AN APPRECIATIONWith the voluntary withdrawal of Frank Scott

Clark as President of the Scarab club after a periodof many years of unselfish and devoted service, webring to a close an epoch in art club history that isnot possible of duplication. After kaleidoscope shift-ing of scene from a loft on Gratiot Avenue, toGrand Circus Park, to temporary meeting quartersat the Addison Hotel, to a Woodward Avenue thirdfloor; and after many bickerings among its mem-bers, Frank Scott Clark became its unanimous choiceof the club for President at a time when its mem-bership was small and dissatisfied and its financesin a precarious condition, and by his able leadershiphealed the factional wounds, and built up a fine clubspirit with serious intent that has carried the clubto heights undreamed. His task was not an easyone. It was accomplished only by personal devotionand sacrifice. He was unfailing in his attendance atthe meetings and at the exhibition And took an act-ive part in all activities of the cluK He gave un-sparingly, not only of his time but of his means tothe furtherance of club purposes. With Mrs. Clarkhe always took the responsibility for the promotionof the Scarab Club Ball, and its financial successand the corresponding affluence of the club are di-rectly attributable to their untiring energy andmanagement . He inspired the confidence of men ofaffairs in the Scarab Club aims and many of thelarger financial contributions were secured throughhis good offices. From a "fly-by-night" art clubmoving from place to place we have been in a suit-able permanent home for three years and in less thanthat time the property is all paid for as are the in-come earning studios at the back, and we have a

property valued at upwards of 30,000 free and clearfrom all indebtedness.

Such is the achievement of the club under FrankScott Clark as President. But apart from beinga good club executive Frank is a hale fellow wellmet with just the personal qualifications suited tothe dignity of his office. When he entertains hedoes it royally and in such an "intime" way that hisguests long remember the occasion.

The insurgents first elected Frank president andhim unelected so that they could insurge against thethen always on the insurge, some of them wantednext president of the club. Well, that is not serious.The Scarab Club has probably no more of an insur-gent element than any organization of its kind. Forthe most part, the members of the club were loyalto Frank just as he has always been loyal to theclub. It is with keen regret that we see him laydown the burden of an office which he graces sowell, and there is no question but that with himgoes the friendship and esteem of the entire mem-bership.

CLYDE H. BURROUGHS.

This being the end of the Club fiscal year, it hasbeen decided to use this number of the Scarab toacquaint the membership with th* status of theClub.

It is impossible at this time to show a financialstatement covering the complete fiscal year, but thetreasurer's report from October 1, 1924 to March31, 1925 inclusive shows a healthy condition, and itis believed with Horace Boutell as guardian of thetreasury, we need have little fear of the balancebeing lost.

Instead of furnishing a report showing the num-ber of members now enrolled within the Club, weare printing the name, address and classification ofeach member. So many requests are made for listsof names and addresses of members that the Secre-tary trusts this copy of the Scarab will be pre-served for future reference.

Those who remember the list which used to hangon the bulletin board in the old club rooms will no-tice that the list has lengthened considerably.
