Mrs. Harding, Miss Bierly, Miss Rose rx THEOFFICE To the new comer the office is an intensely bewildering place. Every- thing has an efficient, superior air, everyone is confident and purposeful- the clerks friendly yet calmly disinterested, the students-jovially impor- tant. The telephone jangles impetuously-information is exchanged. The bell for changing classes breaks the ordered quiet. A wave of activity. Teachers and students swarm in . . . a cluster about the phone . . . a line before the desk. Voices rise in laughter . . . in momentary irritation . . . voices demanding, voices pleading, joking, explaining. All this the new comer takes in through a veil of nervousness. Wasn't the principal, Mr. Demorest, ever going to come in? The crowd thins . . . he Wonders if he will ever become a part of this fellowship, if it will ever cease to bewilder him. He watches the clerk, fascinated as she works over the mysteries of the filing cabinet. His credits were probably already on file . . . one ought to be nice to her-a slip of her pen might someday stand between him and graduation. Suddenly he finds himself confronting Mr. Demorest . . . nervousness iiees. Say . . . he's going to get on here at Scott! At last he is assigned to his classes, but he's not finished-with the oiiice . . . no, for hardly a move he now makes at school that is not noted by these capable young women. His history is recorded here and his future will be, for that matter, for the next few years-even after he has left school . . . Funny how few of us realize the importance of the office and its staff in relation to our individual high school careers. Page Twenty-six

Rows of books teeming with data, inviting investigation and research, multi colored bindings and streaming sunshine, radiating cheer and friend- liness an atmosphere quiescent and serene, stimulating concentration- all these things combined make Scott's library worthwhile. However, a competent staff is needed to serve the customers quickly and to find exactly what the student wants. This year the Dewey Decimal System and the card catalogue were introduced to the freshmen and other new comers to Scott by way of a course in library instruction. The students have found these new acquaintances well worth cultivating, for now the library has become a valuable and indispensable friend. To be very efficient a library must be kept up to date, and this year many new books have been purchased. A fee of two cents a day is charged for the very new books until they have paid for themselves. Twice the Wanderlust overtook Miss Wiseley, and the library was thrown into the confusion and thrill of moving day. Everything was moved a third time to make way for the painters. Now, revelling in fresh paint, clean drapes, and dustless books, the library is quite ready for business. A successful year of service is drawing to a close, a year of excitement, achievement, and progress. On the staff this year are Alice Jean Banting, Jane Breidinger, Helen Corman, Thelma Danz, Rose Mary DeWolfe, Bertha Grandey, Ann Green- spon, june Hahnlen, Helen Malkin, James Moore, Charlotte Rabbe, J oe Schwartz, Elizabeth Vogel, Russell Waggoner, and Dorothea Wiesehahn.
