Ll BEAD ASSISTAN S The duties of the members of the Library Club are varied. If any of the students who come into the library are in doubt about a good non-fiction book, the library as- sistants will help them select new and interesting books as well as to help others find reference material. When the girls aren't busy behind the desk they may be found working on books and magazines to keep them in good condition and arranging books on the shelves. With the performance of these duties, the girls are rendering a real service to the students as well as gaining helpful knowledge for themselves under the guidance of Mrs. Jewart, the Librarian. Row 1-Mrs, Jewart, Ellen Shick, Velma Shick, Peggy Jamison, Betty Wilkinson, Donna Stear. Row 2-Phyllis Brocious, Mary McCaHerty, Joanne McMeans, Barbara Hoffman. 51

The present Commercial Club was organized in 1952. Its purpose is to put into practice the knowledge acquired during the two years in the Commercial Department. To apply this knowledge, the Senior Commercial stu- dents serve as student secretaries for the faculty members. While working for the teachers, the student secretaries may be called upon to take letters and various reports in Shorthand, type Dittos, stencils, and copies of letters, tests, plays, songs, club and assembly programs, review sheets, and many other things. The club members sponsor an annual picnic and have a lot of fun at it. Summarizing the Commercial Club, it is a lot of work, practice, and experience, and we enjoy it! At the present time, the sponsors of the Commercial Club are Miss Marietti and Mrs. Helm. 50
