THE PIONEER WI YN THE LIBRARY STAFF N able and enthusiastic corps of student workers, under the direction and supervision of lVliss King, has been working industriously to put all the facili- ties of our well-equipped library at the disposal of the students. They have done much of the routine work of the library, such as checking, mending, and arrang- ing books, and thus have aided the library to function smoothly. Every member of the staff is required to devote three periods a week to labora- tory work in the library, and also to attend the staff meeting held every Tuesday night at which time are discussed various problems which may have come up in the library during the weelc. ln order to help the staff to become better able to assist students who require aid in finding information, llliss King has devoted several meetings to acquainting the council with all the sources of information in the library. Our one party, held just before the Christmas vacation and given to the staff by lVIiss King, was a fitting and enjoyable climax to all the hard work that had preceded lt. The members of the staff are the following: Helen Friedrich, Dorothy Feuer- bach, Betty Abbott, Gertrude Piel, Christine Di Bella, Evelyn Binder, William lllagee, and Vincent Greene.

THE PIONEER 'dl Wt? JOURNALISM CLUB HE Journalism Club undertook for its project this year the publication of a bi-weekly mimeographed high school paper, the FORT LEE-DER, with the aspiration of supplementing it next year with a printed publication. In November, the ninesenior members, with Mr. Whittemore acting as faculty adviser, organized into an editorial staff, and published the first issue Cin six pagesl of the FCRT LEE-DER. The first four issues were entered into the national contest of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, in which it was awarded third place in its division. As the paper grew to an eleven page sheet, the staff was en- larged to twenty-three. ' All work on the FORT LEE-DER is done after school. Meetings are held at least three times a week. Aid in the. mimeographing of the paper during the first semester of the school year was provided by members of the office practice class, who typed stencils during the class period. The paper now has a group of staff typists. In lhlarch, six members of the club were present at a journalistic conference in Palmyra, New Jersey, and eight attended the three-day Columbia Scholastic -Press Association Convention in New'York City. The FORT LEE-DER, which prints no advertisements, is entirely self-sup- porting, meeting its expenses from the proceeds of the paper which is sold at three cents a copy. The Journalism Club is a member of the National Scholastic Press Association, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, and the Quill and Scroll, an international honorary society for high school' journalists.
