She it is whose plans and suggestions enable the various "committees" to function properly and lead the Club to triumphant climaxes. As it is quite necessary that Club have funds, the members decide to hold a rummage sale. From the proceeds of this sale the Club purchases a bicycle for a boy member, whose folks had met with financial reverses. The Club also plans a Thanksgiving dinner for the poorer element of the town who live "down near the track". For this they use the balance of their funds.
