Library Club 49 ...I The members of the Library Club, who give up their study halls in order to work in the library, are on the job before school, after school, all six periods of the day, five days a week. Besides doing the jobs such as checking books in and out, or shelving them, they perform many more duties 'Lbehind the lines . In this past year they processed and put on the shelves 325,525.25 worth of books. These books had to be catalogued by author, title, and subject and recorded with all other pertinent facts noted in several files. They had to be stamped, have pockets pasted in them, be lettered as to call number, sprayed to pre- serve them, and innumerable other steps performed before they were ready to be alphabetized and put on the shelves. Yet, if hard-working they are, oldsfashioned and dowdy they're not. They follow modern parliamentary procedure by electing a president, this year's being the capable Barbara Gregory, and have had a winner, Terry Schneider, in the Calendar Contest two years running. Much is owed to two other winners, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Wilmore, who together with their student mem- bers have made this club the success it is. The Art Club, sponsored by Mr. Raymond and led this past year by its president Barbara Cunningham, has done much to brighten and enliven Seneca halls. The bulletin board in the front hall, which exhibited cartoons, profiles, still lifes, and scenic drawings, was so good that one could see students studying it at almost any time of day. The members also began an eight by twelve mosaic which will be presented to the Large Cafeteria on completion. The materials for this mosaic mural were collected on field trips during which sketching was also done. Other field trips were made to galleries in the city for observations and discussions. lt's hoped that in the future they will also be able to have a guest critic come to comment on their work. I83

Chess Team James Peak, the captain of Seneca's Chess Team, looked on as a member of the team carefully placed his king in front of his opponent's bishop. The boy smiled triumphantly and said '4Checkmatel as he quickly cleared the board. This was Thursday and just one of the practice games the team plays at their regular sessions after school. Yes, this was a practice game-the real test would be playing against other schools in Jefferson County. With the help and sponsorship of Mr. Raymond, they show everyone that Seneca is not only tops in sports, but in brains, too. l82 Future Homemakers of America The aroma permeated the school. It was the smell of freshly cooked peaches, sugar, and other ingredients that went in to the making of peach preserves. These jars, filled to the brim with the delectable golden mass, would soon be the high- light of a breakfast for many of Seneca's teach- ers. The Future Homemakers of America have been busy over hot stoves all day stirring up this delight. With the sponsorship of Mrs. Har- din these girls have been learning the art of homemaking.

Seneca's Helpers From the top of the third floor to its very foundation, Seneca shines with a well polished, scrubbed, and swept air. This is due to the many long hours of work our custodians have devoted to us. Waxing yards of hall floor or just repairing the pencil sharpeners, they are a vital part of what keeps Seneca going every day. Another stimulus is the group of dedicated dieti- cians who daily prepare our lunch. Well- balanced, tasty, and nutritious meals help mold the champion athletes and intelli- gent scholars we boast of. Another group we are dependent upon is the bus drivers. Snow or sunshine, they transport us to school safely and punctually. To all of Seneca's Helpers, Redskins extend a special thank-you for a decade of service to our school. Our Seneca Custodians is Fixing fried chicken-one of our favorite dishes. Mr. Carmichael reflects upon a busy day. Lots of hard work goes on in Senecafs kitchen. The lunchroom ladies create a tasty salad I84
