Amongst eminent speakers, Laurel Hall has had Mr. and Mrs. John Kendrick BANGS, Mr. Peter Clark MacFARLANE, Dr. Henry CHUNG, Mrs. Anna L. SAYLOR and Mrs. Elizabeth McMANUS. A concert by Miss Blanche Hamilton FOX, and two dramatic readings by Miss Jean Campbell MacMILLAN were given.
Although not a civic club, Laurel Hall has not been remiss in civic
duties, and has sent representatives whenever called upon. Members have
served upon juries, and have been interested in the Naturalization Court
and in the Women's Court. We have had to Americanization programs, and
have gladly contributed to the Alice FREDERICKS Memorial Fund.
The club members have furnished several programs, one of the best being their "Jury Experiences."
Laurel Hall realizes the great value of study sections, which develop
all into active members and make them feel their individual responsibility
to the club. Study sections also from (form) closer
friendships amongst members, and thus a stronger club spirit develops.
The sections of the past year have been a Current Topic section in conjunction with the California Club, under the direction of Mr. Sidney CORYN; a Poet's Corner, led by Mrs. G. W. HAIGHT; and an Oral Expression Class under the direction of Miss MacMILLAN of the University Extension faculty. The Social Service section has contributed to the various charities, both local and foreign.
The increase of membership has been 108 members, totalling 230.
