Library Club: more than keeping students quiet Library Club did more than just check books out to students. Members sacrificed prep periods to assist librarians in doing many behind-the-scenes chores, offering a variety of talents. Creativity was needed to decorate the display case in the hall. Patience was needed to cope with question-filled students who straggled in. Organization was needed to properly file the massive card catalog. Above all, a sense of responsibility was imperative to keep students informed and the volume down. LIBRARY CLUB — BOTTOM ROW: M. Billmon, J. Bruitod, J. Brutfod. ROW 2: K. Trovtftftw, V. Hotter, A. Bruhelm, J. Fithmon. As Patti Brodt checks out a book, Judy Fishman emphasizes the importance of returning materials within the three-week deadline. Jeanne Andersen and Vicki Hoffer use an oversized book to hide from question-filled students filling the library. 20
