We were given a room in the grade school, and the junior and senior girls and Mrs. McGeever turned it into a very attractive kitchen and work room. The ninth and tenth grades organized a local chapter of the Future Homemakers ot America, The program of this national group includes the threefold purpose of service to the school, education of the members, and recreation. They gave a Christ- mas tea and style show for their mothers before Whom they displayed skirts, aprons, and dresses which they had made in class. They also had a Christmas party and sang carols at the homes of shut-ins. The junior and senior girls took a unit on food and nutrition during the tirst semes- ter. They made cookies and candy to sell at Christmas to raise money for the Home Economics department. They served a lunch one noon for the whole school which was very successful. They also took field trips to the Firch Baking Company, the San- itary Dairy, the Frozen Food Plant, and the Lawrence Dry Cleaning Plant. At present they are making forty cottas for the junior choir. All the senior high girls have had at least two home protects consisting of about fifty hours apiece-'for exampleg redecor- ating a room, or planning and preparing the home meals for a week. The Parent Teachers Association has been very good to the department. They gave a shower at Christmas time and presented a beautiful set of dishes and many useful and needed utensils. We have all had a lot of fun this year decorating the room and fixing it up for the future home economics classes. DOROTHY DILL. Page 34

LIBRARIANS . . . Reading from left to right: Elaine Graff, Magazine librarian, Mary Klier, Head librariang Arlene Lewis, Winifred Moser, lane Tingley, Hilda Wetland, Elizabeth Gresh, Marilyn Miller, Viola Brown lseatedl, and ldcr Kauffman. We librarians are always extra busy during fifth period on Wednesday. We have pasted and mended books about one Wednesday out of every month, on other Wednesdays we have taken cards out of the catalog for books which have been worn out or become out of date, We have listed new books in the accession book, and crossed old ones out, we have filed cards in the catalog for many new books, and we have dusted books, and kept the books and cards in order. We really get a lot accomplished in one period. During the Week each member of the library staff takes her turn at scheduled periods playing watchdog in the library. She checks books in or out for the readers and helps them as much as possible to find the books they want, In addition to the regular staff made up of seniors, we are grateful for the help of Eileen Timmons, lean Estok, Nancy Pieper, Marian Estok, Betty Regelman, and lanice Weigel who have donated certain study halls to library duty. We all have a cheerful C'?l smile when we hear Mrs. Becker say, We're going to paste today. lt must be that gooey feeling. And no one can paste like lane . . . Thanks to lda and Viola for the lettering and numbering on the backs of the books. Winnie and Lizzie have polished up their ABC's While sorting cards in the files sev- eral times . . . The girl you've seen behind a pile of magazines in the upper hall is Elaine. She's kept busy filing magazines and getting them out for reference work , . . And Mary is in and out every morning, pleasantly reminding people when their books are due. lt's not her fault it readers torget and have to pay fines. And she does all that searching for the occasional books which seem to walk away by themselves. After this years experience, we think any one of us could be of real help in an adult library in years to come, .WMARY KLIER. Page 33
