LIBRARY The Library of Bedford l-ligh School is the largest and one of the most plea- sant rooms in our school for quiet study- ing and recreational reading. This year, being twice as large as it was last year, it enables more students to make use ot its facilities. Not only does the library have good facilities for research and reference work, but it contains a varied collection of books, periodicals, and newspapers tor reading enjoyment. Although Miss Sexton is librarian, she admits that she could not get along without her library assistants. The duties of the assistants are typing cards and pockets for in books, taking atten- dance, shelving books, and checking in mail. These assistants are senior high girls chosen from the Junior High Library Club where they have learned, in pre- vious years, the duties of a library as- sistant. A few ofthe assistants who are artistically inclined are given charge of the bulletin boards. sk. l .g. HARRIET J. SEXTON MISS HARRIET JACQUELYN SEXTON earned her B.
