LIBRARY As the population of Beverly High School increased, the library also increased in size and value. Co-operating with the Beverly Public Library, our school library was an invaluable source of material for research papers, as well as a supplement for daily classwork. This year many new books were added to the library, while magazine and newspaper subscriptions also expanded the library's resources. Mrs. Helen Willmott, the school librarian, instructed sophomore students in the use of the library and provided valuable assistance as students X searched for information to supplement their education. In Ng, addition, senior girls serving as library aids provided assist- ' 1: ance by doing clerical work at the desk. The library also provided a place to display various exhibits prepared by it outside organizations, students, and the library staff itself. B.H.S.'S CORE OF K OWLEDGE 'HR 11: I ll-I' Ni- -isis..
