LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was formed this year under the direction and guidance of Miss Ronnei. Membership in the Library Club brings with it the responsibility of working during free periods and after school as an assistant librarian. An assistant librarian has such tasks as checking out books, keeping the library in good order, and supervising discipline in the library. Student librarians lighten the load of the chief librarian while they also learn many new things. lingo Thirty-tlirrc

The plot and characters of this three act mystery and comedy are as follows: The entire play takes place in the Brooklyn home of the Brewster family, where Abigail fAnnette Hok- kanenj and Martha Brewster fDorothy Deutsch- landerj, old maid sisters, carry on one of their charities - namely, helping poor, lonely old gentlemen to find peace and contentment by offering them home-made elderberry wine with arsenic, strychnine and just a pinch of cyanide mixed in. To add to the situation, another Brewster - Teddy fNeil Broerenl who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt, buries the victims in the Panama Canal which he has dug in the cellar. The plot thickens when Jonathon Brewster fCarl Johnsonj returns to the home of his youth bringing two friends with him, Dr. Einstein fRichard Algerl and Mr. Spanalzo 1Roger Podholaj, a corpse. The only sane member of the family - Mortimer Brewster fEdward Bienoj, who is in love with Elaine Har- per Cliathleen Badzinskij, rushes madly around getting doctors' signatures on legal papers to commit his family to Happy Dale Sanitariumf' Other characters, such as the police officers, fRonald Schultze, Chester Przybylski, Leon Kotecki, and Nancy Lindquistj, Mrs. Witherspoon fFlorence Przybylskil, and Mrs. Harper CDonelda Karn0PPl all helped to bring this play to a hilarious and action-packed climax. Much credit must be given to the production staff, consisting of Ruth Bogumill, Dorothy Bad- zinski, Gordie Hansen, Jude Schmidt, Louis Car- penter, Robert Benzschawel, Dean Liazuk, and Estelle Wargolet, for their many hours of work. This play, under Mr. Wenninger's direction, was a great success, and the crowd which attended was the largest in years. Page Thirty-two

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council, the governing body of the high school was organized five years ago to bring democratic principles to the school. Three seniors are elected to serve on the council. Two students are chosen from each of the other respective classes. This year's work began by electing Ruth Bogumill as President, Bernice Butter- field, Vice President, and Catherine Conway, Secretary-Treasurer. Guided by Mr. Amundson, the council undertook many projects, such as the student handbook, dances, and the Christmas Ball. A great accomplishment of the Student Council this year was the installation of the hall monitor system. This system necessitates every student, upon leaving a classroom during a class period, to present the hall monitor with a colored pass from the classroom teacher. The purpose of this system is to eliminate unnecessary traffic in the halls during classtime. Each student on the Student Council is trying to develop a better understanding of government and its procedure, thereby, making our school a better place in which to live and work. Diane Zaborowski and Richard Alger served as council advisors during the first se1neste1'. Standing:4 Michael Sneirler, Davidkfiuell, Dan VYingcr, Ronald Schultze.
