Our school paper, The Eagle Lights, had its beginning as a bulletin of the Commer- cial Club, circulating club news among the members. Within a short time it grew into a school publication, though still sponsored by the commercial students who composed the staff. The Eagle Lights is published four to six times annually. It is mimeographed and stapled by the staff and assistants recruited from the student body. It contains news, articles, and other items of interest to the students.

This year the Commercial Club became a chap- ter of the Future Business Leaders of America, a national organization. Only students, who have taken or are taking a commercial subject, are eligible for membership. The club sponsors speak- ers, movies and assemblies as a means of acquaint- ing the members with business. Under the guid- ance of Miss Ola Murray the club has continued to publish the school paper, the name of which was changed from the Commercial News to the Eaf’le Lights. 30

The purpose of the Library Club is to promote interest in the school library, to encourage good reading, and to help its members learn more about the work of a librarian. Student library as- sistants who are interested in these aims may be members. This year the club observed National Book Week by making various posters and by sponsor- ing a speaker at a school assembly. Club pins were bought this year and a constitution was put into effect. The club also sponsored open house” for parents and townspeople who wished to use the library. The club is sponsored by Mrs. Rhoda Buckley, school librarian. 32
