i rarians The Librarians consist of a group of fifteen students. Their meetings are held once a month, second period. At these meetings, they plan parties, take inventory of books, and repair damaged books. They usually have three parties a year, a hike for the new members in the fall, a Christmas party, and another in the spring. While at the library tables, the librarians help other students to find books and instruct them in the use of the files so they can find the books themselves if no librarians are present. The Librarians was formed when the school was built, but it has been under the supervision of a faculty member only three years. Sittixig: Rgsemary Moore, Bernadine Carrico.

CICHCC The Science Club of Vandalia Community High School was organized in 1943, by Miss Marjorie Pryor, the science teacher at that time. Since then the club has been carrying on good work with a large membership. The club is divided into different groups including aeronautics, chemistry, first aid, conservation, tarridermy, astronomy, and plaster casting. Before you become a full-fledged member of this club, you must complete one project and earn lOU points by attending club meetings, helping with the program, etc. Thereafter, each member must complete one project a semester. The purpose of this club is to cultivate an interest in the vast field of science. First Row: Mr. Matthews, I. Denton, I. Sharp, R. Merriman, I. Eakin, P. Isbell, N. Wright, A. Spinner.

An election is held each semester to give each boy a chance to become familiar with correct parliamentary procedure. During the meetings, talks are given by outside speakers and by the members. A Parent and Son Banquet, prepared by the club members, is held each year. Each boy earns credits by selling concessions at noon, after school, and at gamesp and these credits are used to pay his expenses on trips and for banquets. The club formed an advisory committee the first semester to aid in having a fair. It also held several parties for the Home Economics Club during the year, and had various contests such as oration, judging, and livestock shows. First Row: M. Trexler, D. Ierden, N. Williams, A.

The Vandalia Chapter consists of 120 girls who meet the first period the first Tuesday of every month. The program consists of ,four divisions: business, educational, welfare, and social. Under the educational program they had a demonstration on personal appearance, a talk on flower arrangements by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, and a talk on the Funny Side of Public Health Nursing by Miss Scaife, the county nurse. At Christmas time the girls sent gifts to the con- valescent soldiers at Scott Field. They also contributed to the Red Cross and Infantile Paralysis Drive. For the social program, the girls entertained the F. F. A. boys at a party. The initiation was divided into two parts, the formal service and the humorous. The club has adopted a new point system to wear the F. H. A. pin. In order that every member may have an active part in the organization, the members are divided into groups to earn money for the Mother Daughter Banquet. Some of the groups sell pop corn and candy at games, and others serve lunches at noon to the grade school children. Our chapter sent six representatives--Iris Brooks, Dorothy Forbes, Betty Baldwin, Beatrice Krug, Donna I-Iamby, and Elsie Arndt-to the sectional meeting at Sa- lem. Beatrice Krug was elected vice president, and Dorothy Forbes, parliamentarian. Q522 First Row: L. Cole, M. Brugato, G. Chand- ler, M. Henson, D. Gates, R. Miles, P. Isbell. Second Row: N. Wright, C.
