LIBRARY CORPS President Norma Hfavey J ' ice President Margaret Johns Secretary Pegg ’ Hammile Treasurer Staneev Masters Tlie ScnioT Class can leally feel that this club belongs to them because it ’as staited in their sophomore year. With the leadership of Miss Richmond, who also came to A.H.S. in 195,‘b it has become an important group in our school life. There are about thirty members from all classes who gi c one study period a ' week to help in the library. It gi es tbem a chance to learn library procedure and skillful use of library facilities at the same time they are helping their fellow students. Once a month a general meeting is held to plan club projects and acti ities. Indi idual committees are at work all the time to keep the library running smoothly, to see that the btilletin boards are decorated, and that the library gets adecpiate pidrlicity. Each year the Corps has sponsored projects to benefit the school, incltiding the memorable candy sale. The most sitccessftil teas the 2 ,ala Book Fair of 1955, featurins: a book exhibit, a book sale, and interesting special exhibits. Members work hard but it’s not all work and no play. In 195.5 the club was entertained by the Lexington High Library Club, and there is an annual outing. This year the club had a big Christmas party in the libraiy. Twenty-fou,

DRAMATIC CLUB This year the Arlington High Dramatic Chib presented for its annual production, The Ghost Train, a thriller- diller mystery comedy in three acts. The play was pre- sented Friday evening, January thirteenth, at the Junior High East auditorium. A special matinee performance was given Thursday, January twelfth, for all junior high and grammar school students. Thanks to the undying efforts of our fine director, Mrs. Sampson, The Ghost Train was a tremendous success. In March we entered the competition of the Massachu- setts Regional Drama Festival. The Drama Festival is an annual event comprised of a number of different schools each presenting in competition a one act play. From this group two are chosen to present their plays along with others at the John Hancock Building in Boston. Again, two winners are chosen, but this time to represent Massa- chusetts in the New England Drama Festival. Having closed the doors on a very successful and fruit- ful year, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all faculty and student managers, without whose assistance our success would not have been possible.

Tlie Read, Review, and Talk Club is an informal group whose main purpose is to bring together those students who enjoy both reading and discussions. Under the name “Book Reviewers,’’ this club originated a few years ago at A.H.S. The club meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of e ery month at Rohbins Library. Miss Grace Richmond, the A.H.S. Librarian, and Mrs. McQuaid, the young peoples’ Librarian at Robbins, are present at each meeting and help keep everything running smoothly. A cozy at- mosphere is added by the serving of refreshments during the discussion. On alternate meetings book reviews are given by four members. These reviews are usually on very new books, some of which are so recent they have never been cata- logued. Often copies of one book are given to several people to read, and at the next meeting each person gives his opinion of the book. This type of discussion always proves to be very interesting. At other meetings movies are shown, some for pure en- joyment and others for discussion. These movies range from teen-age problems to African hunting. This A.H.S. Club has succeeded in giving every mem- ber the opportunity to express his own ideas and feelings. R. V. T. CLUB T icenty-five
