Since the Club did not function last year, a new group of officers was elected. They are: presi- dent, Rose Marian Cannedyg vice-president, Sue Carol Silvernailg secretary, Dick Ilans- bergerg and treasurer, Mary Wise. The Speech Club is the spring-board for contest training. This event is of great interest and incentive to our students. In this club everyone is interested in some type ol' speech activity. If he does not participate, he is dropped from membership. The Club gives the members an opportunity to appear before a group. It meets once every two weeks and students volunteer to appear on the program. All types of interpretative ma- terial are made available to them. Members may practice after school until five o'clock and, when a special program is being prepared, after dinner until nine o't-lock. Inter- pretation, acting, and contest activities are carried on by the club and are extra-cnr- ricular. Since interpretation is so very personal, we have found that best results come as a result of special outside work. MRS. THELMA WILKINSON. TWENTY-SIX

As in the past, the library has been conducted by student librarians under the supervision of Miss Ainsworth. The library staff consists of regular librarians and as- sistant librarians who work in their absence. Students who work in the library for the first time meet once a week to study the correct library procedures. New bookcases were installed under the blackboard on the south side of the li- brary. Forty new books were ordered during the first semester and approximately the same number were ordered during the second semester. During Book Week, which was the week of November 16-22, there was a display of the new books in the Yur-Shop window. In order to interest students in the work of the Library Club, to reward the li- brarians who have worked diligently and :faithfully to improve the library and to assist students in finding the material they need, the members of the club voted to purchase library pins which will be awarded at the end of each semester to those who have ful- filled their requirements. The requirements for the library pins are: TWENTY-EIGHT
