The Red Raiders, with good material and quite a bit of experience, looked impressive in the games they played. Seven lettermen returned from last year. Garrett High School was consolidated with Meyersdale this year. From this grew a capable and efficient football team, However, enthusiasm waned after several of our star players were injured.

I One of the most cultural and educational activities of our school is the library. It not only broadens the intellect but relaxes the mind from the steady pace of the days work. It is skillfully operated under the leadership of Miss Bolden and twenty-four co-workers who are busily occupied keeping the books in order, mending them, and offering any help whatsoever to the students with regard to reference material. There have been two hundred twenty-six books added to the shelves of our library this year, making a total of approximately 5,500. The library offers a special service on vocations and oc- cupations. This service consists of informational pam- phlets from the Science Research Associates. Students have access to twelve magazines. The library opened September 16 and closed May 15. We wish to thank Miss Bolden and the girls for their efficiency and patience, for the duties of a librarian are certainly a test of endurance. 50

By sponsoring intramural basketball games and other numerous activities, the club made the students sport-conscious and helped mold championship teams for the future. The Miss Varsity Ballf which is sponsored by the club, ranked as one of the most outstanding school dances of the year. 'lMiss Varsity, the queen of the dance, was selected by the Lettermen. She reigned over a night of fun and frolic escorted by her guard of honor, four Red Men. The members of the Monogram Club worked hard all year to raise enough money to buy each Senior member of the club an honor sweater to show he played some Varsity Sport for M. H. S. The sweater was presented as a token of honor and farewell from his fellow Red Raidersf, 52
