Its purpose, which is to create and maintain a higher standard of Christian character is being carried out very carefully. Bible study, under the direction of Mr. Odgers, is one of the out- standing features of the club. The Hi Y basketball team is another attractive feature. The club expects to give another play, A Dis- trict Attorney, some time in March. The boys also have the privi- lege of selecting ministers for the chapel exercises in the High SchooL There are about forty members at present, but all are hoping to enlarge this number very soon.

LEW! G0 GLW In the spring of 1920, a banquet was held in the cafeteria for all High School girls interested in Y. W. Club work: Plans were made for a club, but were not carried out during that semester. The following fall, the'High School Girls held a supper every two weeks at the Y. W., having social and business meetings. These were in charge of Miss Sara Smith and Miss Cornelia Crawford. The most important feature of the club was the forming of the nucleus for the Let's Go Club. - The year 1921-'22 was the most successful, year of the Let's Go Club. Miss Margaret Darling and Miss Florence Mae Steward have been the leaders. Some of the work done by the girls during that year was: Christmas baskets to Deservation children, making of an American flag which was given to the Y. W. C. A., Easter party for Day Nursery children, Thanksgiving basket, and girls to entertain the children at the Day Nursery and Children's Home once a week. The club was late in starting this year, but is having some very successful meetings, though the membership is small due to gradua- tion. A very interesting program is planned for the year 1923 and a large, active club is being looked fowrard to. This summer, Bona Mayhew and Frances Grogan were sent to Camp Nepahwan, Pennsylvania, as delegates to a large conference. Several fine suggestions were brought home to the Let's Go Club. The new officers for this year are very competent girls and with the members' aid the club is sure to be a real success. Forty-Eight .. ., . K ..

LIBRARY GLUE HQME. WGS GLW ' 4, ,,-,....ff ' f I I V ,..y ' F-mr' One of the phases of student activity in P. H. S. about which little is known is the work of the Student Assistants to the Librarian. At the beginning of each semester Miss Peters chooses several persons from the student body to assist her in carrying on the work of the library during the ensuing months. Each recruit is given the elements of library work. These assistants then take charge of a great deal of the routine work, thus giving Miss Peters the necessary time for carrying out the duties which re- quire the skill of a trained librarian. For the past three semesters Merle Casper, Sr. II., has worked in the library and has become a very faithful and efiicient librarian. Juanita Fisher, Sr. I., serves as an expert typist in the first two periods of the day, having charge of the individual student cards. Mildred Hiehle, Sr. II., has found time to lend her able assistance each afternoon during the present semester. Elizabeth Marsh, Sr. II., has had charge of the many book cards which P. H. S. students make out at the beginning of each year. Clifford Neal, Soph. I., a new-comer on the staif, has charge of the desk each morning from eight-thirty until the close of the first period, and part of sixth period. Elizabeth Ransell, Sr. II., is the other Libby's able assistant in the stock room. Cladys Sinclair, Sr. I., has faithfully given her services two periods each day, writing up the over-due notices. Kathryn Stewart, Jr. II., has charge of the desk during the third hour of the morning. Catherine Watson, Sr. II., assists during the fifth period. Fifty f-' us- P V 3,251 .. l The Club this year is very fortunate in having two new teachers, Miss McHenry and Miss Berkshire. The former came to us from Bluefield where she taught in the High School. During the summer she taught at the West Library Normal School, specializing in Foods. Miss Berkshire, the nursing teacher, came from the Dresden High School, Ohio, where she was a domestic science teacher. With the help of these teachers, together with the always useful suggestions of Miss Loy Mae Smith, we are very fortunate. The Home Economics Club this year has had only a few meetings, but in them topics of real interest was brought to our attention. The Club has for its purpose the development of the highest ideas of Womanhood, closer relationship between school and the home, developing the feeling of good will and fellowship among the members of the Club and other students of Parkersburg High School. The officers and the Club are elected each semester. Those now serving are: President ........ Vice President Secretary ..,....... Treasurer. ..... . Quill Reporter Bona Mayhew Merle Casper ..
