Each librarian has a special duty assigned to her which she is expected to carry out. Council members hold monthly meetings presided over by Orpha Keck, Council President, where they discuss problems and ways of improving the library. Over 1500 books are circulated each month, with a daily average of over a hundred. This year, approximately four hundred new books were added to the library shelves, including books for reference work in all subjects, and many of the best fiction books. The library is very well equipped to supply material for any subject. Because of new books added this year and last, it was necessary to add several new shelves. The Council was composed mostly of seniors, whose valuable services will be missed after graduation. Mary Cooney and Orpha Keck, in addition to helping in the library administration, took charge of the library before school each morning and checked out books. Doris Freas, besides being the council's secretary, was also Mrs. O'Neil's secretary. Gladys Chudomelka and Marguerite Kohout helped greatly by taking charge of the literature books for senior English, a job which is not easy. Virginia Snuffin, a valuable member, had charge of the library during the noon rush, and also had charge of overdue books. Audrey Pittelli -also helped during the noon rush. Peggy Staats kept the clipping file in order. Ruth Tochterman is also a valuable member. There is no time during the day, 7.55 A. M. to 5.10 P. M., that there is not a librarian on duty. The magazine closet contains magazines from the past three years. The f0llI16'il perfozzfzel if dj f0ll0ll'.f.'

IHiQX3liE.TEER - - - 1957 . . SllE5llNllAf'lIllIE5 THE SENATE, in 1937, again followed the plan of committees that was started last year. The committees were: Organization, chairman, Anne Umstad, Awards, chairman, Leonard Byrd, Finance, chairman, Betty Nicholson, Publicity, chairman, james Wyatt, Monitors, chairman, Steward Nicholsg Committee for Revision of the Constitution, chair- man, jack Everett. This last committee was a temporary one to adjust certain necessary changes. This year the Senate revised several passages in the Constitution. The eligibility rule of sports was applied to the Senate. Members of the Senate, on becoming ineligible, are automatically replaced by a re-election in the homeroom affected. Two activity points are awarded a senator for each marking period that he remains in the Senate. Senators were also required to make a report in their homerooms the day following the meeting. This is done in an effort to keep the student body better informed of Senate proceedings. Sports received much consideration during the year. The requirements for receiving letters for hockey were changed. Two new sports were admitted to the list of those awarded letters, these were soccer and boys' swimming. The usual sports for which letters are awarded are: football, hockey, girls' and boys' basketball, girls' swimming, baseball, track, and golf. A new method was adopted for fire drills. This plan was adopted to give the students supervision over drills. A fire marshal was elected from the Senior class, William Raws, and with the assistance of a member of the junior class, James Swackhamer, jr., he chose a staff to guard entrances and see that rooms were cleared. The junior marshal will automatically become Fire Marshal next year. Fourteen members of the Senate attended the annual conference of the New jersey Association of High School Councils, held at the New jersey State Teachers' College at Trenton. The delegates returned with many helpful ideas in regard to school administration. Ojjicerr and memberr of the Senate are: Frank Quinn, President, Steward Nichols, Vice-President, Betty Nicholson, Treasurer, Anne Umstad, Secretary, George Wells, Eleanor Price, Peggy Staats, Irene Krug, Dorothy Reilley, Dorothy Breckenridge, George Scott, John Vaccara, Paul Denlinger, Tom Cooney, john Miller, Jack Patterson, jack Everett, Walter Long, Len Byrd, Wray Thomas, Philip Simone, Arthur Pacifico, Thomas Fanelli, George Hahn, Bill Goodman, Raymond Allen, joe Kirkpatrick, Robert Jones, jack Gartland, james Wyatt, Catherine Conreery, Bruce Wilson, Stephen Foster, Douglas Beardsworth, Roy Hopen, Mary Mears, Mildred Kleinfelder, George Scheina, Loretta Trefz. l50l

TI-IE GARNETEER . . . 1937 lINllAqllllllDlINllAlIl9 llliIl4DllNlllDllR SlD1l3lllllE9GlIlClf CENTRALIZED ACTIVITIES by the members of the National Honor Society, as an organization, were achieved this year for the first time since the estab- lishment of the society in the Haddon Heights School, in 1924. Requirements for this outstanding group are so stringent, that to be se- lected among its members is probably the greatest honor in our school. To be chosen, one has to excel in four necessary qualifications: character, leadership, scholarship, and service. All of those selected for this honor must have participated in extra-curricular activities and also have attained a high rating in their studies. The Society, in functioning as an active organization, has been ably di- rected by Miss Garrigues. Officers elected for the initial year were: President, Eleanor Price, Vice-President, Virginia Snulfing Secretary, Orpha Keck, Treas- urer, Isabel Michael. The following are members of the Society: Seniors elected in their junior year-Martin Cummings, Doris Freas, Margaret Hacunda, Orpha Keck, Doris McHenry, Isabel Michael, Marie Orlando, Eleanor Price, Virginia Snuihn, Margaret Staats, William P. Tait.
