STORY OF BOOKS IS i Have you a thrilling mystery book? 1 Can you get me some samples of archi- tecture from the Renaissance Period? Where can I find the life HISTOFY of The grasshopper'? These queries, asked of Li- brary Club staff members, illustrate the varying interests of students who daily use the school's modern library. Established in i926 by Miss Marion Gratz, the small library with its hrst pioneer- ing staff, forerunners of today's L. C.'ers, has grown rapidly until it now boasts one of the finest collections of its kind. The ac- tive Library Club has sixty members, who make it their duty to help library patrons with anything from circulating books to finding the last season's record of the Bos- ton Red Sox. Here at Murray, L. C. has be- , come a recognized synonym for service .

During Book Week an assembly and o tea lent them- selves to the festive Mardi Gras theme. ln the meantime high-pressure L. C. sales- men made the rounds selling Christmas cards for the only money-making project. Outstanding displays per- taining to the school calendar were arranged for the exhibit case and bulletin boards by the publicity committee. The annual initiation provided an opportunity for new members to become acquainted with the old timers . Library Club auxiliary lessons began with zest in January, and before long the traditional banquet, where pins are presented to seniors who have fulfilled the requirements, closed the organization's roster of social activities. 1 l P 9 ' Y, vice president, Phyllis Johnson, secretary, Genevieve Kulenkamp, president, Paul Mielke, corresponding secretary. A special committee was organized to collect material relating to Minnesota's Territorial Centennial. A pioneer was the Library Club back in the good old days of Murray's youth . Its remarkable growth bears witness to the fact that from small, insignificant beginnings often come the finest things.
