Library Club Eighteen members constituted the staff of the Library Club during its second year of organization. Before a person may be accepted as a library staff member, she must serve an apprenticeship— or probationary period—of six months. To earn a first award, a librarian must work one full year of two periods each week in addition to the probationary period. A silver pin is the second award and is given at the completion of two full years of work, not including apprenticeship. In order to qualify for the highest award, a gold pin, the librarian must complete her apprenticeship plus three full years of regular library duty. Some of the activities of the Library Club were a trip to several of the interesting business places in La Crosse, a play at the teachers’ college, and a picnic. The work of a librarian provides an excellent opportunity to gain poise, dependability, and the ability to work with people. President and Head Librarian Elizabeth llaaland Vice-President Donna Vruwink Secretary Catherine Nuttelman Treasurer Mildred Lee Adviser Mrs. Sanders Oriole Staff The ORIOLE staff was organized for the second successful year with thirty people winning positions on the staff. After deliberation, it was decided that it would be the goal of the group to put out six editions of the paper during the school year. Money for publishing the paper was raised through subscriptions, advertising, and an interest in one of the concessions. By working together, the staff has been able to put out a paper that is a credit to the school. The ORIOLE is now past due the probationary stage and is definitely a part of the West Salem high school. Editor-in-chief.........
