Editor............................Wayne Willard Assistant Editor..................Betty Lew Rowe Sponsor..................................Miss Lee The Saukee Scoops staff was composed of members of the second hour Creative English class. The co-editor with the aid of Miss Lee, the sponsor, chose the other members of the staff for their respective positions. Besides the regular weekly issue of news, the staff sponsored a special Christmas edition in which appeared original poems, stories, and editorials, about Christmas as well as the news. Eleanor Akin designed a most attractive and appropriate cover page for this edition. There were several new features in the Saukee Scoops this year and some of the old features were omitted. Another new practice was to have the news in by Thursday, so it would be ready to go to the newspaper on Friday. The members of the Saukee Scoops staff are truly grateful to Miss Lee for her helpful and untiring efforts in making the Saukee Scoops a better newspaper. We wish the staff of next year all the luck in the world. Twenty-nine

LIBRARY BACK ROW: G. Saylor, D. Clift, K. White, M. Wassell, C. Harter, R. Trautwein, I. Chappell. FRONT ROW: Miss Wells. L. J. Smith, J. Eckert, E. Williams, D. Brosie, L. Ruble. K. Roberts, I. Manker. J. Donohoo. Sponsor. Miss Wells The library, one of the most important parts of the high school, is in charge of Miss Wells, assisted by student librarians. The students were volunteers approved by a teachers' committee composed of Miss Dell, Mr. Kindle, and Miss Wells. The student librarians serve in twos for each period of the day, while Miss Wells also gives one period each day to the library. The students check books and magazines in and out and try to keep the books in order and looking as neat as possible. When new books arrive, the sponsor classifies and catalogues them and with the aid of the fifth-hour librarians during the past year, has prepared them for school use. The new books added to the library this year have dealt chiefly with material on the armed forces, though a new set of Compton's encyclopedias and several copies of the Macmillan Modem dictionary were also added. All in all the library is a very busy place most of the time. Thirty
