Thi-s was the cx»n- stant cry of Masque and Gavel members during the Christmas .season. Fifteen needy families in Blackford County were given over 4,000 cans of food through the efforts of class competition and the production of The Bishop ' s Candle- sticks. Waa-waa were the only words spoken by Helen Keller, played by sophomore Linda Herr. in the school production of The Miracle Worker. Ce- celia Worster portrayed the role of Anne Sullivan in teaching Helen the fundamentals of communication through discipline. Linda received the BHS oscar for best actress and Cecelia won the supporting honor. Bruce Wise was best technical worker. Five team trophies were won through speech and debate work. Getting up at 4:30 a.m. on Saturdays is absurd to most students, but not to the 37 speak- ers and debaters. Winning second over- all at the Indiana High School Forensic League Sectional was the highlight of the year. Keith Lanham earned the top speaker award.

Librar y Club Files, fines organized bookroom If you had trouble finding that one special book in the library, you dis- covered how important those trusty stu- dent-librarians and Mrs. Dodds, head librarian, really were. Their major task was getting the entire student body oriented in the new facility. Maintaining the bookshelves, card catalogue, and magazines, plus collecting those annoy- ing book fines, were daily activities of the 19 librarians. The vertical file was the expansion project of the club. Members asked all teachers to bring in magazines so they could cut out major articles pertaining to the categories in the file. Some members volunteered for extra duties such as arranging bulletin boards in the library and participating in a story hour at the Hartford City Public Library on Saturdays. Local children heard readings of their favorite stories. Building mental castles during library story hour is Cathy O ' Hern. LIBRARY CLUB: (Bottom Row) Lynn Riggs, Jackie Roberts (treas.), Helen Vandelene (sec), Liz Johnson (vice-pres.), Diana Dickey (pres.).
