At the north end of the athletic field is the memorial which was dedicated to these gradu- ates on September 7, l945. On this beautiful marble memorial are the following inscriptions: To the youth of this community who so nobly served our nation in World War ll, the people of the Butler Township dedicate this memorial athletic field. Upon the fields of friendly strife are sown the seeds that on other fields, on other days will bear the fruits of victory. We do not know how he was killed, but we shall think of him thrusting forward as on this field. -Russel Davenport IN MEMORIAM: Dean Black, Larry Tootle, Dorothy Van Zant, Ambrose Beeson, Elwood Rogers, Robert Lumm, Kay Shearer. The memorial plays a large part at the be- ginning of all of our home football games. Our school band and the visiting band march up the field and stand at attention. The Star Spangled Banner is sung with the partici- pation of both bands. This ceremony is ac- companied by a display of fireworks. These graduates will never be forgotten.

OFFICE STAFFS The operation of the three oftice staffs in our school required the assistance of student help. ln these offices our daily bulletins were published, calls for students were handled, stu- dent data was accumulated and filed, and all school finances were recorded. Mrs. Hufziger worked as secretary for our superintendent with help from Carole Whit- mer, Carolyn Mossbarger, and Nancy Smith. Several more students could be found in the clerk's office for here is the place through which all money must pass. Assisting Mr. Demmitt were Mrs. Monnin, keeper of many records, and her corps of workers who included Judy Lively, Elaine Gibboney, Jane Wethington, and Jack Macy. These three girls worked as cashiers in our cafeterias, while .lack serviced the candy machines in the building. Whenever necessary we can seek counsel from our principal, Mr. Odle. Dick Deal and Ann Gaylor helped Mr. Odle with correspond- ence, absence lists, and the issuance of excuses. The Air Log salutes the office staffs.

HISTORY The senior class of l95l has created quite a history for itself. Danny Gordon led the class in its freshman year. That year the class had two advisors, Mr. Frank Bales and Mr. Joe Dickman. Danny was aided in his official duties by Kathleen Morton, vice-president, Suzanne Booher, treat? urer, and Ann Gaylor, secretary. The class tried to build a treasury by sponsoring class hay- rides. Under the able guidance of Syd Collins, who was class president for three years, our sopho- more year was a rollicking one. Syd was aided by Donn Day, vice-president, Kathleen Morton, secretary, and Mariann Miller, treasurer. Mr. Joe Kaenzig was the class advisor. The sophomores, along with the seniors, sponsored the St. Patrick's Day dance, Merry Topper O'Toole's Twirl, which was held at the elementary school. lt was during this year that the class started having its unforgetable class parties at Club Marquette. These parties were continued during our iunior year. Syd Collins was again elected class president with Jerry Hewitt, vice-president, Kath- leen Morton, secretary, and Mary Ann Weg- ner, treasurer. Syd Collins and Max Odle rep- resented the class on the first Student Council. The highlight of the iunior year was the Junior- Senior prom, Moonlight and Roses, which was held in the new fieldhouse. ln the class's opinion it was one that will never be forgotten by them or by the school. The class also spon- sored the St. Patrick's Day dance, Shamrock Shenanigan's, which was also held in the field- house. Ann Gaylor was elected May Day Queen with Donn Day as King. The members of the class were very happy when they received their class rings which they proudly showed to everyone. Mrs. Esther Chaney and Mr. E. C. Casebolt were the class advisors. This senior year has been one that we all will long remember. Syd Collins served his third and final year as class president. The other class officers are Max Odle, vice-president, Betty Steele, secretary, Mary Ann Wegner, treasurer, and Jean Paul Borchers, student coun- cil representative. ' The class worked on many proiects to raise the funds for their graduation trip to Washing- ton, D. C. Among these proiects were scrap drives, the talent show, the Fireman's Banquet, selling Christmas cards and magazine subscrip- tions. ln December the class received their gradu- ation pictures from the Powell studios in De- troit, Michigan. Some other highlights were the ordering of name cards, graduation announce- ments, and being measured for their caps and gowns. ln December the class sponsored the Christ- mas dance, Mistletoe Twirl. Jane Curtis was elected as homecoming queen at Butler's first Homecoming in November. Ann Gaylor was the senior attendant. Not at the top but climbing was chosen as the class motto. The red rose is the class flower, and the colors are gold and white. Mr. James Hopkins has served as the class advisor for this year. As the seventy seniors leave the halls of Butler High School they leave many memories which will always be cherished and never for- gotten. 'T l i ...J , S , ARTHUR, DORSEY R.

