ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEEThe Entertainment Committee was pregnant with a

whole litter of suggestions when it held its meeting Fridayevening, and from the number of ideas that came intobeing the Scarab Club isn't going to want for recreationduring the present season. The President appointed arather large Entertainment Committee and thirteen mem-bers of the committee were present.

MEMBERS' SATURDAY NIGHTSFrom now on Saturday night is Members' Night at

the Club and after the work session, which ends at nineo'clock, something of the old festivity is to be revived.Subcommittees were appointed to insure proper entertain-ment and hospitality, as follows:

October—Scarabs Zahn and Walton.November—Scarabs Boutell, Woodhouse, Wood and

Donlon.December—Scarabs Rice-Wray, Piper, Packman and

Peters.January—Scarabs Netzorg, Bennett, Phillips and

Komarovsky.February—Scarabs Kennedy, McLean, Beck and

Sesser.March—Scarabs Hoskins, Wilkinson, Hake and

LaFond.April—Scarabs Leon Makielski, Lewis, Clark and

Burroughs.It is encumbent upon these subcommittees to restore

something of the old atmosphere to the Saturday Nightsfor members.

KENO PARTIESTwo keno parties will be held, one on Tuesday even-

ing, November 23rd, just before Thanksgiving, and oneon Tuesday evening, December 21st, prior to Christmas.They will be in charge of the subcommittees for theserespective months.

LADIES' NIGHTSSuggestions for Ladies' Nights include a variety of

activities such as musicales by Club members, bridgeparties and dancing parties. These will be placed in thecharge of individual members of the committee. Mr.Bendetson Netzorg and Mr. J. Cameron McLean willeach be invited to take charge of a musical evening. ToMr. A. D. Wilkinson is assigned the dance and to Mr.Harry Woodhouse is assigned a bridge evening.

'BARBECUEScarab Glenn Phillips and Mrs. Phillips have issued

an invitation to members and their ladies to visit themat their home at "Hillaire" and the Entertainment Com-mittee is in favor of accepting this invitation for an earlydate making it an old-fashioned bake and carry barbe-cue. It will afford a delightful autumn picnic in thecountry with all that that implies in the way of sceneryand other things.

THE BALLThe Entertainment Committee recommends to the

Board of Directors a ball of somewhat smaller propor-tions, primarily for the members and their friends, andit was thought advisable to limit the total number to

-three hundred couples. Each Scarab will be allowed toinvite only two additional couples and if there are anyboxes they will be sold to Life Members and invitedguests who have interests kindred to the Scarab Club.The Board will presently announce the date of the balland the committees.

LAYMEN'S LIFE CLASSThe Lay Members are to have an opportunity to

share in the work session if they express a sufficient desireto do so. A model will be provided for them on Mondaynights and one of the artist members will be present toguide the efforts of beginners. This is in line with theBusiness Men's Art Class in Chicago and other cities andit is hoped will afford the Lay Members a new field ofrecreation and a closer contact with the Club. Furtherannouncement with reference to this feature will be pub-lished in the next number of the "Scarab," after the LayMembers have been canvassed as to their wishes in thematter.

COMMUNITY CENTERS EXHIBITIONSAt the beginning of the fall exhibition season a resume

of the work done in the Community Centers Exhibitions oflast year will be the best basis of suggesting the new develop-ments and necessary requirements for this year.

The first exhibition was delivered to the Franklin StreetSettlement on December 24. 1925, and the second to the Chest-nut Street settlement on the same day. Since that time exhi-bitions have been sent to Grosse Pointe Community House,Ferndale High School, Royal Oak Women's Club, Tau BetaCommunity House, Sophie Wright Community House, andDearborn Public Library. These shows have been of two

general types, first those containing twelve to twenty smallpictures, prints and sketches with a total valuation between$100 and $250 and, second, those made up of ten to fortypictures most of which were the large, more important oilsand water colors and having a total valuation between $500and $10,000. One hundred and forty-five pictures were usedduring the year and thirteen pictures amounting to $401were sold. In connection with these shows four talks weregiven by artists and two well organized public receptionswere held.

To the person in charge of each of these exhibitions aquestionnaire was given and a resume of the answers tothese follows: that the exhibitions were very well receivedand all wish them continued: that, although the sales weresmall the first year, it is to be expected that they will increasegreatly during the following seasons, but that the educationalfactor is the most important and they are all most interestedin the exhibitions from that standpoint; that more featuresof an instructive nature such as lectures, program notes,etcetera, be included. Some of the groups desire only exhi-bitions of large pictures, said exhibitions to be held three or

four times a year and to run for a month or more. Othersare best satisfied with the smaller pictures and think thatthey should be run for two months with no interval between.

We have added fifty pictures to the list of those left fromlast year and have made arrangements with eight more civiccenters to hold exhibitions. This will necessitate a muchmore thorough organization of this activity and the employ-ment of some person who can spend at least three days aweek in handling all the various details involved, as well asa much greater co-operation between the artists and the per-son in charge of this effort. At least a hundred and fifty morepictures will be used as soon as they can be got together. Anyartist member who has pencil sketches, wood block or etchingprints or paintings in any medium and sizes ranging from 4x6

'to 36x48 inches should deliver them to the Clubhouse at once.An exhibition of forty pictures has been sent to Manistee,

Mich., and another is about to open in Dearborn. The othershows are to be. started between the first and fifteenth ofOctober and will include all of the larger settlement housesin Detroit and vicinity as well as leading clubs, libraries andcivic centers in the metropolitan area.
