This was the product of that hardworking group of seventeen who also made book reviews and worked at the loan desk-ethe Library Club. This two year old club met once a month on Friday. The purposes of the club were to underst.md library practices, to gain an appreciation of good books, and to help keep the library interesting and attractive. In addition to the actual library work, the members of the club had other activities, sur-li as participating in one radio program, advertising Book Week in November, arrang- ing a special display for Christmas and helping in the book drives. The annual social event was a picnic at the end of the year. .The members elected their othcers this year as follows: president, Mary Hurstg vice president, Margaret Huthngtong treasurer, Nona Sylvester, and secretary, Pat Lawrence.

Kupfer. uniaaefczu The lights dimmed, the curtains parted, and University High students and friends settled back to enjoy Girl Shy, one of the most humorous plays in recent years. The time was 8:15 on the evening of November 17, 1944, and the place was Capen Auditorium. Merle Murray, as girl shy Tom Arsdale, Pat Hollowell, as Barbara Sanford, and Everette Roeder, as Oke Stimson, were the leading characters. Other members of the cast were Charlotte Miller, joan Kupfer, Glen Murray, Corinne Carson, Marcella Pearson, Irv Tick, Yvonne Maxey, David Brazelton, and John Teter. The story concerns Babs Sanford and her struggles to catch Tom Arsdale. Of course, many complications arise. Mr. G. Banber, a newcomer to University High, was the splendid director. He was assisted by Miss Maxine Miller, Miss Patricia Weldon, and Peggy Minch. The make-up committee consisted of Gretchen Gottschalk, and Oleta Lanigan. Costumes were in charge of Charlotte Geske, Barbara Kauth, and Dorothy Ragland. On the property committee were Polly Flesher and Wanda Bundy.
