Any curiosity as to the large number of specimens in Miss Spence's biology lab may be answered by the fact that her favorite pastime is hunting for these articles. Some miscellaneous facts welve picked up about Miss Spence are that her hobby is raising flowers and her main dislike in students is dishonesty. Yes, our librarian does want you to use the library when neces- sary. Miss Mary Jane McGuire's ideal library pupil is one who can use the card catalogue and other refences without help, and who re- spects the rights of others while in the library. Miss McGuire was born in Milford, Texas, and she received her B.S. and B.A. degrees at Texas Presbyterian College for Women. She received her B.S. in Library Science at George Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee. She was assistant librarian at Texas Presby- terian College for several years before coming to Ball High School. She likes to collect antiques and enjoys reading poetry and biogra- phies. Her favorite food is devills food cake. Another traveler, Miss Alicia Tate, has been to Europe five times, to Canada and Mexico and through the United States. She enjoyed meeting the people and seeing the things she had heard about, and she has many stories to tell about them now. As Ball High's assistant librarian, Miss Tate is living right in her own home town. She, like many of our faculty members, is a grad- uate of the University of Texas. Miss Tate gives a sigh of delight when apple cobbler is served at dinner, and falthough there is no connectionj, she likes to collect old thingsf, Her favorite movie is Mrs, Miniver and she enjoyed the book '4Forever England. X Her ideal library student, Miss Tate revealed, is one who comes in the library quietly, gets his material quietly, and does his work quietlyf, X W1 . I Congratulations .
