play which they will give at an early date for the benefit of the school curtain fund. And on Monday after Easter they gave an Easter egg hunt for the little children of the town. The president received the blanks for membership for the founders’ roll of Stone Mountain Memorial and Tuesday when the clftb met a num ber of them were asked for, and they are hoping to enroll every eligible BUY SCOUTS OF LAWRENCEVILLE Since Christmas the Boy Scouts of Lawrenceville have been organized and the full number of thirty-two taken into the troop and others are being prepared for the second troop. The city has furnished the organiza tion an adequate three room house for u meeting place which is being 1 equipped as follows: one room for meetings, one for library and ex hibits Hnd one room for workshop. The boys have been on several hikes which have proven very enjoyable to the boys. Plans have been perfected to spend the first night out on the camp Friday night and most of the boys are planning to go. The meetings up to the present time have been taken mostly by the Tender Foot examinations. More stress in the future will be placed on stories and an expression from the scouts. The boys have been given several opportunities to prove them selves scouts in helpfulness. All this service has been done freely and ef ficiently. The boys really enjoy an opportunity to be of service to oth ers. If you need anything ask a scout und if he doesn’t know he will find out. CHILDREN’S FOUNDER’S ROLL OF CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL Belott is given a list of the chil dren’s names and the ancestors whom thgy honor. This is by no means all of the Law renceville children who will send their names to be enrolled in the great Book of Memory. The committee from the Woman’s club was anxious to send in a list of names before Memorial Day, April 26, so made a hurried canvass of the town. They were not able to see everyone end some were n<?t ready to. send in their names We hope that our Founders’ Roll will soon contain every child in law renceville who wishes to help make this wonderful memorial and honor the name of a confederate soldier, whether an ancestor or not. Dr. Ashby Jones in a letter to the boy* and, girls, “Nowhere else in the world can a boy or girl buy as much for a dollar as by onroi’iing in the I Children’s Founder’s roll of the Stone I Mountain Memorial.

Yet I am hoping to see these future club women grow into greatness and achievement until they can boast of some of the ‘big* things which lie before us women, and it is not so far away after all—if we strive to stand ready to obey commands to ‘go over the top.’ “And now, in conclusion let me add on behalf of the Junior Club that we are looking forward to May 27th and 28th with much pleasure when the clubs of the Ninth district will meet with us.” ,-wt!! sire-. wi.v ** ISSUED EVERY MONDAY and THURSDAY LAWRENCEVILLE P. T. A. EQUIPS SCHOOIBUILD’G The Lawrenceville Parent-Teach er association has had for its princi pal aim during the years 1923-1924 the equipping of the new school building which was finished in 1923. A piano was bought for the new building in the spring of 1923, which 4ras paid for by the association. Teachers’ desks and window shade* throughout the entire building have' been furnished this term; a few, well selected pictures have been placed upon the walls; a bust of Shakerpeare given for the library; a few volumes added to the supply of books; a handsome velour curtain and hand-painted scenery have been purchased for the chapel stage.

A landscape gardener from the University of Georgia has made a survey of the campus and elrawn a plan for its arangement. This plan will be carried out as soon as it is practicable. One of the most in structive and cultural movements of our association was the placing on display in our school building of the Elson art exhibit. The exhibit was put on in March. A number of interesting programs have been given at the regular meet ings. Two especially helpful ones on health, including a speech by Dr. Faulkner.
