Chapel Committee The Chapel Committee was formed so that services might be run more smoothly than they had been in the past. We played an active part in every service, straightening up the books, and posting the psalm and hymn numbers. Our main object was to make sure the boys entered the chapel in an orderly fashion and were dressed neatly. This allowed the services to start without delay. We would like to thank the boys for the cooperation they have shown us. .llr. :l'I1'f.il'!lI'lfI'll. llrbanzl. Savage, VanVorst. Front row-Braun, Croth. The Head Waiters This year the first Contribution the head wait- ers made to ease the work of the waiters was to abolish the disciplinary measures of giving extra weeks and giving hours. lnstead. the boys were given tables to wipe off after the meals. We found that these methods of discipline were most effec- tive and agreeable to the waiters. Our job this year was to keep order in the dining hall and the kitchen. The head waiters were six seniors head- ed bv Bill Ballantine. Vile worked in pairs throughout the year. Wilmont, Ballantine, Silber, Holahan, Grout, Stiassni, Werlvick. Front row-Savage, Daz!

The library is in the possession of many Shaker letters and books. This year an effort was made to collect old pictures and books per- taining to Darrow. We hope that the new library will allow adequate space to exhibit these pic- tures. letters, and books. Vl7e look forward to the new library which will allow the adequate space for the general collection, exhibits, research, and the periodical collection. missing, . Larson, Robertson. t .4 n derxon

We gain experience in handling financial and other problems which are met daily on full-scale farms in this coun- try. As a member, one chooses a farm project on which he wishes to work during Hands to Work, or any other time which he might have. These projects include cider, maple syrup, honey, candy, sheep, chickens, and ducks. This year we have been involved in several pro- jects: the building ofa hay chute to lighten the work of feeding the animals was the most not- able of these achievements. The birth of five lambs was an accomplishment in which the boys took as much pride as the sheep.
