The students chosen to work in the library must have a satisfactory scholastic average at the time of their appointment and maintain this throughout the remaining years of high school. Each member has two periods a week except seniors who have only one in which to con- tribute their help. Among the many tasks are: writing of notices for over-due books, desk duty, stamping, pasting, shellacking of new books, and the care of the shelves. Since the students ot the Barry Avenue School are too young to care for their own library books, the Bellows squad members took over this responsibility. Besides assisting Miss Snow in her work, the students acquire experience which may prove valuable in the future. elif 5401621 Howard Barker, Shirley Carpenter, Michael Lorys, Arthur Frampton, Wilbur Garvin, Virginia Guthrie, Peggy I-lessler, Michael Forte, Vincenza Nicolais, and Ann Tunno, all members of the Senior Class, were presented Merit Award Sweaters at the annual Merit Award Assembly on February 15. Mr. Herbert Lidstrom, Chairman of the Merit Award Committee, made the presentations and congratulated these students upon having earned from thirteen to eighteen points by participation in extra-curricular school activities and maintaining satisfactory schol- arship. No more than tive points were accepted in any one field.

Qainfing V Each Monday a large group of enthusiastic young artists meets with Miss Palmer to express themselves freely with brush and pencil. This year the members have made pencil drawings, water color pictures, fashion sketchings, cartoons in ink, murals and portrait painting in oils. The work is of special interest because each composi- tion is entirely original in idea and is executed without assistance. The Club has no officers and holds no business meetings but directs its attention entirely to the various advanced methods of painting and sketching. I gypuzg A splendid opportunity is offered to those students unable to ioin regular classes to learn how to typewrite by joining this club. Students of grades nine to twelve receive an adequate knowledge of typing which stands them in good stead in other studies and in later life. They develop keyboard manipulation, letter writing, tabulation, envelope addressing, manuscript writing, book reports, menu typing and other work of a personal nature. The typing club, composed of eighteen members, has no officers as parliamentary meetings are deemed unnecessary. .4.nx.,..sarfef1 - N N N 3 1 Page 34

I E55 CIM if if The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils. -- The Merchant of Venice Shakespeare would find no cause for complaint in this year's Glee Club, for there is no member, that hath no music in himself. As in former years, the Glee Club has maintained its good reputa- tion by presenting extremely well balanced programs. During the Christmas season the singers assisted the Dramatic Club in creating an effective performance. ln May, the Glee Club took part in the Spring Music Festival, an annual event that has proved popular with the public. This concert was one of the most pleasurable of the year's events. map B005 The Bellows Scrap Book Club, organized by Mr. Zimmerman, brings together boys interested in collecting and exhibiting pictures as' well as acquiring information concerning athletic sports and hobbies. The requirement for joining is that each member shall prepare an individual scrap book. At each meeting, after a period of exchanging and Com- paring pictures, a member of the club presents an illustrated talk concerning his own specific hobby. This organization informs its members, not only on the sport and its rules, but the life and thrills that the participant enjoys.
