LIBRARY One of the brightest spots in the school is the library located in the back of the study hall. Containing everything from The Last Days Of Pompeii to Hopalong Cassiday, it was classified as a major project by the state school inspector. This year's students have the full benefit of the filing system which was put into operation last year by Miss Toby and several students who helped with the cataloguing of the books. With the Dewey Decimal System, a student may find the book he desires either by author, title, or topic. A list is written on the blackboard each day of those who have books due that day or overdue. This is a service to the student, who therefore returns the book quickly and is not so likely to lose it. By the same reasoning, more people get the use of each book. Much credit goes to Miss Toby for getting the ball rolling to get the library set up. This year the library staff was supervised by Miss Toby the first semester and by Mrs. Lawrence the second semester. Librarians are Norma Staley, Betty Thurston, Barbara Howard, Jean VanSickle, Lyleth Gale, Mildred Hatten, Christine Eckard and Helen Boring. Alternates are Rheda Shults, Avis Selanders, Jane Knauber and Susan Spafford. The efficient work of these girls is an important service to the school.

Early September found the chapter's officers installed for the engineering of a largr- organization comprised mainly of froshies and sophies. Under the guiding eye of busy teacher-superintendent, R. B. Warner, the chapter has displayed proficiency in training future citizens, farmers and leaders by handling chapter business. Digging a water main inlet for the school lunchroom and an organized pest hunt showed the civic spirit of the boys. Good farming was installed in their minds by participating in the county corn grow- ing contest in which the winners were rated according to yield, the application of organic matter, weed control and the keeping of records. As good farmers raise good livestock, these boys were taught recognition of good animals through the annual stock judging contest and by observing the world's best live- stock as did Wayne Gale, Daniel Thurston and Dale Benedict at the International Livestock Show in Chicago last December. The F. F. A.er's learn to express their thoughts while standing before others. When eight boys entered the district parliamentary procedure contest, they had a fine experience in learning to speak before strangers. Time will perhaps prove that agriculture is the richest class they could have taken. The boys are making big plans for the annual judging contest in June. Serve the soil and the soil will serve you. 32
