THE PINE TREE LITERARY CLUB The Pine Tree Library Club is composed of students who volunteer to help the school by serving as librarians. It is the only club in school which is strictly for service. Any upperclassman is eligible to take a short course in Library Science conducted by the sponsor, Mrs. Anderson. This course covers cataloging, classification, charging and discharging of books, reference work, etc. Candidates receiving the highest rank are chosen for school librarians. These students work one period a day in the library and attend a weekly meeting at which library problems are discussed. For this service they receive two Academic credits each year, and the completion of two years they earn a white R outlined upon a book design. The club has had two social functions this year: a private tasting party and a Valentine party with invited guests. Both were enjoyable. Officers this year are President, Barbara Adleyg Vice-President, Theresa Harpeg Secretary, Jean Whyte, Treasurer, Beverly Bronstein. Other members: Diantha Taylor, Jean Fisher, Cecile Cantin, Elmina Barrieau, Margaret Fisher, Louise Press, Margaret McKinnon, Irene Beaudet, Lois Holland, and Doris Knight. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT '

BAND Although the Stephens High School Band has lost many members recently due to war conditions it has not suffered in regard to quality. At the beginning of the school year the band was immediately called together to play for assemblies and football games. A little later in the year it played for the Four-H club which was held in the Municipal Building. Armistice Day the band marched and played for memorial services at the Greens. During the activity periods, the band practices very conscientiously. During the Easter Season Mr. Harry Cohen, our leader, became ill and the band played Easter Sunday under the capable direction of Mr. Peter Beeaker. Since the absence of Mr. Cohen there have been no band practices, but we are looking forward to even more successful year next fall. New members will be needed as we will lose some members through graduation. One of the Band's former members, P. F. C. Norman Roy, who left school to join the Marines, was killed in action on Iwo Jima. - Next year, Mr. Cohen plans to bring to the band many new members whom he has been instructing this year.
