When the second year of the Library Club started, the members arranged the books in the Library accord- ing to the Dewey Decimal System. A pamphlet file was started and a metal cabinet was purchased for that purpose. A magazine rack and new magazines were purchased. The members put new book-pockets and due date slips in each book. The last year the library was all rearranged.

A show window was installed for the hobbies of stu- dents. A back section of the assembly was reserved for records and old magazines and newspapers. This corner is equipped with a counter and shelves and was not open to the student body. A new process was started. Projectors and recorders had to be checked in and out. The Library Club mem- bers took over complete charge of the duties of the library to relieve the study hall teachers. The name of the club was changed at the middle of the year by popular vote to The Book Worms.

This year, her first at Butler High, Mrs. Moody, a graduate of l.U., taught all the vocal music in the twelve grades plus music and art at Moore school. She also taught art to the first eight grades in Butler. Mrs. Moody organized several special groups. Several solos and ensembles entered the district contest at Fort Way'ne. 1.

Beginners' Band: lst row: Rosanna Berg, David Snyder, ,lames Sattison, Margaret Hathaway, Donna , Shirley Snyder. 7m Am Mr. Ashby taught art and mechanical drawing in the high school. One project was making the beau- tiful, lighted board used in the Hi-Y - Tri-Hi-Y in- duction service. The art class designed and painted the board, and the mechanical drawing class put it together. Mrs. Stage has been with us for many years doing fine work and this year is no exception. Several ensembles were organized and entered the contest along with the solos. The fine arts department of the school is sadly lacking in time, space, and equipment, but an effort is being made to improve its status. 3.
