16 THE GATHERER LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club has been functioning very efficiently this year under the direction of Mrs. Matheson. As usual, members of the club act as librarians during their study per- iods. These librarians keep the books in order and the shelves and table neat. As president, Barbara Eaton, in addition to her other duties, has had charge of catalog- ing all new books. Available on the table at all times have been a number of different well-known magazines and a daily newspaper. The libra- ry table facilities are available to honor-roll students at all times, and to everyone during the afternoon. The books and magazines may be used for entertainment purposes or for special outside work by all students and memn bers of the faculty. A special project of the Library Club this year was selling candy and soda at the home basketball games. The money earned went toward the purchase of new books for the library. With a library of approximately 1100 books, the club members are still keeping abreast of the best-seller list. This year the Library Club has purchased the following books: The Old Man and the Sea Giantg The Silver Chaliceg Hunter, You, The jury: Nature Atlas of Americag The Pink House: Duveeng Historical Sketch of the Town of Deer Isle, Maine, and has acquired The En- cyclopedia Americanna. Approximately twenty-five more books will be added before the end of the year. THE COMMERCIAL CLUB On December 18, 1952, a Commercial Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Larlee.
