I' l Textbook Crew Under the direction of Bliss Pearl Beem the textbook crew has done most efficient work. It is through the work of this group that the textbook room is open from eight o'clock until after three for the convenience of students and teachers. The task-by no means an easy one-is to issue on the average of five books for each student at the beginning of the term, and additional books through- out the year to the same students and also to the new pupils. This necessi- tates keeping very accurate records. The boys receive credit in hours and merits and they are to be complimented on their cheerful spirit and willing service. The duties of the crew are filling orders for books, delivering them to recitation rooms, issuing and checking books, and assisting with the clerical work. Each boy spends one period a day in the textbook room. In the picture above, reading from left to right, are, first row: Dean Farlow, Courtney Haslam, Robert Trent, Chester Peterson. William Smirl, Robert Leslie, and Leland Topham. Second row: James Smith, Newton House, Pearl Beem, Elwood Kay, john Roberts. Third row: Paul Aiso, Garner Hamm, Edward Dixon. Robert Dexter. Absentees: Paul Tebbs and YVayne Crowley. l95l
