THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATES When the old high school was demolished by fire, the school library with its many volumes perished. Immediately after the temporary school was established our new library began to be developed. When the new high school was completed with its modern library facilities, there was still a great need for more books. The school board with Mr. William A. Hart as advisor, began to purchase many volumes of refer¬ ence books, excellent fiction, and education¬ al texts. With this rapid growth came the n eed of a system of helpers which Mr. Hart organized and who became—our Library Associates. This group of efficient, well- trained students have taken over their duties in a businesslike manner and have made great strides in their work. Under the supervision and guidance of Mrs. Mc- Qua.rrie they installed the Dewey Decimal System, the catalogue, etc. Th rapid growth of the library from 800 books has necessitated the introduction of fines for overdue books. The school is proud of this able and effi¬ cient group of girls who meet with Mr. Hart to discuss their problems and try to improve their department.

THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Somerset High School Student Coun¬ cil was organized and established in 1935 in the temporary high school, at the Village School. Elmer Burt of the Senior Class was the president, Estelle Mackey, vice-presi¬ dent, and Mary Hayden, secretary. Four delegates (two boys and two girls) were se¬ lected from each class by the faculty, to represent their respective classes. This first Student Council did much to establish this legislative body for the school and for future councils. It made the by¬ laws and designated its power in the hand¬ ling of school affairs. In its third year, and in this, its fourth year, its members are elected by the classes, two councilors and the four officers. The Student Council officers are elected by the school body or the so-called Student Associa¬ tion of which the Student Council is the governing body or advisory board. The Student Council has tried to solve the problems of the student body and aid the faculty in making Somerset High School a better school. Mr. A. J. O’Toole is the faculty advisor of this organization and has done much to guide it in its endeavors.
