LIBRARY: Media Research Center The Library, which has undergone many changes over the past few years, is a room that probably every student has visited at least once and received something of worth from it for cither scholastic studies or personal interest. It is among the most important facilities in this school, for without it and its workers, many would be lost in their academic research. We owe a great deal of thanks to the people who have kept it in smooth working order. Miss Loretta Stocbcnau Director Media Research Center Rev. Aquinas Hclwig, O.F.M. Asst. Director Media Research Center Mrs. Kathleen Merrick and Mrs. Eleanor Dittmar prepare the many new books for the library.

SECRETARIAL STAFF AND PARA-PROFESSIONALS: Creators of Organization The work for Ryan secretaries seems, at times, to be endless. It consists of filing confidential and permanent records, handling tuition payments, recording absentee calls, sending out monthly mail, typing up various schedules for exams and activities, recording the minutes for all of the principal’s council meetings and various other administrative duties. Without the Ryan secretaries, many things would be left undone and for their hard work, we are very grateful.
