Library Club The Library Club is established mainly to provide reading time for students. This year's thirty club members have diverse interests. Their interests are broadened by discussing the different kinds of books they have read. Al- though reading is the most widely practiced activity, the club is respon- sible for the display case. To add va- riety to the meetings of the club, Bliss Moyer, the adviser has ordered movies about library work. The members ap- ply this newly acquired knowledge by helping the library assistants. In this way the students not only are given the opportunity to read for pleasure, but also gain valuable training in library work. The enjoyment ol' poetry. The wonderful world of books! The Literature Club was organized to enable students to increase their under- standing of prose and poetry. lt pro- vided a pleasant half-hour of reading literature with lllr. Diehl, the adviser. During the year the elub read lllerchant of Venice by Shakespeare, and several modern poems. The members were for- tunate to have Mr. Hartman explain the poem, Ash lvednesdayf' For added enjoyment the club took a day's trip to New York.
