With Our Library Growing By Leaps And Bounds S L A G Is Vitally Important An increase in the number of books is a joy to any librarian, even if it does mean much extra work. SISTER MARY JOSI- TA is no exception. Each request from a member of the Facul- ty is immediately granted—whether it be for a book or maga- zine—or other source material. Since SISTER JOSITA is also responsible for our AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS, she also obtains films, filmstrips, records and even equipment, for the use of Faculty and students. This requires that members of S L A G be especially trained to assist in the A V A (Audio-Visual Aid) Room. CAROL DI CARLO and JULIE HAGE have been re- sponsible for this phase of the Library Work. Students who have had previous experience in S L A G train new members in filing, accessioning, cataloguing. They seem to enjoy the responsibility of replacing SIS- TER ANGELICA or SISTER JOSITA at the Librarian's Desk whenever this is necessary. At the right, T. BYRNE is checking out a book for M E.

O’LEARY are cataloguing and preparing the books for circulation in Hams Cottage 39

Our School Paper, THE COURIER, Continues To Be A Training Camp For Future Journalists The new Moderator of The COURIER, is not a newcomer to the field of Journal- ism. SISTER MARIAN SETON. who joined the Faculty of the Academy in Sep- tember, came to us from Resurrection Academy in Rye. where she had been Mod- erator of their School Paper. Since The COURIER had received special honors from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association during the past few years with SISTER STEPHEN MARIE as its Moderator, SISTER MARIAN SETON made few changes in the first issue of the Paper. She does, however, plan changes in fu- ture issues, and this is to be expected ... for without change there is no progress. It was probably at this meeting of a portion of the staff that someone suggested sparking interest in the first issue by offering a lollipop to anyone who found an error in the paper, fsealed) A.

Our Forensic League Has Attracted More Members This Year Jesse E. Hobson once said: Knowledge and facts are revealed only by prodigious efforts in basic research explorations. 40 Even ihe research done in preparation for any phase of oratory enriches the one who has done it as well as those who share the results.
