Library Club HE Library Club, which is sponsored by Miss Reilly, the school librarian, was organized in the unforgettable days of 1931. It is the purpose of the Library Club to educate and train the prospective librarians in all the sciences of book lore. Only those Who have a real interest in the library Work are considered or made members of the club. The members of the club met every other Week in the school library under the direction of Miss Reilly, who taught these students the fundamentals of library work including desk work, the charging, discharging, binding, mend- ing, and the Dewey Decimal System of cataloging and shelving books. The members of the club look forward to and greatly enjoyed a Christ- mas party which was given in the school library, At one of the meetings Miss Reilly gave the girls a test on the different classilications of books. The Library Club has been most beneficial to everyone, both students and teachers. And We students of Central High School Want to thank the members of the Library Club for their outstanding Work. 1BETTYE 'Tl-IARP one hundred

This group is known as the Central High School Commercial Club. I The purpose of this organization is to bring the commercial students into a closer contact with the business world. This is accomplished, not in a dry, uninteresting fashion, but by programs full of life and energy. Speaking in general terms the programs are made up of contests, trips. speeches, and playlets. However, to be more specific this year's program in- cluded, among other things, the following-trips to the Lima Westinghouse Plant and The Lima News: sales talks by members of the lirst semester sales- manship class: contests in spelling and typewritingg short speeches by pupils: a typing demonstration by Grace Phalen, wor1d's amateur champion typist: and a playlet on the efficient and ineflicient secretary. Membership requirements are simple, all one has to do is take one com- mercial subject and come to Room 302 any night the club meets. Mr. DeLong's supervision and suggestions have been greatly appreciated by all connected with the club. -ARLENE HARD ninety-nine

TAYLOR - - Faculty Advisor - - MR. TAYLOR HE Senate, founded in 1916 for students interested in current topics, de- bate, and parliamentary procedure, is the oldest club in Central. Our honorable assistant principal, Senator Rornaker, inaugurated the present system of general debate, which allows a freer discussion than does formal debate. The Senate Club is modeled as closely as possible after the United States Senate and uses Robert's Rules of Order as its authority. Topics, for the weekly floor discussion, are chosen by a majority vote one week in advance. Some of the more important topics discussed this last year were: Resolved that the United States give financial aid to China, . Resolved that the penal institutions be reformed, Resolved that the United States withdraw from the Far Eastern War Zone , and Resolved that the United States adopt the British system of radio control. Two political parties were formed this year. They were the Progressives and the Liberalists. Senator Boggs was elected to guide the destiny of the Progressives and Senator Foster that of the Liberalists. Several Senators re- mained independent . - Senators who later became members and are not in the above picture are Don Ammon, Orrie Barr, Bud Hoover, Robert Love, Harold McClain, and Robert Wagner. Senator Taylor, our able faculty advisor, helped the Senate to present a most enjoyable and successful program this year. -PAUL HEFFNER one hundred one
