A feature of the Fair which is particularly pleasing to the grade school pupils is the story telling periods, conducted in each grade a day or two prior to Book Fair Day, by some of our versatile members. There seem to be abundant future child librarians in our midst. In appreciation for our work with the Parent Teachers Association, this organization has presented a copy of Ancient Landmarks no our high school library in our name. Mrs. Walter Curley, recently elected president of the P.T.A., brought the book to the school and at one ofthe Monday morning assemblies, Mr. Lloyd Creighton, presented the book to Barbarajones. who in turn accepted it in behalf of the club. Co-operating with the Verse Speaking Choir we sponsored the Salmagundi evening which captured the hearts of out audience. Every member of both organizations went to work and wowed them! We shared in the profits, and at a club meeting we voted to purchase some much wanted books and present them to the school. This met with the approval of all concerned. Much credit for the success of this evening is due to the co-directors, Mrs. Ruth Cote and our adviser, Mrs. Carl Etelman. The Library Club is fast becoming one of the school's leading organizations, and we are sure it will continue to be an organization of which everyone is proud to be a member.

Barry Eldridge The Science Club under the supervision of Miss Eleanor Brooks enjoyed an unusually successful year. Late inj anuaryjack Watson accompanied Miss Brooks to the Hanson Bird Sanctuary where they obtained the dimensions of wood duck houses. With the co-operation of the Voca- tional Arts Department several of these houses were built and were put into use effectively. This was done to insure us places to watch the ducks in the spring. On March 14, the Science Club participated in an excursion to the Flower Show in Boston. An entire day was spent walking through the Mechanics building and observing the thousands of exquisite flowers. ln everyones opinion the tulips provided one of the best exhibits. Tomatoes and peppers were grown and sold by certain members of the club, while others grew some very beautiful flowers. Together with the personal flowers of Miss Brooks the Science Room was kept in a highly decorative fashion. Starting late in March the Science Club planned and executed many held trips. Most of these were carried out as bird walks, and only a few were dedicated to flowers and wild animals. The Hanson Bird Sanctuary was one of most frequently visited spots, and the trips were both popular and educational. fALLAN ISHAM, '52 f 'e
