The staff is present every period when the library is open to provide infor- mation and help for students in search of books or periodical articles needed for research. The staff also keeps the volumes in repair by strengthening the bind- ings and other minor repairs. Staff members help to prepare books for circulation. Being on the library staff is an education in itself. One learns the library techniques which are invaluable in ROW: Williams, B., Holby, Hess, Estabrook, Hamilton, Eddy, R. 4th ROW: Jones, R., Walker, J., deGunzburg. doing research in any library. Since the Dewy Decimal System is used throughout the country, the staff mem- bers could easily adapt themselves to any library which they might have occasion to use. Since the retirement of Mr. Norman, who has been of great service to Avon during the past four years, the leadership of the library staff has been turned over to Mr. Craig, Librarian, Dick Herstone, the Chairman, and Lew Favorite, Junior Chairman.

The Clee Club was one of the most successful Avon has seen in many years. More arrangements were sung than in the past. This is partly because this year's club could absorb more music than previous groups. Avon had six concerts this year. The schools were Chaffe, Rosemary Hall, Mary A. Burnam, St. Mar- garet's, Stoneleigh Prospect Hill, and the Newport School. Each was a memorable occasion. Each concert begins with the Girl's Glee Club singing their various arrangements. Then the Avon Club fol- lows and presents theirs. The Avon Heirs come next and add humor to the occasion. After this the com- bined Clee Clubs attempt to sing a joint number. This arrangement has never been previously rehearsed and no one knows exactly how it will sound. A dance ends the occasion with music supplied by the Avon band. Mr. Grove has done an excellent job with this group of boys. The Glee Clubs of the future may have to look back at this year's club with envy.
