Pkblfbkvlsak The Library Groveton High School is proud, at last, to have a new library which is conducted like a real one. Miss Bond, with the aid of pupils, labored long and hard to make this library a success. Every book is catalogued and none leaves the library without being recorded. Our library boasts of many helpful new books and magazines which are well taken care of by the students. Credit for this fine library is due Miss Bond, to the Manual Training Department, and several appointed student librarians. A survey made in the third week of March showed that the library had been used 7,109 times. The largest number of visits to it was made by Richard Chase, who had a total of 104. Seventeen pupils have never been in the library, but the rest of us have greatly appreciated its efficiency.
