Voyages through the mind’s habitations The library was a place to gather infor- mation and to find quiet from the hectic activity of the noisy halls and busy classrooms. It offered an opportunity to ex- pand our minds, and to explore some of the questions that came about as part of the learning process. There was enough information and knowledge in the 19,271 volumes that covered the library shelves that any stu- dent in the school, that was willing to put forth the effort, could have become an authority on almost any subject. Much of the time spent in the library was devoted to doing research for term papers, themes, and book reports. It was nice to be able to occasionally leave a study hall and spend the period looking through a People magazine. Because of the size of the library it was often used for meetings. Each month the faculty gathered there to get impor- tant information from Principal Hughes. It was even rumored the female faculty members met there after hours for an aerobics exercise class. Information related to learning wasn’t all the library was used for. Many times sounds of laughter interrupted the peacefulness as a group of girls in the cor- ner table were catching up on gossip. Librarian Susan Cate and Assistant Librarian Jessie Bowers kept everything organized with the help of their eighteen voluntary aids. They worked to provide a pleasant environment in which to study. Working studiously, Tina Allison and Tammy Fetzer use the library’s many facilities for their history research.
