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.

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.'

THE GARNETEER . 1937 ASSllEBllMlllll2ulIlJ'lf 4ll34DllMllllMlllIl6lIFGllFllE5llE5 One of the active groups of the school is the Assembly Committee, advised by Miss Helene Novak. This group is composed of Seniors, juniors, and Sopho- mores, with the Seniors holding plurality. The purpose of the Assembly Com- mittee is to select the assembly programs for the school from the standpoint of student interest and educational value, and to select leaders for the assemblies. A few of the interesting assemblies presented through the assembly committee were: Mr. Arthur Kane, who talked on Asia, Mr. Edwin Dill with his pottery, and Mr. Henry Cavenaugh, the artist. The assembly committee also sponsored an amateur program in assembly. If one may judge by student reaction and the limited survey of one sophomore homeroom, this program was the most popular assembly program of the year. The committee this year distinguished itself by leaving the school some- thing of lasting importance-a motion picture projector. The machine, a sound picture projector, was purchased and presented to the school by the committee, through the efforts of jane McCollum, one of the members. This talkie ma- chine is to remain in the school for use in assemblies, class rooms, and for athletics. Member: of the committee are: Steward Nichols, President, Hertel Missi- mer, Vice-President, Lillian Kiszonas, Secretary, George Wells, Reba Rosen- berg, Robert Jones, Betty Rexon, jane McCollum, Thomas Cooney, and Miss Helene Novak, adviser. l551
