O O O 0 LIBRARY ASSISTANTS 0 0 0 Q Left to Right: William Strobel, Thomas Bernstein, Lawrence Neri, Conrad Delay, Ralph Siller, Daniel Kosiuch, Marvin Mironuk, Miss Didcms The library assistants at McKinley perform many valuable tasks which help to make the library more efficient. Aloy- sius Herko, Conrad DeJoy and Thomas Bernstein arrive at 8:00 am to help in the morning before classes. They also serve on Wednesdays between 2:00 and 3:00 pm during Religious Instruction per- iod. All assistants usually come to the library when they can be excused from class. Lawrence Neri made a speciality of alphabetizing and filing cards in the Card Catalog. William Strobel and Daniel Kosciuch help place books in readiness for circulation. Ralph Siller works at the desk charging books and handling lib- rary passes. Marion Mironiuk and Grant Long arrange books on the shelves. Since our library is open only three days a week the work these boys do is most important in keeping the library attractive and making its services avail- able at all times. All the boys become familiar with the processes necessary be- for a book can be placed in circulation and all the other procedures necessary to good library management, The order and harmony prevailing in our library are good evidence of their teamwork and cooperation.

Those who remember last spring's staging of one scene from a contemporary play in a modern setting know how our Thespians rise to the occasion. As its Christmas contribution, the Club did anoriginal presentation complete with settings and costumes which showed the various customs America has adopted from other countries for its own Christ- mas celebration. The presentation was accompanied by appropriate readings. Future plans call for the production next fall of a full length play Brother Orchid. Preliminary casting indicates our young actors will take full advantage of some choice roles. The Club is geared to early, enthusia- stic work on such necessary equipment as costumes and scenery. lt is sure that its public, the McKinley student body, will respond to its efforts.
