ln the upper picture we find students doing a variety of things. To the left is Mildred Manke who is putting a pattern on a pewter bracelet, June Hanson is sewing a leather purse and Mariorie Ness is working on a leather billfold. Visible in the background are Pearl Storbert, lleftl Dorothy McDonald, Annabelle Johnson, and Bernice Fosberg, sketching. At the table in the rear are students who are making pewter plates, cake knives, and letter openers. The art students are called upon to do a great deal of work for other departments in the school. Some of them have made covers for magazines in the library, posters for defense bonds and stamps, safety contests, conserva- tion, and National Book Week. Other students turn out lovely pieces of pewter, letter openers, bracelets, and ash trays. Leather is hand- sewn into purses, billfolds, and moccasins. Every Friday the class sketches from life. ln the center picture, Maxine Mittelstadt is posing, with .lean Erpenback, Betty Mahoney, and Nyle Peters sketching. Most interesting is a visit to Room 209 from where, every Christmas season, emerge the artistic windows and posters which are placed about the building. In the picture at the bottom Beulah Todd, lleftl and Maxine Mittel- stadt, lrightl are busily engaged on one of the oil paintings which add so much to the Christ- mas atmosphere of our school. This year several new scenes were added, and the stu- dents derived much benefit from working on these lifesize figures. Aff

library Since last year our school library has under- gone some changes which make it more con- venient. The librarian's desk, which was for- merly at the end of the room, has been shifted to the center, eliminating congestion at the entrance to the book shelves. Also, a desk has been placed by the entrance to the stacks with a Council member in charge to check out books. Above busily repairing books, we find -left to right: Margaret Seipel, Grace Shaw, Pauline Knutson, Carol Sangsland, Lois John- son, Mary Hubbell, Patricia Erity, and Eliza- beth Armstrong. Library Council has been placed on the same basis as many of our electives, so its mem- bers receive one-half credit toward graduation. There are twenty-three members whose duties consist of returning books to the stacks, mark- ing magazines, and filing book cards. They also made displays for National Book Week, and aided generally in routine work of the library. ln the picture to the center left, we see Mary Hubbell busy checking out books to Jean Poss, John Wikan, and Jean Armstrong. Every hour of the day a Council Member is stationed in the auditorium with reference material, magazines, and books, all of which are available to the students who check them out for use during study periods. This service has made it possible to use the library itself more for reference purposes and is appreciated greatly by study hall teachers as well as stu- dents, ln the lower picture, Allen Johnson, Lor- raine Swanson, and Gayle Hughes are check- ing out magazines from Grace Shaw.
