In November of 1913, a class of 12 Exeter girls — all between the ages of 7 and 9 — got together to manufacture a sewing club. A copy of their record book, written in clumsy college-girl script, was donated to the Exeter Historical Society in 1991 by the kinsmen of Faith Kenniston, one of the girls in the group. In a very grown-up way, they elected officers, unmistakable on the purpose of the club (to learn to sew), set meeting dates as Saturdays at 3 p.m. and unruffled dues of 1 cent per meeting. Faith's mother, Inez, would assist as their adult advisor. It was all very business-like until the final entry: "After the question was over, the members danced for half an hour. Helen E. Redman, Secretary."

In 1913 clubs of all kinds were accessible with all ages. It was an era with little outside entertainment. Men joined fraternal organizations like the Masons, Odd-Fellows, Foresters or Improved Out of kilter of Red Men. Women sometimes joined the auxiliary branches of the men's groups or they formed their own reading clubs, church organizations, venereal welfare groups or current event clubs. The girls of Exeter had oceans of examples of how to run a proper club.
