LIBRARY H Our library staff is a most privileged group, for they are exempted from their English examinations. The seven lucky students were chosen by our librarian, Miss Harris. To qualify as a student librarian, one must maintain a scholastic average of B or above. Their duties consist of checking out books, stamping, lettering, and filing new books, and keeping the library in order. To our library of approximately 1500 volumes there have been added, this year, almost 100 new books consisting of fiction, stories of World War II, and reference material for all school subjects. ANNUAL STAFF The record of past and future events, in the lives of the Seniors, required all of the resources of the annual staff but after nearly three weeks of work they were able to relax and return to a normal life. During this time most of the staff members performed tasks only remotely connected with their assignments, but this revealed more clearly the versatility necessary in composing an annual. For example, the business manager, Charles Moats, doubled as layout artist while Norma Gene Hall’s experience in trimming and arranging snapshots is a start in a photographic career. The annual staff wishes to thank Miss Harris and Miss Simmons for their prodigious cooperation and guidance. THE STUDENT COUNCIL 1? The student council is composed of eight students and the principal. One boy and one girl is elected by each class to become a member of this body. The council this year consists of Vera Moseley, William Kenley, Wilma Stanford, Jim Bokenkamp, Roberta Rule, Norman Moseley, Doris Bissey, and Neal Warreq. Neal Warren was elected president, Jim Bokenkamp, vice-president, Doris Bissey, reporter, and Wilma Stanford, secretary. The members of this group discuss and make recommendations which will improve school citizenship and help students achieve their aims.
