The purpose of the Library Club is to encourage student interest and better student relationship in the library, and to give library assistants a better chance to become acquainted and to do things together. This year the club consisted of all the student library assistants. The girls planned a picnic in the fall to begin the school year. In November they had a well-planned book week program when they read and talked about different prize books of the year. A Christmas party in December, initiations in February and March, a spring party, and a picnic completed the social activities. After returning from a library convention, Miss Barth told the girls about the International Youth Library that was being organized in Munich, Germany. They became sufliciently interested in the project to have two fudge sales, one in late November, and one in early December, with the result that they obtained enough money to present the new library with a one-year subscription to the magazine Seventeen At the beginning of the school year, the club was divided into committees, each member on at least one committee. The program and the refreshment com- mittees took charge of the monthly meetings. The card committee sent cards to those members who were ill and flowers to those in special events. This committee was in charge of the Book Week activities. The 'art committee consisted of those girls who were interested in art. They have done almost all of the art work found in the library, including such things as posters, constructed in accordance with the season, bulletin board displays, and signs. This year's corps of oflicers included: Pearl Reinhardt, president, Marilyn Uhl'e, vice-president, Barbara Shipman, secretary, and Janet Knopf, treasurer. Miss Esther Barth was the f-aculty adviser. ...ll-

Senior Ploy This year the seniors presented HR. U. R., a play about the future, complete with robots and a revolt. Satirical and almost fantastic, the play met with approval from a small but appreciative audience. Weird sound effects and lighting added to the performance. The play was directed by Miss Ardis Kresensky, speech and dramatics teacher, and Pete Becker, assistant director. or First row: George Stoner, Pete Becker, Marilou Smith, Eunice Webb, Laura Yaeger, Janice Everett, Miss Kre- sensky, Vernon Lapps.
