New girls apply for the places as others leave or grad' uate, thereby keeping the number constant. A few of the pupils serve two periods a week, but most of them spend but one period helping the librarian. There are one or two girls on the squad each period of the day ex' cept the Hfth, when three or four are needed. Besides a regular student assistant, a few more of the group offer their services after school about once a week. The assistance that this Library Squad ren' ders consists of taking slips for attendance, writing notes, mending books, keeping the magazine room in order, arranging and shelvf ing books, taking care of the bulletin boards, i613 and clipping and filing articles from current papers and pamphlets. The squad, in prepar- ing new hooks for circulation, paste in the pockets and plates, and mark and shellac the call numbers on the back. The student assisf tants acquire useful information on the arf rangement of the library and its management, and membership on the squad ranks as an extra-curricular activity. The Library itself, now ending its fourth year of existence, is showing some signs of wear, The furniture testifies to hard usage. The shelves, once merely halfffilled, are now quite full and very valuable. The library is being used more and more, and an apprecia' tion of the value of the magazines is increasf ingly in evidence.

C5716 Spectator HIS year Harding's trifweekly chronicle of events made further steps towards its Coal-a flawless paper. The honor received at the Columbia Scholastic Press Association conf vention held in New York during March, to which Hersey, Bill, and Flynn were delegates, was unquestionably the highlight of the year's progress. There the Spectator was the only high school paper in New England to be awarded first place in national competition. During 19284929 the Spectator was fortuf nate in its supply of news, and the number of scoop stories, making the news section more attractive. The aim of the staff has been fresh news-advance if possible, and the em' phasis of features often overlooked. Thus in the first issue thumbnail biographies of all new teachers and a complete list of the alumni en' tering college, with College Board records, were printed. The next number began a series of articles by james Kane delving into the un' known areas of the building. The Christmas issue featured seasonal liter' ary material, as is customary, and a feature story regarding a flight made by a Harding teacher and a famed aviatrix. In the graduaf tion issue more freedom in headlines was inf troduced, and cuts of the commencement speakers were printed. A list of the freshmen was given in the February 7 issue. Similarly significant items of interest during the school calendar featured succeeding numbers. Through the courtesy of the Bridgeport Post cuts otherwise unavailable were used in several papers. A concerted drive to improve the makeup has resulted in more variety in headlines and changes in the form of the sport page. Features have been made of stories of alumni. The staff at the beginning of the year was headed by john Hersey, editor, Harthon Bill is the present editor. l60l

'Ufome oom Leaders HE Home Room Leaders' association is the student organization having the greatest responsibility in the school, being the repref sentative body for the several rooms and the connecting link between the rooms and the oflice. The members should be leaders in every sense of the word, and are recognized as such by their classmates and teachers. They are regularly elected by the pupils and their ref spective teachers depend greatly upon them for routine work connected with room organif zation, Their many duties, though arduous, have always been faithfully and successfully performed. Their chief task is to lead their rooms to the assemblies and report offensive conduct, a step seldom necessary at Harding. They are a most valuable aid in the sale of tickets for various alfairsg they attend meetings and bring messages to the pupils from the officialsg they see that the news of the bulletins is given to the student. During the whole year there has been very little cause for criticism in their work. It is an honor to be one of Harding's Home Room Leaders. Nil
