Library Qlulv The Library club was organized in 1947 with the personnel of the library staff as mem- bers and the school librarian as advisor. Last year this club purchased three large beautiful framed pictures for the library walls and decorated the room with potted plants and hanging baskets. The members of the club care for the potted plants daily. This year the club ordered two statuettes, Mark Twain and Henry W. Longfellow from an art shop in the East. The club has subscribed for two magazines, Calling All Girls and Seventeen. These magazines will be put into circulation as are the regular high school publications, for the benefit of the entire stu- dent body. Oct. 28 the Library club entertained the first 40 students of SHUHS who signed with them at a skating party at Albany. The skaters were mostly underclassmen. The club raises money by selling candy bars at noon and after school. The money obtained from fines on over-due books all goes toward postage on books from the State Li- brary and for the purchase of new books. 10 Gilulv . 979 President - - Norma Latimer Vice President - - Esther Bennett Secretary - - Norma Wiley Treasurer - - Shirley Mabee Beetles - Eula Coulter Barbara Gabriel The Pep club was reorganized this year. During the football season the girls sold hot dogs, pop, candy, etc. At the beginning of the year they decided on having green skirts and white sweaters with a Huskie on the front and PEP on the back. For doing the work of selling they were given the letters and Huskie head for their uniform. During the basketball season the Letterman sold the refreshments and the Pep club was supposed to sit together and cheer. The Pep club tried to form a cheering section which didn't work out too well. Next year they plan to continue this club and plan on making it a very good club by dropping unworthy members and by having rules to live up to.