Wait, an injury has occurred! What's this? The nurse for Tom's team is Virginia Bourne. Wow! No wonder so many casualties have been appearing. Flash! Jane Curtis has iust been appointed as head coach for Yale. Well, well, what do we have here? A girls' football team. lt looks as though Dale Winkler is getting a large charge out of coach- ing Julienne High to victories. Baseball has iust inherited some all time greats. We have Jerry Hewitt as the New York Yankee's star pitcher and Jack Macy catching for the Cleveland indians while Bob Ullery manipulates third base. Two young lawyers have distinguished them- selves through their work on the De Hayes' case. The lawyers are Jack Munson and Grant Ries- inger. Grant's efficient switchboard operator, Carole Gibson, likes to listen in on the boss. Hottes De Hayes wanted five wives but he just couldn't get it through his head that he should take them one at a time. Flash! All the kiddies will thrill at this. Their idols, Dick Boyer and his horse, Pet, have been chosen as America's number one top cowboy stars. !Thfs is your Hollywood reporter Betty Steele saying goodbye until tomorrow.i Dorsey Arthur and Aloysius Wilimftus are the head grease monkies for the William Mat- thews and Glenn McCollum Garage of Dis- tinction. Would any one care to buy a pair of Wid- ows Hose ? You would! Contact Ronald Bo- well Esq., head salesman for Thomas Whitmer's Widows Hosiery Shoppe. I guess Warren Piercy and David Coss could- n't stand it any longer so they ioined the For- eign Legion. Nice, sociable little outfit. Joe Patterson, Bill Taylor, Dick Krohn, and John Madrid want to be millionaires, quotes Paul Inman. I guess l'll have to be poor. Every- one else wants to be rich. Eclgzir Jones became an oil magnate over- night when his Uncle Midas of Midas County, Texas, passed away. Betty Lou Boyle operates his switchboard while trying to keep all the little Bitties out of mischief. Nice work, if you can do it. Hup-two-three-four. That seems to be all that Don Tygret, Dan Gordon, Victor Vance, Jerry Zimmer, and Bob Kuhls, are able to hear. lt even keeps them awake at night. lt isn't the drilling that bothers them, though, it's their Drill Master, Sergeant Mary Wegner. Marion Thomas has earned the title of the Goldbrick Most Likely to Succeed in Uncle Sugar's armed forces. Bob Birchfield and Max Odle have a bad case of the shakes, First it's those darn needles! Now it's that Terror of Battery A , Robert Gorman, Master Dentist of Battery A. ln this man's army, Gene Hageman has taken the place of Jerry Lewis for that sensational rib tickler, At War With the Army. Bob Dolan is liable to drop in on you any time as he was a paratrooper and is head de- livery boy for the Syd Collins' Nut-House Enterprises. Peanuts, that is. Women's wrestling certainly hasn't gone out of style. The hottest thing is Gerry Brown and her manager, Carole Slim Coy. Bruce Boedeker is now in Karl Keller's boots as head conservationist. Dick Deal is singing grand opera at the Met- ropolitan. Herman Miller is now recognized as a second Frankie Laine. Mariann Miller is now married and living happily with that great singing cowpoke, Donn Day. Basil Theodoras' Hill Farm, dealing exclusive- ly with one legged chickens, has been furnish- ing the United Nations Assembly with all the chickens their members can consume. The United States delegate, Bill Drummond, has done away with so many chickens that he is now being investigated for fowl play. Dick Knisley has the highest iob of anyone. He is now washing windows on the Empire State Building in New York. While going about his escapades he came upon these scenes. Joan Davis, Ann Gaylor, Judy Lively, and Barbara Poorman were all trying to sit on the bosses' lap. incidentally, the boss is only 5 feet tall. Tom Williams disappeared last night. The police are thoroughly stumped. lt seems Tom was last seen with that great magician, Jim Boggs. The health of the country is now in better hands with Teda Clark, Jane Wethington, and Phylis Settlemier supervising nursing. Norma Christmas has gone back to primitive times. The pace of modern times is too much. She is now a missionary in darkest Africa. Jean Paul Borchers is now the big cheese of the N.R.O.T.C. Now head of the Lutheran Mission is John Fabian. Those who are dodging spitballs and trying to further the education of our children are Pat Brown, Suzanne Booher, and Martha Ruetz, in the elementary and Stanley Steed, and Mary Oaks as teachers of administration. The former great concert singer, Susan Cull, has now de- voted her life to teaching little children how to make their dogs howl. Kathleen Morton is now playing the largest organ in the world which is in the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The coach of any team must have good ma- terial to make a good football team and Butler had its share of good football players. The seniors on the squad were Jim Boggs, wing- back, who set a new scoring record for Butler, Dick Knisley, end, Tom Williams, end, Herman Miller, tackle, Warren.,Piercy, tackle, Tom Jack- son, guard and captain of-the team, Bob Dolan, center, Dale Winkler, back, Jerry Zimmer, line- man, Jerry Hewitt and Hottes DeHays, ends, and Dick Deal, lineman. Jim Boggs and Tom Williams received additional honor by being named to the Little Six All Star Team. Jim was also voted the most valuable player on the Butler squad. ' The first game of the season, on September 15, was highly successful. Butler played the flyers from Fairborn on the fiyers' home field. The Butler football team started to roll and iust couldn't be stopped. Boggs, Knisley, and Toth scored the touchdowns for Butler and the final score read Butler 21, Fairborn 7. On the following Friday night, Butler played the Oakwood Lumberiacks to a standstill for most of the game. The Lumberiacks were sup- posed to give the Aviators a rough game and did so until Jim Boggs cut loose. Jim put on a one man show and scored all three touchdowns ' IM YW Y . ,W ,g Y, ,. for Butler. The final score read Butler 20, Oak- wood O. A week later Butler played the Vw'est Milton Bulldogs for the first home game of the year. This was a very tough battle. The Aviators had the fumbler this game and failed to score on several occasions from the one yard line. Boggs intercepted a pass for the only Butler score while the Bulldogs scored two touchdowns. The final score was Milton 12, Butler 7. The Aviators traveled to Northridge to clash with the Bears for their next encounter. The entire squad was greatly inspired for this game. The Aviators first score came in the second quarter as Jim Boggs went over for the first touchdown. In the final quarter Bryant added another touchdown and Toth made the place- ment. The final score, Butler 13, Northridge 0. ln a crucial contest on October 13, Butler met the Franklin Wildcats for the championship of the Little Seven League and lost. Butler iust couldn't get rolling against the wildcats. They took a licking to the tune of 31-16. The Aviators scored their most impressive victory of the season, over the Randolph Bob- cats by the score of 45-6. Jim Boggs and Art Bryant each scored two touchdowns for the home forces to highlight this evening. On October 27, Butler traveled to the O. S. S. O. Home at Xenia for this game. ln the First half the Aviators were badly out-classed, but the second half told the story with the Aviators finally winningqout by a score of 34-20. After a week's rest, the Aviators played the Tipp City Red Devils in a game that was sup- posed to be a very close contest. The game was a one-sided afiiair however with the Butler powerhouse proving to be too much for the Red Devils. Tom Williams caught two passes for touchdowns to spark the Aviators. The final score was Butler 26, Tipp 6. ln their final game on November lO, the Aviators celebrated their Homecoming with a tie with the Lebanon Warriors. The game was played in a small blizzard and very low tem- peratures. Neither team could seem to get roll- ing mainly because of inclement weather. The battle was one of two gallant football teams with both settling for a tie. The coaches and players of this team should be very proud of their record because it is one that should carry honor with it. The final ana- lysis showed a count of 7 wins, 2 losses, and l tie, Butler's most impressive record since 1937! Butler .. Fairborn 6 Butler Oakwood O Butler West Milton 12 Butler .

