14 Glad Providing programs for Assemblies was the job of the Assembly Club, a job that turned out to be lots of work along with the fun. When we met with Miss McKinney, our advisor, the ideas would fly thick and fast. Putting them into shape was a different matter. But we had lots of fun presenting our student sing early in the year, followed by a variety show that brought down the house. The quiz show later on really put the students, and faculty too, through their paces. Everyone seemed to enjoy the programs we did put on a great deal, and we enjoyed the experience we got out of it. We are very grateful to Miss McKinney for her help and guidance and for helping make our Assembly Club a real success.

W Our club attended the Northwestern district conference of the Pennsyl- vania Federation of junior Historians, held in Meadville this year. john Hannigan, elected president at the meeting held in Titusville last year, pre- sided over the meeting on .Xpril 26. VVe joined this group in I9-18, and last year one of our booklets was published in their bi-yearly magazine, The junior Historian. During the Pennsylvania XN'eek celebration our club was called upon to place an exhibit on display at the Y. M. C. A. Ours was the only educational exhibit in an otherwise completely industrial presentation. VVe met with our advisor, Miss Clark, during activities period on Monday. afzfiilq Glad Every boy that has earned a letter in a varsity sport or any girl with two years of cheerleading to her credit is eligible to become a member of the Varsity Club. The purpose of the club is: To improve the scholastic standing of the athletes of Colestock High School 3 to aid the athletic authorities in every way possible and to produce athletic teams whose members are worthy represen- tatives of the student body. This year to obtain funds to buy athletic sweaters and awards, we sold air-filled cushions for the comfort of the spectators at games. VVe also operated hot dog concessions at the various athletic events. - em A book on Pennsylvania, please, said a voice. Here you are. Please bring it back before next Friday, was the polite response of our efficient student librarian. This girl was one of the twenty-two members of our Librarians' Club, which meets in the Library every Thursday during Activities Period. Many interesting things are discussed during our meetings, such as how to classify books, how to make displays, and how to help other students with reference work. At the beginning of the year we were each assigned a shelf to our care. This includes putting books back and keeping the shelf in order. Two of us work at the desk each period. VVe also learn how to select books for the library. The chief purpose of our club is to give girls who are interested in books and future library work a chance to learn about this field. Our advisor is Miss Carson.

SIWZMIG ' The Student Council of Titusville High School is a link between the student body and the faculty. Two members from each home room are elected to this organization, enabling all of the students to be represented. At our bi-weekly meetings we have an opportunity to express our ideas to the faculty, and in return learn the views of the school officials toward student activities. During the course of the school year many things were accomplished. The writing of a new constitution was our major project. Additional activities included the selection of assemblies for next year, sponsoring dances after the basketball games, and formation of a committee to keep the building and grounds more neat. eolefifack Siege eaew Behind the scene at every Colestock dramatic production there's a lot of work going on,-the kind of work that takes a lot of time and brings very little glory. The Stage Crew fills the tasks of operating the stage lights and setting up and operating the spot lights, moving the properties, and cleaning up after each event. Silently and depcndably this reliable crew worked to make each production at Colestock a memorable event. 4mm Glad Over 90 boys enrolled this year in Colestock's Farm Club. which is open to anyone interested in the agricultural field. In addition to our regular meetings we made several trips, including visits to the Valley View Turkey Farm and the G. L. F. Feed Store. Agricultural movies aided greatly in making our club program instructional and worthwhile. Our advisor and the one who arranged our trips and programs was Mr. Brady.
