An estimated 716 classes from the science, social studies and English departments, and a total traffic of 125,000 students visited the library this year. They made valuable use of the large supply of library ref- erence books, including encyclopedias, atlases, and the Readers, Guide, as well as the magazine room, for re- search work and term papers, required in many classes. Approximately 2000 new books are purchased for the library each year, bringing the total this year to l8,5l3.

'Good Health is Absence of Disease, Well-Being' Can Shirley Allen hear it? wonders Nurse Leona Korttila as she dials a higher frequency pitch in a hearing test. Health is not merely the absence of disease, but a general well-being, says Mrs. Leona Korttila, school nurse. Mrs. Korttila serves students by giving first aid to those who are injured or become ill at school. She also helps them with health problems, and keeps up-to- date information for their use in making special re- ports for health and biology classes. Teachers are informed of any health problems involving their pupils, and parents can consult the nurse about their children at any time.
