CJFFICE AND LIBRARY STAFF This year the Library statt was kept very, very busy. They had the responsibil- ity ot being in charge ot and running the entire library, This consists ot checking books in and out, tiling magazine copies, and keeping new magazines on the racks in the study hall, Another task is in direct connection with the English ottice. That is to keep all those magazines and books in monthly order, And by the looks ot the piles ot them in there maybe it would be just as nice to be something else as be on that statt. Once, upon noticing that someone had set a bookcase on the tloor, mak- ing a little more than a path to walk in from one end ot the room to the other, lvlr. Portertield looked about, scratched his head and asked, What happened in here? l can't stand the idea ot so much extra spacel and moved in another tab'e to pile books on, Dorothy Johnson is head student librarian. Outstanding work in cataloging and marking books was done by three treshman girls, Ruby Froese, Margaret Gaede, and Charlet l-lerman. ' Our library is growing at the rate ot about one hundred books a year. lvlany ot the additions this year were in attractive tiction, ln the principal's ottice is an assisting statt under Lena Shultz, lvlr, Janes' sec- retary, who directs them in ottice work. Their duties are to keep the office records, write and distribute detention cards, keep the books tor the student tunds, tile absence slips, distribute notices to all classes, and help in any way they might to aid the secretary, l ' T T if I I iw' jj f 'Ul Page Twenty three

Mr. Janes The Ex Board this year passed the bills brought in by Mr. Janes, Mr. White, and Mr. Gates Most of these had to do with athletic equipment, This year, also, the Board created the position of business manager, and decided that the social chairman should assist him in the sale of tickets and in other matters. For the student body card drive, the Ex, Board decided upon a silver cup to be given the winner and kept permanently at the school, The name of the winning class and the year would be engraved upon its This year the Junior and Senior classes achieved lOO per cent, so both names were put on it. l-licks Day was attempted but turned out unsuccessfully because of conflicting dates. After football season was over, a football banguet was decided upon by the Ex. Board, to be given to the boys that played in any football game during the year. lt was given at the Congregational Church and was greatly appreciated by the boys, The success of the Student Body in its various activities this year has been reflected in the successful operation of its student government, Page Twenty-two

Miss Finck Some of the boys in this school certainly make lovely girls, and vice versa - especially Richard l-letz and Marian Harrison. ln the German Club play given at the first of the year, Richard l-letz played the part of a slightly stout German woman. lt might have been rather insulting to the girls, because we think the seats on the stage had to be widened to hold the little lady. Marian acted as a newspaperman. lVly, did she look great in Papa's clothesl The laugh was that Luella Klassen had to play two parts, and they didn't give her enough time to dress in between acts. So when she was to come in she wasn't there, and they had to do the whole act over-which the audience appreciated because it took up a little more school time, There were a number of other actors, some of whom were: Vivian Bartel, Luella and Elmer Dahl, Aletha Spitzer, Amanda Johnson, lvlarlien Neufeld, l.eola Kirschenmann, and l-lenry Janzen, The second feature on this program was a laughab'e skit with Rosie Unruh and l-lenry Janzen as the characters, Henry made poor Rose cry, when in the process of writing a letter he contradicted her statement that busy was spelled b-u-Z-Z-y. ln fact he went so far as to get her so entangled that not even his C. S. F, partner could spell it other than b i-s-e y. But at least you can't fool these folks on German words. Most of them even know the name of their club. Page Twenty four
