Lessons covering the many phases of work for which the girls would be responsible were studied. The duties of the girls in charge of the desk were shelving of books and magazines, making overdue notices, aiding students in locating reference ma- terials, and preparing bibliographies for teachers. Each girl was required to work in the library two periods a week and at the same time maintain passing grades. Sherri Wierson, president, and Judy Sawyer, sec- retary, led the group first semester. Sandy Peterson, president, and Carmen Catron, secretary, served as second semester officers. Mrs. Dickenson feels that the members of library club are giving a service to their fellow students and to their teachers.

Henry in its midst this year? Only time will tell; but if this is the case, he or she probably belonged to the sophomore Creative Writing Club. This group, or- ganized for the first time this year, had as its aims to improve their style of writing, to learn to give and receive criticism, and to find satisfaction in spontaneous writing. To be a member, students must have had in- terest as well as high grades in English. Sponsored by the sophomore English teachers, the club's officers were: Karma Schauer, president; and Ma- rion Quinn and Jane Andrews, recording chairmen. Beginning reporters are called cubs. From this word Cubs Club got its name. This organization, composed largely of sophomores this year, provided background and experience for stu- dents interested in journalism. The members spent time and energy in putting out the first issue of the second semester Web. This was the cubs' main project. At their meetings, usually held every other Thurs- day noon, the 28 cubs were taught the fundamentals of newspaper writing by their sponsor, Mrs. Charlotte Whitney. Officers of the group were Sue McFarland, president; Pat Carney, vice president; Sue Hetzel, secretary. Back: Jce Picken, Bob Ocst, Bruce Wood , John Walkup, Mike Nickcy, Mark Wat on, Rein Sara I.
