Comfort Attended Mrs. Bouvet knows the way to every Bethesda stu- dent’s heart by the tempting lunches she and her staff prepare. With the ringing of the bell at 12 o’clock, hungry hoards rush to the cafeteria in a constant stream until 1:30. A new system of lunch scheduling was initiated this year which relieves the crowded condition. Always ready with a smile and a friendly word, Mrs. McKinncll tends to the storehouse of information found in the library. She helps us search for the pamphlets and books needed in our search for knowledge. No matter how remote the information we want may be, we arc sure to find it in the 5700 books of our library. Since 1953 the library has occupied the space where the Bethesda Public Library was. When a new building was constructed for the Public Library, our library moved into the rooms which it had formerly occupied in the basement of the Science Building. Mrs. McKinncll, school librarian, shows one of the new books to one of the library assistants.
