The School Library The library serves all the school and provides a wide selection of reading and reference materials. The librarians, Miss Craw¬ ford and Mrs. Scherman, in addition to their work of book selec¬ tion and organization, give class instruction in the use of books and libraries, prepare bibliographies, give book talks, and help individual students with their reading and reference work. In the main library, the books, pamphlets, and periodicals are available to students during the day and before and after school. The library organizes book collections for various departments. Students of American History have access in room 225 to many history references. This history library is supervised by Mrs. Pelz. The student library assistants learn library skills while perform¬ ing helpful duties. They pass out books in the history library, help in the main library, and deliver overdue slips to homerooms.

John Sohne Robert Wehrli Gerald Witsman Robert Wright The Boys ' Physical Education program serves our students by providing three levels of participation, based on degrees of ability and interest. The first is a daily Physical Education program in fourteen different activities. Particular stress is placed upon individual sports and games that can be enjoyed out of school. The second level, intramural athletics, provides an opportunity for competition between boys of our school in the activities which have been presented in Physical Education classes. Finally, inter¬ scholastic competition is a vital part of the Physical Education program. Each year our boys take part in more than three hundred contests in ten sports.
