This year's officers are: President, Mae Ruth Stone, vice-president, Bob Dick Spencer, secretary, Shirley Ballard, and treasurer, Jean Day. The T Club members have presented several programs this year. A pageant for American Education Week, The Cavalcade of Freedom, was presented before the high school assembly. Jean Day, Wilma Smith, Bob Dick Spencer, Bill Sawyer, and Shirley Ballard discussed education at a P.E.O. meeting. A P.E.O. Founder's Day radio play was given by Shirley Plahn, Marilyn Harp, Wilma Smith, Rose Ellen Vinyard, Ruth Roper, Sarah May, and Mae Ruth Stone. Our Christmas plays were Little Immortal, with Shirley Plahn, Lorena Spencer, Rose Marian Cannedy, and Sue Carol Silvernail, and Christmas Windows, in which some Washington Grade School children took part. Both were presented at the Methodist Church. Little Immortal, with Sue Mitchell, Rita Welch, Wilma Moulton, and Jean Day was given before the assembly on the after- noon of December 22. The T Club also had a potluck supper with the high school facul- ty as guests. After supper eighteen new members were initiated. There was more interest in T Club this year than has been shown for a long time, and many of the members entered the Sectional Contest in March. The play given at the contest was The Chimney Corner.

DONIICY, H. wma gm The Librarians were pleasantly surprised when they returned in September, for during the summer vacation Mr. Langley had made a student librarian's desk and a new bookcase. Approximately 85 new books had been purchased during the summer, and the librarians were busy for several weeks because everyone was anxious to read those books. A pamphlet file was added to the library this year. A shelf list was made at the beginning of the first semester and typed during the second semester. Several new magazines beckoned invitingly from their places in the magazine rack. The system of regular librarians and assistants in both the general and reserve libraries was continued this year. Two students were assigned to 621611 D6I'i0d- If U16 1'9gl1laI' 1ib1'aI'i21I1 WHS absent, the assistant took his place.
