The Library Staff An efficacious library is an essential part of every well-organized school. A competent staff consisting of approximately seventy members, under the super- vision of Miss Hazel Merry, gains additional education as a result of their interest and labor among books. For some time after the opening of the school library in October, 193 5, The Library Staffi' was known as The Library Clubv until the members agreed to hold meetings during the school day, and to become known as The Library Staff. All staff members must be present at the meetings, therefore marked improve- ment in service has been noticeable. All members now hear suggestions for the betterment of the library routine and for the formulation of policies. By granting permission for meetings during school hours, Dr. Pierce has formally recognized the staff as a service organization. For their work, the staff members are recompensed by social affairs such as informal dances, parties and book-review days. The officers are Henry Hebda, president, Mitchell Bratko, vice-presidentg Loretta Dzierzanowski, secretary, Casimira Grochowski, treasurer, Leopold Kozi- mor, sergeant-at-arms.
