Library and Guidance Offer Serenity in the Midst of a Hectic Day During the busy course of a-school day, there are a few places where a student can gain a calm and peaceful atmos- phere. Two of these places are the Library and the guidance office. In the Library, under the direction of Mrs. Ramsey, a student can escape to books. If problems trouble him, whether with school or home, Miss Burnette is always will- ing to listen. Miss Burnette solves a students scheduling problem by simply switching her study hall. Seeming mountains become mole- hills in this office. Miss Burnette adds new material to her bookrack, which is always filled with latest college information. ‘ Mrs. Ramsey proudly displays the several modern novels given to the library by the Beta Club. Keeping her card catalog up to date is a constant job for the librarian, Mrs. Ramsey. 2!
