Librarians Anticipate New Facility Librarian Mrs. Ruby Austin and her assistant Mrs. Do- reen Jenkins anticipated the construction of a new library scheduled to be completed some time in 1986. Mrs. Austin, who has been at Chugiak since it opened in 1964, saw the school outgrow its first library (presently the computer room) and now overcrowd the current one. She stated, I can squeeze 160 students into the library now, but no one can do anything. She ' d like to be able to seat at least 180 comfortably. Mrs. Austin ' s wish list included more storage space for books and magazines, a viewing room, at least two conference rooms, laminating machines, a restroom, computer room, and a workroom. She also fervently hoped for a decent copying machine. Mrs. Jenkins syllogized the situation. Because reading is the door to greater understanding and we need books to read, and to have books it is necessary to have a place to store them; therefore, for the pursuit of knowledge, Chu- giak needs a new library. Mrs. Austin further commented that without full-time help it ' s hard to keep up and give the kind of service I ' d like.

Guards Offer More Than Security Mr. Mike Shultz described his mam rcsponsibiliiy as a security guard as ■ maintaining a reasonable learning at- mosphere. Mr. Shultz, Mrs. Vera Bergman, and Mr. Steve Novelli watched for fights, drugs, and thefts; as well as taking care of locker problems, picking up attendance forms, patrolling the halls, and contacting parents regard- ing student absences. Mrs. Bergman, known to all as Vera, became a security guard for a chance to work with people. Of the five years she has been at Chugiak, Vera felt that the 84-85 school year was one of the easiest as far as student behavior problems went, though she added with a grin, I ' m lough — I ' ll break up any fight. It sounds corny, Shultz said m agreement, but this year ' s group of students is the best I have ever been in- volved with. He saw a lot of school spirit and maintained, You can have a lot of fun within the rules. I do! Shultz stated that he enjovs working with kids, and he takes pride in his ability to intimidate. Basically, kids want to be honest. All they need sometimes is a little prompting. TOP LEFT: Displaying superhuman strength.
