Reader's Guide Increasing your eye-span. Mrs. Lenore E. Shea Jim Ramsay, Mrs. Marian E. Corbett Our library, under the able super- vision of Miss Minetti and Mrs. Shea, has aided us greatly. It is well equipped with visual aid rooms and reference and fiction books in twenty-three sections, ranging from science to romance. Our larger library provides room for an aver- age of a thousand new books. Speed reading for college prepara- tory students and reading improvement for English students were the courses of- fered by Mrs. Corbett. The tachistoscope, which widens the eye span, the reading accelerator, and other machines were an aid in her classes. Keeping the books in order Miss Josephine Minetti
