LIBRARY XII. Clark This year, as in the past. I spent tny hee pc-riocls in the lilnary. where I either spent my' time in reacling lor reereation or hy pteparing lor my classes. .Xt my' clisposal were hc-lplttl materials lor relerence ancl a section lor each cttrricttlar clepartment. to which I coulcl reler. Books ol Iiction. inclttcling acl- yenttne. mystery. sport. humor. hooks ol literattne. line arts. ancl biographies were also ayailahle to me. Ilns year ahottt thnty magazines were contamecl on c the shelves. Three newspapers were stthscrihecl to, one a weekly. ancl the other two clailies. The lihrarian has recatalognecl lor tts all hooks nncler the heacling ol science, languages. litc-rattne. inclttstrial arts. ancl the line arts. In case there is any' clillicnltyg the lihrarian gives tts tlte inlotmation neeclecl to locate material. In clirect connection with the lihrary' is L'-High's Book-A-Month Cltth, which is sponsorecl hy Mr. Clark. The clnh is 0l'U2illllL'll lor the purpose ol gir- D c ing us an opportunity' to gather goocl literature lor recreational reacling. ,-Xlthottgh membership was not large, there was much enthusiasm in the cltth. Lois Irwin, presiclent, conclttctecl all allairs very capahly' witlt the assistance ol' -lanet Peterson. secretary, Eleanor Pownall, puhlicity chairman. Shirley' Harper, social chairman, .mcl Margaret I.ane. hook chairntan. I was interestecl in the activities ol' the Iifltlk-.-X-IXIOIIIII cltth.

Collections ol' guns, stamps. bones, coins, hottles. menus. ancl art collecticms were clis- playecl among other things. CQKJNINIIQRCQE XII. Nlasson .Xs we grow olclel. we lincl that typing ancl hook- keeping are among the llltlsl ttselul skills we can learn. So this yezn hoth courses have heen ollerecl to tts in ottr commerce clepartment. .-Xny stttclent ol senior high cottlcl select typing. httt hookkeeping was ollerecl to only seniors. In otn typing classes we litst learn the clillerent parts ol the machine, how to clean ancl repair it, ancl how to change the lilhlltllts. .XII ol those things are necessary in any practical course. To attain speecl ancl accttracy in typing. we learn the correct lingering ancl then use practice exercises, hut may type our school papers ancl themes as well. This typing course has heen yery popttlar witlt the stu- clents hecattse ol the ttselttltiess ol' the knowleclge ol' typing. In the hookkeeping course, we learn all the lttncla- mental practices ol keeping hooks either lor ottr- selyes or lor a httsiness. In the regular pracitiee hooks are hlank lorms which the stttclents use lor practice in lioth speecl ancl acctnacy ancl are giyen experience in Iilling tllll sttch sheets. As an activity' lor practice work this year. the hookkeeping' class kept the hooks lor the ylohnson County' Christmas Seal clriye. .-Xlso as practical work, they kept the tecorcls ol the hoys in inclttstrial arts at L'-Iliglt.