Taylor Wayne .Phillipsburg Brookville Randolph Centerville .West Elkton Teamwork, school-spirit, and an excellent coach just about describes the action of the Aviators this season. A great deal of credit goes to the boys for showings they made, not only in season play but also in the tourna- ments, and to coach Joe Dickman for a fine iob. ln winning 14 games and dropping 12, the Aviators won the consolation bracket in the Montgomery county tournament, were runners- up in the Holiday tournament at Troy, and were barely edged out in a district game with West Elkton. In league play Butler placed fourth, but their record does not do them iustice. Their losses were by very small point deficits cmd some of them were caused by bad breaks. The players themselves thought that there were only two games they should have lost, and those were to Lebanon and West Milton, which are class A schools. ln the last game of the season, the Aviators received a bad break when they met the boys from West Elkton in a district tilt. The score was tied up at 41-41, Elkton's ball out of bounds, and there were 9 seconds to go. Dillon, their leading scorer of the game, dribbled down the floor and iust plain threw the ball through the hoop as the gun went off ending the gamma. The final score was 43-41 in favor of West Elkton. Three of Butler's 1950-51 basketball team made the Journal-Herald All-Star team and the All-County team. Donn Day, forward and sen- ior, was selected for the first tive on the Journal- Herald All-Star team. Donn, who was elected by his team-mates as captain, spark plugged the team this season. Tom Williams, also a senior, received honorable mention. Dick Knis- ley made the first ten on the All-County team. Dick, a senior, played center for Butler. Donn Day and Tom Williams received honorable mention on their team. ln taking the Consolation Championship, But- ler defeated Brookville 44-26, Phillipsburg 54- 35, Randolph 46-43, and Centerville 39-37. The tourney at Troy found the Aviators tak- ing the runner-up trophy by defeating Fairborn 45-27, then bowing out to Milton-Union 53-26. The emphasis was not on individual glory on the team, and the players displayed excellent ball and were highly regarded by anyone watching them in action. ,f gczaefafl FIRST ROW, left to right-Powell Toth, Jack Macy, Dick Knisley, Dale Price, Bradley Boggs.

