Chicago Nature-Study Club 



The officers of the Chicago Nature-Study Club for 1914-1915 are 

 as follows: 



President, Dr. H. S. Pepoon, Lake View High School; Direc- 

 tor: Grant Smith, Chicago Normal; Secretary-treasurer, Mary 

 Powers, Haines Practice School. 



North Side Section — Chairman, Frederick W. Plapp, Carl 

 Schurz High School; Secretary-treasurer, Mary V. Donoghue 

 Stewart School. 



West Side Section — Chairman, H. B. Shinn, Carl Schurz High; 

 Secretary-treasurer, Elizabeth Dimmer, Andersen School. 



South Side Section — Chairman, Rebecca Freeman, Taylor 

 School; Secretary-treasurer, Sue J. Reid, Revere School. 



"Union Trips" were made during the fall to Glenn Ellyn, 

 September 26, Leader, Dr. Moffat; Beach, Oct. 12, Mr. Plapp, 

 Mr. Shinn; Tremont, October 24, Mr. Warrallo Whitney. 



There was a good attendance for each trip. Tremont was best 

 of all, in spite of rainy weather. 



The Chicago Nature-Study Club has a series of meetings 

 planned for winter months — first meeting was held November 14 

 at City Club. The meeting was an informal affair preceded by 

 luncheon served in room where meeting was held. Five minute 

 (or less) talks were given by Mr. Whitney, Miss Freeman, Miss 

 Reid, Mr. Hornbaker, and others. 



The second winter meeting will be held next Saturday at City 

 Club, 2 p. m., preceded by one o'clock luncheon for all who so 

 desire, 75 cents a plate. 



Many rather liked the idea of luncheon in connection with 

 monthly winter meetings as they seemed to think good feeling 

 and congeniality are thereby promoted among the members of 

 our organization. 



Dr. Pepoon presided November 14, and he is certainly a good 

 presiding officer and toastmaster, if one might presume to use the 

 term in connection with such an informal affair. 



Mr, Whitney (Bowen High) will give his lecture on Forestry at 

 December 12 meeting.
