The motto is By Our Efforts We Hope To Risef, The colors are green and gold and the flower is the yellow mum. The purpose of the Library Club is to help create a quiet, peaceful and restful en- vironment for the students and teachers who wish to use the library for browsing, study and research. Some of the activities of the club members are: 1. The members become familiar with the books by shelving them according to fiction and non-fiction which includes the Dewey Decimal System. 2. Passes are checked for accuracy. 5. The Periodical room is ready at all times for reference materials. 4. The members also assist with the cir- culation of books. Through this the club mem- bers learn to appreciate good literature and relate to other students their knowledge con- cerning the placement of books and other materials found in the library. 157
