MRS. JUNE BROWN, Junior High Librarian Sa — MRS. MARY KURTZ, Senior High Librarian Now when you hear a sound, raise one finger,| Mr. Sidney Janssen explains as he prepares to test the hearing of all BHS ninth grade students. The noises are regulated from loud to soft to test the keenness of the per- son's sense of hearing. His small, hidden of- fice contains some of the most up to date equipment for testing the hearing. Mr. Jans- } sen has other responsibilities, too. He is in | charge of all the speech and hearing therapy | in the Metropolitan School District, and in | that capacity, he works with students who have speech impediments or that have difficulties that'might be improved or eliminated. MR. SIDNEY JANSSEN, Speech and Hearing The silence of the Arctic winter, the excite- ment of Roman chariot races, the winning of the Civil War—all these are offered in the 10,000 books of the Senior High library and the 7,000 books of the junior high library. To keep BHS readers well-informed, the library subscribes to 150 magazines and six newspapers; the junior high library subscribes to 37 magazines and three newspapers. The magazines are catalogued in the Reader's Guide for research. The librarians often instruct new students in the use of the Reader's Guide. So that the two libraries can keep up with the latest novels, histories, and biographies, the librarians study pamphlets from the American Library Association, notices from publishers, lit- erary catalogues, and requests from individual teachers. An average of 200 books are checked out of the library in one day and the junior high li- brary averages 90 check-outs per day. Library Offers Excitement and Adventure
