LIBRARY TERM PAPER HAVEN The planned expansion of the library had all the seniors up in arms when they learned that their Lounge was the area to be taken over and used as a reading room. However, a makeshift wall, ordered by our administration, stood as a barrier between the Senior Lounge and the library, and the plans for the library's needed addition were laid aside for the present. There had been a great increase in books since 1960, when there were only about three thousand volumes. ln September there were over nine thousand. These, and the great accumulation of magazines received during the past few years, helped to better serve the larger student body. The library had facts on nearly everything from A to Z 3 students thronged there during their study halls and after school to use the many available research sources. Occasion- ally, social studies or English classes met in the library to work on various reports and themes. To suit the reading tastes of all, the library had a great variety of novels and subscribed to sixty-two magazines and three newspapers. The library was the center of school activity the day before term papers were due. The scene was one of quiet and solitude the day after, as the student body heaved a sigh of relief.

At the desks are MRS. CONWAY, foreground, and MRS. HILL, guidance depart- ment secretaries. In 1962-1963 alone, the Brandywine Guidance Department area increased to include two more counselor's offices and in 1963-1964, three teacher-parent conference rooms. To bring Brandywine to the attention of colleges and universities throughout the country, our counselors have traveled over twenty thousand miles to visit schools. of higher learning. The Guidance Department subscribed to approximately fifteen hundred college catalogues, the offices often filled with college-hound students looking at these and using the other resource materials. For students who wished to seek employment immediately after graduation. tests were administered to help find the job they were best equipped to fill. The co-op program, was just another way in which the counselors lend a helping hand. All students received aid from their counselors in curriculum planning, in placement, and in deciding which of the innumerable tests offered they might most profitably take. MR. JOHN F.
