All students working in the library as stu- dent clerks were involved as members of the Library Club. The Library Club itself belonged to a statewide group known as the Teen Age Library Association. The twenty-one members raised money by selling candy and junior theme packets. The money that was raised paid for gas and eating food on field trips and for the district convention. At the district convention this year in May, Junior Rex Layton was elected district president. In October in Azle, Junior Tracey Haga was elected district treasurer. At the Audio-Visual contest, the Library Club members made posters and slide pro- grams to advertise the library and library usage. Field trips that were taken by these members were usually to other libraries, such as the Dallas Public Library. ,sa -it At the Whiz Quiz reception, Senior Nancy Cariker serves refreshments to guest Joey Gar- rett, junior.
