COVER TO COVER CLUB The Cover to Cover Club, the school's library organization, was started in the fall of 1955 so that students might learn about the arrangement and usefulness of libraries, serve in the library, and promote and share the pleasures of reading. The library club, for the junior high boys and girls, is arranged so that each member is sched- uled for regular periods at the circulation desk and other assigned duties. This enables the mem- bers to become better acquainted with the ar- rangement and dilterent functions of the library. Miss Mary Baker, the club adviser, contributes much to the smooth functioning of the library with the help of the club members.
