Library Council explored the World of books Library Council Secretary Ellen Brinkworth Vice President Marie Menlo and President Barbara Leonard sort books for shelving Based on the premise that reading is the key to a well-developed person- ality, the Library Council seeks to instill in its members an awareness and appreciation of books as a means to a greater satisfaction and fulfillment. By giving their time to library service, members gain valuable knowledge and experience in the administration of the library. Girls also are given the privilege of reading the new, best-selling books first in return for their service. In addition to participating in lively panel discussions, skits, and programs at their bi-weekly meetings, members celebrate National Book Week and Catholic Book Week. For the first time this year, seniors and juniors of the library council joined in presenting a program for the Mothers' Guild. Helen Maclnness' best-seller The Double Image and Art Buchwald's sharp satire on governmental workings Son of the Great Society formed the basis for two skits presented by the girls. The members of the club are looking forward to making such a program an annual presentation.

Members attended monthly meet- ings which were enlivened by stimulating discussions, provoca- tive guest speakers, and interesting films. The successful school- wide tutoring program, inaugurated last year, once again yielded encouraging results. In late November, new members received yellow roses, the Societyis flower, at the annual induction cere- mony held in the auditorium. Something new was initiated in April as Bergen Catholic and Holy Angels NHS members spon- sored a joint panel discussion entitled uThe Generation Gapf, In an attempt to bridge this gap separating the generations, parents, professional people, and the students themselves all participated in a lively exchange of ideas. The tireless staff of Blueprint received the reward of much hard work when the NHS-sponsored literary magazine copped First Place at the CSPA convention held at Columbia University. 35
