4 Literary Guild DID YOU NEED notecards, dictionaries, history notes, steno pads, tempera paints, or a good book to read over that long vacation? Perhaps you were one of the students who sought these things in Wasson's bookstore run by the Literary Guild. Along with these helpful items for students, the bookstore's inventory included many new books. A few of these were The Communist Manifesto, Hiller and Nazism, Amer- ican History After 1865, and Catcher in the Rye. Literary Guild's new sponsor was Mr. Brinton. Each of the club's officers had specific duties. President Mary Voyles handled book orders, work schedules, and assisted the other committees. Vice- president Kris Berkeland attended I.C.C. meetings and headed the publicity committee. Marcia Fisher, secretary-treasurer, took charge of all club records and headed her assisting records committee. Susie Roberts was chairman of the selections committee which chose and reviewed all new books. Is it a disaster, great theft, or new sales record? No, it is Susie Roberts eyeing a new shipment of books before beginning sorting operations.

Students were invited to put their original art, prose, and poetry works into the green Penman mailbox in the library. The editors chose appropriate materials and included them in the Penman, which was then issued to the students in early Nlay. The Penman section editors, the staff, and Nlr. Bridgman, sponsor, met at least once each month throughout the school year. ln order to be qualified for a position on the staff, a student needed his English teacher's recommendation and the approval of the publication's sponsor.
