NATURE CLUB 1939 Things in nature, the stars, the rocks, the birds, the flowers, the bees, all ever-present and yet often un- noticed and unappreciated, hold great fascination to members of the Nature Club. Bird hikes and general nature hikes have a prominent place in the activities of the club during the fall and spring. These field trips help ac- complish the purpose of the club, to secure a better understanding of nature. 1 Meetings are held every two weeks on Fridays throughout the year. At indoor meetings, members enjoy a program consisting of talks by fellow members or guest speak- ers. Of special interest this year were talks by Ted Katras, Mill Nielson, and Miss Rosemarie Hackman. Special projects this year included a study of the economic value of birds and the study of local flora with many new specimens added to the herbarium. Central's Nature Club is a member of the lndiana lunior Academy of Science. Each year the club awards the academy pin to members eligi- ble under the point system.

LIBRARY 1936 'lSpell your last name, please, can be heard frequently when enter- ing Central's library, where nineteen workers assist the librarian daily in the essential work that keeps the library operating efficiently and ef- fectively. The Library Service Group, an ac- tive branch of Service Club, was organized in l936 for the purpose of spreading unity and fellowship a- mong library workers. Social meet- ings are held approximately two times each semester after school, in the library. Marylou Ehrman and Alvera Baldwin are president and secretary of the club, respectively. At eight o'clock every morning, the busy library day begins. At this time, four of the group are on hand to stamp, renew, and stack books. First period, cards must be replaced in the newly returned books, which must in turn be placed on the shelves. Overdue notices are taken care of, and attendance must be taken and recorded. Again four workers per- form these tasks. During each of the following periods, one representative of the group spends his study hour helping Miss Beierlein with the rou- tine work. At the close of the school day, four helpers take care of the stamping and renewing during the rush and prepare the library facilities for the following day. Members of this group receive much from their library experiences. They gain a knowledge of the library system and of endless new authors and books, a better personality, de- pendability and a satisfaction comes from service to the school. -MARYLOU EHRMAN. Top: Library Club members show great interest in current books. magazines, and news- papers. Center: Officers pictured are Alvera Baldwin and Marylou Ehrman.
