Betty Jo Rousch, center, Publicity Chairman of the Library Club, points to one of the interesting displays prepared by her committee. Library Club bac s j your LATELY? | ciel sail Each day an enthusiastic group of sixteen students reported to the library for work. This service organiza- tion under the guidance and direction of Miss Bessie Parker, the librarian, kept the library running smoothly. They kept the book collection in good repair, helped process new books, took care of the periodicals, served at the circulation desk, and performed many routine duties. Each member of the club served on a committee which had for its goal the betterment of the library and its services. So that those students, who find the library and its vast resources so inviting, may not be tempted to stay away from their classrooms too long, the club pre- sented the library with an electric clock. At one of the meetings during the year the club presented a clock to the library. Judy Kesler, President, makes the presentation to Miss Parker, Sponsor. Club members enjoy a social in the school lunchroom on Saint Patrick's Day. 25
