Mrs. Murphy, and Mrs. Rich LIBRARY Our library is growing every year into one of which our school can be proud. New books are brought in regularly so that we are accjuiring a well-rounded collection. Much of this growth is due to the unceasing work of Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Rich, her assitant. They help make our library a pleasant place in which to study and do research work. m ' ft [ J OFFICE STAFF Mrs. Tatum and Mrs. Ziegler are responsible for doing the many- routine tasks which make our school run smoothly. They keep all the records, which we will need when we leave school, in order. Often their helpful jobs and cheery smiles go unrewarded, yet they are appreciated by every- one who uses their services. Mrs. Tatum, and Mrs. Ziegler 29

LIBRARY AIDS Because our library is of value to both the students and the faculty of Marple-Newtown Senior High, the service rendered by the library aides is of great impor- tance. This group of girls has relinquished their study hall periods in order to help in the library. Their pay is merely self-satisfaction, not a material gain. By shelving books, covering and stamping new books and magazines, attending to the check out desk and per- forming other time consuming tasks, the girls allow Mrs. Murphy to attend to the more pressing jobs of a busy librarian. Not only are the library aides serving our school, they are helping themselves. They become familiar with the functions and arrangement of the library as well as the duties of the librarian. This will prove most useful in the future - especially if the future encom- passes college or a career in library science. The library assistants are a valuable asset to our school and are to be commended for the diligence, persistence and willingness with which they serve the faculty and student body. Sunner, and J. Dampman. SEATED: Mrs. Murphy, J. Wright, L. Schatkowski, P. Sacca, C. Weiss, and S.J. Mullin. Mrs. Glieth Murphy 28

AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE The American Field Service is a relatively new organization at Marple-Newtown, but it has grown tremendously since it was established by Martha Me Crumm in 1959. The purpose of this club is to give high school students an opportunity to better international friendship and understanding through a student exchange program. Each year candidates from the Junior Class are chosen as being eligible to go abroad in the Americans Abroad Program. Each year AFS also sponsors a foreign student to live in and go to school at Marple-Newtown. The club is divided into two parts: the Fund Raising Committee and the Service Committee. The former sponsors dances, movies, a paperback bookstore, picture sales, and many other activities. The latter organizes assemblies, parites and other meetings among American and foreign students. The officers for the 1961-62 year are Linda Schatkowski, President; Lilly Belle Howard, Vice President; Joanne Wenrich, Secretary; Diane Eby, Treasure, Gerry Girol, Sergeant-at-arms Sharon Mooney, Parliamentarian. The club and its officers are proud of the support the rest of the student body bas given to the AFS ideal. Without the enthusiasm of the whole school our AFS club would not have the repu- tation of the most active in Delaware Valley. 30