BASEBALL This year promises to be an improved season for the Butler baseball team. Returning from last year's squad are Macy, Price, Anthony, Jackson, Furrow, Ullery, and Knisley, who will be trying to better the 1950 mark of 4 wins and 5 defeats. A highlight of that campaign was the 3-ll slugfest win over Randolph. Coach Frank Puthoff has assembled a team characterized by power, fielding, and speed. TRACK The track team of last year, while building for the future, had an impressive recorcl in that they were fourth in the county league and fourth in Little Six competition. ln the county meet, two records were broken-Dave Smith set a new mark in the 220-yard dash with his fast time of 22.6 seconds and 880-yard relay es- tablished a record with Smith, Deal, Boggs, and Bryant covering the distance l:39. Lettermen returning in l95l are Smith, Deal, Boggs, Bryant, Harley, Winkler, Toth, and Knisley. - 7 FIRST ROW, left to right-Dick Deal, Powell Toth, David Smith, Jim Boggs, Art Bryant.

The future athletes of Butler High School, under coach Frank Puthoff, made their initial debut in 1951 under the name of the Junior Varsity. The football team was split into groups- the freshmen who won 2 and lost 4, and the sophomores who won 4 and lost O. The captain of the sophomore team was Ronnie DeHays who sparked his team from the quarterback slot, while John Lampman carried the brunt of the running attack. The basketball team was also split into two groups-the eighth graders who won 2 and lost 3, and the freshmen who won 6 and lost 5. The eighth graders were led through the season by their two high-point men, Don Calli- coat and Tommy Lampman, while Chuck Wil- kerson, captain for the freshmen, was their high-point man. We are all quite sure that under the able leadership of Frank Puthoff the young athletes of our school have learned enough to carry our colors in future years. X FIRST ROW, left to right-J.

To the students of Butler, the Aviator has become as much a part of their school lives as their text books. None of us can remember when there wasn't an Aviator to keep us in- formed of school news. lt is basically a school paper, publishing as much community news as space permits. Mary Oaks headed up the staff as editor-in- chief with Ruth Jackson serving as assistant editor and training to be the editor next year. As business manager, Tom Whitnter solicits the advertising and supervises the sending of bills and bookkeeping by his assistants. At present the paper is printed by the Herald Publishing Company, Tipp City. Mrs. Stump serves as adviser for student publication prob- lems, while Superintendent Morton gives us first-hand information on important school news. Payment for the Aviator is made chiefly through advertisements. Other means of income are sales tax returns and profits from staff work at the concession stand in the fieldhouse. The Aviator is a non-profit organization. The purpose of th'e Aviator is to keep stu- dents and parents informed on school and community news.

