The Wednesday Club.
On Monday the eleventh of January 1904 seven Sandy Spring girls met at the Tanglewood to form a Literary Society to be known as the Wednesday Club. We decided to meet every other week on the day from which it derives its name at three o'clock, in alphabetical order of the homes of the members. We asked the neighborhood girls whom we thought would especially care to join us, and any others who wished to could apply for membership. For the present the number of members was limited to twenty. Helen Thomas was made

2nd Meeting
The second meeting of the Wednesday club met at Norwood on the 20th of January, with eight members present.
It was decided that a secretary was necessary, so Virginia Stabler was asked to act in that capacity.
The committee of Programs reported that they had thought it would be interesting to take up some of the countries of Europe and study the history, architecture and people. Spain Holland and Italy were mentioned.
The committee was continued with the addition of Alice Farquhar, to take more definite steps.
