William Allen High School - 1950
The photo of the Library Club which appeared in the 1950 William Allen High School yearbook. It reads at top:
"These students aren't bookworms, but they do like to read and enjoy working in our school library during their study hall periods. Their duties consist of shelving books, helping at the desk, reading shelves, and planning attractive displays for the show cases. At their regular Monday meetings, they are given problems to test their knowledge of special reference books.
The Library Club celebrated Book Week by sponsoring a book and magazine quiz which was given in all three assembly programs. The winner in each of the programs received a year's subscription to a magazine of his choice. Other outstanding activities included entertaining of the faculty at their annual tea, the selling of candy, souvenirs, etc. at the Girls' Physical Education Exhibition, and the presentation of the Bohemian Glass Blowers.
This club is an excellent organization for students interested in books and for those anticipating a library career."
