You'll find that book in the nine hundred section at the northeast end of the library, is the reply of the newly-elected member of the library club as she helps a bewildered freshman find the book he is looking for. And, thus, the Library club has gained another helpful member who has taken it upon herself to learn the work and activities of the high school library. Colorful and interesting book reports are given at the meetings of the club, and a point system has been worked out for these. When a Library club member has earned seventy-five points, he receives a pin with the club name on it. In order to be a member of the club, one '2 must be able to work in the library at least one full period each day. In this way he gets acquainted with the way it is operated. During the year three parties were held and also a hike. At the Christmas party there was an exchange of gifts. Refreshments were served at the parties and also at the regular meetings. Officers of the club for the first semester were: president, Helen Long, secretary, Winifred Lar- song treasurer, Boletta Madsen, and for the second semester: president, Jack Treadmang secretary, Winifred Larsong and treasurer, Betty Robbins. 0'

Orrlzmik. l':mi:in The Art club was reorganized, after a year of inactivity, by the sponsor Mrs. Esther Richard- son, and assistant sponsor Miss Mary Elizabeth Shuster. A president, vice president, secretary and treasurer were elected to be assisted by social, poster, publicity, and ways and means chairmen. Ever since its beginning in 1926, the club has held high ideals and aims. The chief aim is the development of the appreciation and love of art. A worthy project growing out of this was the establishment of an Art Scholarship fund. This fund was created in 1927 and is added to by each art club. It is for the purpose of aiding young artists in getting an art education. Once a month business meetings are held, the other three days being devoted to work. Posters are made at a set price for social functions in and out of school. Social affairs sponsored by the club also help to secure money for the scholar- ship fund. For example, this year ice cream was sold at the tournament games, and a Marionette show was sponsored by the club. Teas and parties are also held in the art studio. One of the biggest projects toward the end of the year is the art clubfs part in the making of the yearbook. It helps in planning the main theme, the layout, and works on linoleum blocks which are used in printing. The club works on scenery and advertising for productions given by student casts of the high school to end each year's activity.
