ikin mateur Librarians 3 - .. h-,,, M, b, RK.E f Every school needs a well equipped and ready to use library for academic purposes. Fortunately, St. Laurence students are gifted to be in the presence of the newly furnished St. Laurence library. The library is headed by Br. Messick and operated by the library staff. Here the difficult jobs of filing return books, laminating volumes, and keeping the library in good condition are performed. The staff president, Tom Drez, assisted by vice-president, Ed Tennant, secretary Steve Schisel, and treasurer Mark McKenna, was able to keep the library in tip-top shape throughout the year. The library was always open for students to study or to use. Many took ad- vantage of the benefits it had to offer. Vital materials were found, thus helping the students with their reports. Of course the library could always be used for teachers' meetings, Mothers' Club meetings, or counting Jog-A-Thon returns. 76 f Library ...sf . 6' gg Q 'CQ . , ,W 2 .. 1 ,M- 'i 5 I L A
