PRESS CLUB X941-42 was a banner year for the Press Club. After an absence of several years, a printed school paper reappeared in Babylon High. The new offering, Ptmlhw' Tales, a monthly newspaper, was remarkably successful. Publication wasn't always easy. for the venture was a large financial undertaking: but thanks to an able business stall and lots ol' hard work by the whole club, nine issues were published. Much credit goes to Marion Lott, the editor-in-chief, and to Miss Fredendall, the consultant. Besides the paper, the club sponsored two dances-a Defy-Bad-Luck Dance on a Friday. the thirteenth. and a Double-Dozen Dance. both of which were highly successful. LIBRARY CLUB Our Library Club is really a useful school instrument. At the meetings. held once a week. methods of procedure in the library, location and arrangement of books, the check- ing of books. the location of types of material are studied. Because much time is spent in working under Miss Dixson's direction. no club officers are needed. Each member is in full charge of the desk for at least two periods a week. About twice a year activities are planned. This year the group saw Best Foot Forward. and had a spring party.
