These students were not engaging in some kind of weird and mystic rites, they were simply members of the Bridge Club indulging themselves in their favorite pastime. Not only was the Bridge Club a new one at Walter Johnson this year, but most of its members were also new to the game. Their later knowl- edge and skill could be directly credited to James Gilmore, their sponsor, who taught them how to play. The officers chosen to head this group were Jean Belt, president, Helen Barbee, vice- president, Joanne Muth, secretary, and Linda Yost, treasurer. Commercial Club Girls who plan to make their future in the business world comprise the membership of the Commercial Club. During the meetings many debates and discussions were held, and frequently speakers came to tell the club about various job opportunities open to the career girl. To help the girls decide whether to go directly to work after high school to wait for further training, representatives from several of the local business schools spoke to them. The officers of the club, which was under the sponsorship of Mrs, Jean Hemple, were the following: Becky Raven, president, Diane Ziska, treasurer, and Gay Williford, secretary.

Library Club The main objective of the Library Club is to promote student interest in the library and to give its members an opportunity to partici- pate in running the library. Under the guidance of Mrs. Dorothy Bryant, the club sponsor, the members receive train- ing in library maintenance. They learn how to use library materials and how to do a large part of the work, such as checking out books and returning books to the shelves. The Club does not limit its activities to activity period, though, for its members are constantly busy before school and during the lunch periods. To organize the work effectively, the Li- brary Club was divided into separate commit- tees. The Desk Committee checked out books and helped keep the records. The Processing Committee worked in the store room, prepar- ing books for the shelves and doing minor repair work. The Shelving Committee cared for the book shelves, the Art Committee pub- licized the library facilities and such events as National Library Week and Book Week, while the Odd Jobs Committee does just what the name implies. Paul Orland headed the Club during the i958-1959 school year. The vice-president was Sally Maury, and Dewey Hart served as treasurer.

Bank The School Bank, sponsored by Mrs. Doris Westwood, is under the guidance of the bank- ing and accounting classes. In addition to giv- ing Cibfk interest on all deposits, the bank sells tickets to games, dances, plays, concerts, and other school activities, handles the money for the magazine drive, collects money for student pictures, sells yearbooks, and handles the Senior Class dues. The deposited money is invested in mortgages through the Perpetual Savings Corporation, thus deriving the interest due the various depositors. The bank is open during the three lunch periods and is available to both students and teachers. Money can be withdrawn at any time, but ample notice is appreciated on with- drawals of five dollars or more. The School Store To avoid the risk of being caught unpre- pared in class, Walter Johnson Students pack our school store before school and during the three lunch periods to stock up on paper, pen- cils, pens, maps and all other musts for school. ln addition to selling school supplies, the store carried study guides, athletic equipment, the College Outline Series, and, of course, Walter Johnson sweat shirts. Accounts were kept and the supplies were stocked by the student workers under the guidance of James Miers and Lee Bledsoe, student manager. The twenty workers, chosen from volunteers in the fall worked on a schedule of alternating shifts each week to provide us with the effi- cient service which has become a trademark of our school store.
