rary Staff . OFFICERS This year the student librarians decided to form a staff instead of a club, meeting each Wednesday afternoon. The staff, under the direction of its sponsor, Miss Achauer, proved President . . . . to be one of the most active organizations in WALTER SHILLINGER school. It purchased attractive charms, indica- tive of membership. A new idea adopted by the staff was that of electing honorary members, Secremry and students who aided the staff in various ways, Treasurer but who did not work regularly. The members were divided into committees who decorated EXIELYN BRAUCKSIEKER the bulletin boards in the library bi-Weekly according to their own ideas. Book Week was given much consideration and as a result several displays were made, and an auditorium session was given. Clyde Oberlin was given the task of reporting our activities to the Flash- light-a task he performed excellently. To pay for its picture in the Welhisco, the staff gave a Bake Sale and each member was assessed small dues for two weeks. Money was raised for a gift to the library by selling shorthand notebooks, refreshments at the Backward Dance, candy, and newspapers. The group enjoyed a spread in the fall, and several feasts before the fireplace. The library staff was host to the junior high librarians at a Christmas party given in the library. A bus trip was taken to several libraries where practical ideas were obtained for use in our own library. Another trip took the group to the Freund Bakery, The final social event of the year was a picnic. l-ronl row' Schubert, XVoIfu, Rosemuycr, Braucksickcr, Second row: Srlgnll, Powers.