Sixty of this number were marching members. The band plays a big part in the activity of the school. They put on a half-time show at all the football games and play at many of the basketball games as they assist the cheer- leaders with some of now 'famous musical cheers. During the year the band exchanged con- certs-with the Clyde Band of Sandusky, Ohio. This was the first year that they have gone this far. An annual spring event is the formal band concert, which is a very inspiring occasion. This year the concert was held on April l3. ln addition, the members attended the Miami Val- ley Band Festival. At this event they performed on the field ,and later became part of a mass band concert. This year the Butler band had the honor of appearing as guest band for the ground break- ing ceremonies at the Aeroproducts Corporation. On Memorial Day they were a part of the special services of that day. Many of the Butler band members entered solo music contests. The drum maiorettes, tive in number,' ap- peared with the marching band. These girls also entered competitive contests. This was the first year that all five of the maiorettes received medals. The members of this group were Carol Stetifey, Jeanne Martin, Nora Workman, Wanda Hept, and Virginia Bourne. There were fifty members in the iunior band. This band is composed of sixth graders and iunior high students. Some of their activities included participation in the summer ice cream social and serving as host for visiting bands in April. Last year this band began concerts with vari- ous visiting school bands. The iunior band prepares its members for entering the high school band. Both bands deserve a great deal of credit. - Waxed wma y FIRST ROW, left to right-S. Cull, A. Gaylor, K. Morton, M. Wegner, G. Brown, G. Bellew, B. Jackson, C. Hockenberry, M. Bivins, G. Mcllvain, P.

Dick Deal was president of the organization, while Ann Gaylor was treasurer, and Kathleen Morton was secretary. Some personal appearances attended by the group were the Lion's Club, spring concert, the Christmas banquet, P.T.A. meetings, and school assemblies. The latter included the Easter pro- gram and Christmas program. The Butler Min- strel Show of l95l was enlightened consider- ably by the chorus's contribution to its 'fun and gaiety. Several members sang solos or appeared in quartets at the Minstrel. Another organization 'formed by chorus is the Madrigal Singers. This is a group of sixteen boys and girls who sing in the old-fashioned madrigal way. The chorus received an excellent rating at the District Choral Festival. Singular members ot the chorus participated in the district solo and ensemble contest and were awarded high ratings. Those who competed in the contest were Dick Deal, Gretchen Bellew, Dudley Mook, and Joan Davis. Aside from these activities the members have taken the time to work on folk music and to study records, operas, madrigals, and a few contemporary composers. The girls' chorus is in existence primarily for the purpose of being preparatory training for the mixed chorus. The girls study records to learn to recognize beat, tempo, rhythm, mel- ody, and quality of music. This study also aids the group in learning the notes of the scale, being able to read them, and knowing how to sing them. Thirty-eight girls compose the girls chorus. These girls appeared at the spring concert which was their main personal appearance dur- ing the year. The twenty members ofthe boys' chorus have been studying to be commendable members of the mixed chorus. It is generally understood that the boys chorus is the organization in which the younger boys get their training for the mixed chorus. They study tone, quality, melody, notes, tempo, rhythm, and volume of ditterent types of music. Records are the main source of these studies. The boys chorus also appeared at the spring concert. All three choruses-mixed, girl's, -and boy's -are under the direction ot Miss Gloria Kor- honen, who became a member of the Butler faculty this year.

