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

Ever seen a park with more litter than people? If SO, you've probably been frustrated by the lack of opportunities to help out, but take heart — there’s always PSEP, Park Students for Environmental Protection. This group is dedicated to cleaning up the environment in St. Louis Park. Decorating trash cans, planting trees and listening to speakers for Westwood Hills Nature Center, PSEP members did more than just hold meetings — THEY ACTED!!! 21 During Thursday afternoon club meetings, PSEP members try to learn as much about the environment as possible. Al Ludtke gives a slide presentation on the Westwood Hills area.
