Library is hub of students ' mental gymnastics The Bishop Dwenger library has become, this year, more than ever, the main stream of the school ' s Academic life. Under the precise supervision of Sister M. Jeanne and her assistant Mrs. Madeleine Mc- Comb, students are able to study, do research papers and learn a little more about life itself in the quiet atmosphere. Improvements have made the li- brary a place to help the students better themselves. These include numerous volumes of new books and records. Other novel attractions are the pictures displayed in the li- brary. At times the library is a display case. The card catalogue is consulted frequently by students and librarians alike. Here Mrs. Madeleine Mc- Comb leafs through the catalogue in an effort to locale the card of the book she needs. Sister Jeanne ' s sunny smile greets everyone who enters into the harmonious atmosphere of the library.
