Library service was disrupted the first semester because the new library was not completed. A small collection of reference books was available in Room 205 and fiction books were dis- tributed through English classes. Much time was spent preparing for the move to the new, modern, spacious quarters in March. The new library has an audio- visual, a conference, a periodic, and a work room to supplement the main room which has space for lO,5OO books, and seats for l4O students. There is a record table supplied with earphones for quiet listening to records from the new collection. A book chute has been installed for convenient re- turn of books not overdue. EXAMININC BOOKS to make the library more complete are Miss Busseer and Miss Wilson, librarians. of blueprints. OFFICE SECRETARIES: Busy as the proverbial bees are five office secretaries who keep student records up-to- date and available for college transcripts. Mrs. Charlotte Robinson, east unit, Mrs. Evelyne Brown, central unit, and Mrs. Evelyn Sorenson, west unit, work hard to keep the general office running smoothly. Typing, filing records, answering questions of students and parents, and finding information for the principals are some of the everyday tasks that keep these women busy. ln the east unit, Mrs. Florence Brown serves as Mr. Somer's secretary and Mrs. Betty Coetcheous is Mr. Flatter's secretary. The others serve as secretaries to the various unit principals.
