The purpose of the Library Club is to promote interest in the school library, to encourage good reading, and to help its members learn moreaboutthe work ofa librarian. Student library assistants who are interested in these aims may become members of this club. This year the club observed National Book Week by sponsor- ing two movies pertaining to the library which were shown at a school assembly. For the first time in the school ' s history, a representative from the Library Club was chosen to serve with the P.T.A. Library Committee. At the regular December meeting, the club held a Christmas party for its members which was the highlight of its social life for the year. Mrs. Rhoda Buckley, school librarian, is the sponsor and faculty advisor of the club. 1ST ROW: Etta Stanley, Susan Ayers, Gay White, Harriett Packard, President; Frank Hoffman, Vivian Stone. 2 ND ROW; Thomas Carter, Beverly Jesse, David Bass, Beverly Stone, Michael Grieve, Evelyn Wall, June Thornhill, Beverly Moore, Glen Brice, Vemell Stanley, Georgia Anne Johnson, Otho Sledge, Lucy Carter Mallory, Shirley Powers, Annie Mae Jacobs, Tommy Leake. 33

This club, sponsored by the English department, has existed for the benefit of those students interested in dramatics; i.e., acting, staging, and directing. The club is composed of members who have shown outstanding ability in any of the various phases of high school dramatic productions. Every spring the Dramatic Club enters a play in the Group II, District II division of the Virginia High School League ' s annual One-Act Play Tournament. Last year ' s production was A Minuet, by Louis N. Parker. The club hopes to present a second play during the year in addition to the production for the Tournament, thus giv- ing to more students the invaluableopportunity of part- icipating in a dramatic production. 32
