A matinee was also given Thursday afternoon for the grade schools. The play centered around Patty Blaine, her family, and friends.

Back- stage, between the acts, you could see members of -the staff grab their note- books and jot down a few lines only to be startled by someone shouting their names because they had missed -the cue. Well, on Thursday, March 30, the play was given. At last! On the day of our deadline We really had fun. CWh-o are we kiddinglj We ran up a phone bill calling January graduates who had forgotten their activities, typed out last minute reports, and still hounded the seniors.

These twelve students, eight of whom are boys, work in their free periods decorating the library, mending, checking, and caring for the release of books, and typing new cards for books. Each year the librarians are in charge of selling and distributing Christ- mas seals in the high school. The Madison library saves a good deal of money by mending its own books. This year, several. new books and encyclopedias have been acquired, including the Encyclopedia Britannica and the Smithonian Series. All student librarians receive cred-its for the periods they work.
