LIBRARY STAFF The library at our high school is one of the favorite places of the students. Some of the things found in the library are books, both fiction and reference, current magazines, and the daily newspaper. It is each student's privilege to use the library for necessary school work as well as for his own enjoyment. Mrs. Browning is in charge of the library and each period stu- dent librarians are on hand to help other students find the desired books and keep the library in a neat order. STUDY HALL Study Hall is a room where every one goes to study when they are not in classes. There are eighty-five seats, and our libra- ry is located at the front of the room. We have a wide variety of books and reading matter. Our seating arrangement is very simple. The seniors sit in the row next to the windows, next is the juniors, then sophomores, and last but not least the freshmen. G. A. A. The Girls' Athletic Association organized in October.

SPORTSMANSHIP Keep the rules. Keep faith with your comrade. Keep your temper. Keep a stout heart in defeat. Keep your pride under a victory. Keep a sound soul, a clean mind and a healthy body. Play the game. O ATHLETE'S CODE All of the- moral values, and desirable character traits that are inherent in athletic contests may well be grouped under the heading, Athlete's Codefl The Athlete's Code endeavors to make all athletes try to live clean, be clean, and act natural. A good athlete will not smoke or do anything to hinder his athletic ability. During an athletic contest a player should be clean in his manner of play. On the floor he should also be clean in his maner of speech.

THE SAXOPHONE QUARTET The saxophone quartet consisted of Bob Nowers, baritone sax: Patty Thornbrugh tenor sax: Dwaine Dynes, E flat alto sax and Phyllis Decker, first E flat alto sax. Phyllis Decker was the only remaining player from last year's quartet, the other three started this year. Because of Mr. Vitto's excellent instruc- tion, the quartet was very successful. This year it won first place in the district, and also first in the state music contest. ANGLE SHOT This photograph of the band was taken of the gymnasium. It from the balcony shows the band in action. The band went to Moline this year and ranked second di- vision. The annual spring concert was a huge success. Mr. Vitto is very sorry to lose eight band members this year. but he is filling their places with students who will carry on extremely well. We are sure that the seniors will miss playing in the band after they have graduated. MEMORIES The annual formal Valentine dance was held in the high school gymnasium Feb- ruary 14. This event was sponsored by the Student Council. The gymnasium was decorated beauti- fully by the Student Council members, with a red and white false ceiilng.
