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.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER BANQUET Nearly 2.00 guests were entertained at the annual Mother and Daughter Banquet held October 26, 1949. After a delicious meal was served, Mrs. Esther Davis welcomed the guests. .Tean Carper offered a toast to the Mothers, and Verda Borchers gave the response to the Daughters. The speaker, Mrs. Phylis Griefe, a graduate of Ohio Wesleyan, gave a very interesting talk about her work in various countries of Europe. The girls' sextet furnished a few novelty songs for the program, and Joyce Nolting and Gloria Powers pleased the audience with their xylophone music. HAMLET Drawn by the attraction of the movie version of Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet, twenty-three Ashley High students traveled to Columbus' World Theatre February 16th. Tickets were secured at special rates for the students and a school bus was taken so that any one desiring might go. After a slight discussion considering tickets and ticket numbers the students arrived safely. Supplied with crunch bars, chocolate bars and carrnel bars for the two and one-half hour production by Lawrence Olivier, the students took their previously agreed upon seats and proceeded to pass the one picture program QMiss Toby'sj among them. Everyone was familiar with the story and had no trouble in understanding the wonderful performance of Olivier as Hamlet and .Tean Simmons as Ophelia. After an incredibly short two and one-half hours of brilliant acting and magnificent scenery, the students left the theatre feeling that that fellow Shakespeare really deserves all the tributes he has received in the last 350 years. RABBIT SUPPER I, an Ashley Senior, do hereby solemnly swear that the meat served at the Senior Rabbit Supper, held November ZZnd, was genuine rabbit. Maybe that doesn't sound very important, but it meant a great deal to the Senior boys who bagged at least ten of the swift-footed animals. After a meal of mashed potatoes, dressing, gravy, salad, apple pie and ice cream and coffee, prepared by Mrs. Biggs and the Senior girls, was served to the members of the Faculty, their wives and husbands, and members of the Senior Class, a program of toasts and songs was enjoyed. The date of the rabbit supper was also Mrs. Warner's birthday. She was very much surprised when the cooks in the lunchroom presented her with a delicious birthday cake. 35
