Four aides each period checked out books, noted students’ slips, looked for requested magazines, and helped run the well-organized library under the supervision of their adviser, Mrs. Beckett. Certificates were awarded to the aides for each year’s work and a silver emblem to those seniors who gave four years of service. A spring tea for parents, faculty, and the Board of Education on April 8, the state library meeting in Seaford April 23, and the June picnic in Mrs. Beckett's garden were the major events. “Have you seen the Hound?” The choice bits of news for this “snooper” column as well as for other Ecolian sec- tions were collected by the staff of eighteen, headed by Jean Baumgart, editor, and Mr. Pyne, adviser. Five issues appeared—Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and the final Senior Edition which ended the year on a happy note with the traditional senior will.
