MEN OF DESTINY SEVERAL MEMBERS of the senior class banded together at the beginning of the school year and formed an organization which they called the M. O. D.'s- Men of Destiny. Composed entirely of seniors, it at first had six charter members, all of whom served as officers of the club. They were: Tom Volk, Head Neighbor, John Hoffman, First Neighbor, Bill Kearns, Second Neigh- borg George Wright, Third Neighbor, Bill Campau, Fourth Neighbor, and Bob! Leipzig, Treasurer. Although a new club it was one of the most active during the past year. The first of its activities was a doughnut sale which proved to be a financial success. A dance after the Milwaukie-Columbia basketball game proved to be one of the most outstanding nickelodeon dances of the year. The Men of Destiny did not exactly hoard all their earnings. Learning that one of the trophies in the library had been damaged they sup- plied the funds which were necessary for its repair. The members of this club were active in sports and did a great deal to bolster school spirit during the year. They also boasted several scholars who appeared regularly on the Honor Roll. The entire membership of the club will be lost by graduation, and the continuance of the organization will depend upon the future seniors.

1901 Y 1941 Q4 COLUMBIA PREP LIBRARY its THE LIBRARY DURING the past year the library of Columbia continued to grow in literary content and to undergo several material improvements. Under the supervision of lllr. Jack Friedhoff, librarian, all books were carefully cataloged and checked. Many new volumes, mostly fiction, were added to the collection of the library. The most important contribution was the addition of a complete set of the Encyclopedia Americana, a donation of the lylothers' Club. Most important improvement was the addition of a rail which gave the librarian some privacy in the performance of his duties. lligllligllt of the literary year was the Catholic Press lVlonth display during February. The purpose of this exhibit was to stimulate in the students a desire to read more Catholic per- iodicals. Another display of interest was the work of the journalists who featured school papers which are received in exchange from other preparatory schools. The library presents both the atmosphere and the materials which are necessary for the reference work required of the students. lt is the hope of the faculty that the students will continue to take advantage of the opporl tunities offered by a library which is well-equipped and ever growing.
