#tbt

Here's another #tbt for Mepham's 80th Anniversary! This one is from the 1960 Treasure Chest (Mepham's yearbook). This was the first year in Mepham history that Library Club members were awarded their M's. What's an 'M" you ask? "Boys and girls, large and small, strolling about the school with Varsity "M"-adorned jackets and sweaters have been the envy of the wide-eyed frosh. It always has been the desire of Mephamites to gain their "M's." If these letters were awarded indiscriminately, they would soon lose their value; therefore those students only, who have contributed to the school in some outstanding way, are awarded Varsity "M" letters." Explanation courtesy of the 1944 Treasure Chest.

Library Club 

Putting books away, dusting them, filing magazines and cards - these are but a few of the many tasks performed by the girls in Library Club. These girls, chosen on the basis of scholarship and the aptitude they displayed during their six-week apprenticeship in their sophomore year, are vital to our library's efficiency and pleasantness. 

Each girl is required to work six hours a week and when she accumulates 200 hours she is awarded the coveted silver key. Also, this was the first year Library Club members were awarded their well-deserved Varsity M's.

 Another addition to the library this year was Miss Cope. With Mrs. Oberbach and the 22 library members, no one is ever neglected upon entering the library.