The Hi-Y purpose is: To create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character, and to gain a broader perspective and knowledge of everyday problems. The Hi-Y sponsors the honor banquet each year and plans programs for assemblies. The group also takes baskets around to needy peo- ple at Christmas. The Butler club became recognized as an affiliate of the National Hi-Y Fellowship of the United States in October of 1950. The assembly as a whole takes a different problem or question of interest to the boys and studies it thoroughly from all sides. This year's topic is religion. The Hi-Y club as a group has visited a Jewish synagogue where the rabbi gave a talk on the history of that religion. A Catholic church and a Protestant church were also visited, and the history of these religions was presented to the group by the pastor of each denomination. Officers of the club for this year were Hottes DeHays, president, Art Haywood, vice presi- dent, Dick Boyer, treasurer, Dick Deal, chaplain, and Charles Lewis, historian. Y-TEENS The junior members of the Young Women's Christian Association are known as Y-Teens. Mrs. Esther Chaney serves as advisor for the girls' fellowship group. The Y-Teen purpose is: To build a fellowship of women and girls de- voted to the task of realizing in our common life those ideals of personal and social living to which we are committed by our faith as Christians. ln this endeavor we seek to under- stand Jesus, to share his love for all people, and to grow in the knowledge and love of God. The Y-Teens handled the Easter and Christ- mas programs and helped to distribute Christ- mas baskets. Chocolate bars were boxed by the girls and sent to needy families in Europe at Christmas. The Y-Teen candlelight induction service is very impressive and beautiful. One ot the most entertaining times of the year was the weiner roast and initiation of new members. The l95l cabinet officers were VViIma Kersh- ner, president, Polly Welch, vi::e--president, Ann Nottsinger, secretary, Shirley Day, treasurer, Betsy Vance, program chairman, Janet Odle, worship, Martha Ruetz, service, Sue Krohn, pulm- licity, and Ruth Ann Jackson, music. Kathleen Morton is the Y-Teen junior advisor. Z- 7een4 TOP PICTURE FIRST ROW, left to right-P. Strader, E. Gibboney, B. Dunn, L. Barton, A. Buchanan, J. Acton, N Zimmer, N. Orput, S. Krohn, L.

L CARTESlAN CHAPTER LEFT TO RIGHT-Mr. Hutziger, Advisor, Basil Theodoras, Jean Paul Borchers, Max Odle, Without fear of contradiction, it could be saicllthat the Math Club during the school year of i950-51, was one of the smallest active organizations at Butler. The club contained three members and the advisor, all of whom held some office. The officers were Basil Theo- doras, president, Jean Paul Borchers, vice-presi- dent, Max Odle, secretary, and Mr. Hufziger, advisor. The club is known as the Cartesian Chapter, a name derived from Decartes, a well-known ancient mathematician. This was the second year of its existence at Butler, the club having received its charter in l950. The aims of the club are to promote inter- est in mathematics and to further its study. To be eligible for membership, a person must be a senior with a B-plus average in all high school mathematic subiects. Pledges for membership the following year are made the last few weeks of each school year. During this year, the club met the first Mon- day of every month in the mathematics room. Each member was required to give two reports to the club. Some of the reports given were as follows: Max Odle, Analytic Geometry , Jean Borchers, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Phoenic- ian Mathematics , and Basil Theodoras, Non- Euclidean Geometry . ' f4L'am gaezfeze The Atom-Busters Science Club is part of the national Science Clubs of America. lt was or- ganized in 1950 under the supervision of Mr. Kaenzig, The aims of the club are to stimulate an interest in science, to understand the im- portance of science in every day life, to give service to the community and to get more en- ioyment out of science. Membership has doubled itself since last year. There are now 28 members. The programs this year varied equally with student participation, outside speakers, movies and field trips. The club tries to plan two field trips a year. One is the annual Science Day at Antioch College and one other trip. This year they made a trip to the Dayton Public Museum. Every student is required to have one project a year. This-may be research or experiment in some field that particularly interests them. The club as a group has one proiect a year. This year it was to beautify the school grounds by planting different types of flowers. The Science Club has increased interest in science a lot during these past two years and has proved to be very successful. The officers this year were: Jack Munson, president, Max Odle, vice-president, Betty Steele, secretary, Jim Lang, treasurer, Barbara Snyder, reporter, Janet Odle, chairman of the program committee, and Joseph Kaenzig, spon- sor.

Astronomy, nursing, airplane, health, ani- mal, rock, first aid, conservation, and builders were the groups making up this organization. Each of these clubs presented its observations and discoveries before the entire class every six weeks. The making of charts and scrap boolcs, the presentation of skits, and occasional field trips enabled the participating students to enioy their work and to gain knowledge in various special fields of science. Some of the highlights of the year were a trip to Jack French's home for star study and use of a telescope, a trip to the Vandalia Fire Department, and a visit at the Montgomery County Builders Show. lilfzmg Staff ln our library we can find excellent material for both reference and recreation. The l70O books and eighteen periodicals are distributed under the direction of -Miss Mabel Funderburg and her staff of student librarians. Interest in the library was increased this year by the display of book iackets and the observation of National Book Week. Some students and faculty members posted their selections for their favorite books, so that others might determine which books they would like to read. The seven students who assist Miss Funderburg work on a voluntary basis. Their duties include checking magazines and books, filing, and arranging books on shelves.
