Librarian This year's Library Club has a total of 30 regular members, more than 20 of whom have worked over 20 hours during their lunch hours and activity periods. The routine work done by club members includes looking after returned books, putting books away, collecting fines, charging books, keeping maga- zines in order, keeping the shelves tidy and in the proper order, and mending. In December, 1964, the club began its major project for 1964-1965; a complete invent- ory of all the books in the li- brary was to be taken. The li- brary was closed for circulation purposes for almost two weeks while club members busily re- corded the accession number, author and title of each book on the shelves. This was only the first step in a gigantic task. By the end of February, the list of all the books available in the library w ill be in correct numer- ical order. This list will be the basis of the next major 'task fac- ing the librarian and the Libra- ry Club: the reorganization of the card catalogue. Some Library Club members also look after book circulation during English periods spent in the library and thus, at this • time as at many other times, ensure the relatively smooth operation of all facets of the school library. A COMEDY SKIT, "Be Home at Midnight," provided a lot of fun for the two -night concert at WDHS last week. Here John Watson, Lynda Reavie and Louis Stadelman, three of the stars, talk it up during the play.—Yearbook Photo.
