Mrs. Helen Peacock Library Library Services and Counseling Aid Us in Our Present Work and Future Plans Mrs. Rebecca Shepard Counseling Mrs. Peacock catalogues a few of the library ' s twelve thousand volumes. Although teenagers are character- ized as being always on the move, there is a place in Chapel Hill Senior High where one finds them patiently waiting- - that is, in the school guidance office. There Mrs. Shepard c h e c k s to insure that all seniors have the necessary credits and courses for graduation. In addition, she makes available college catalogues and CEEB test information, administers vocational preference tests, and suggests various job opportunities. Barry Archer and Bob Cadmus receive scholarship information from Mrs. Shepard. In organizing the library’s 12,000 volume collection, Mrs. Peacock pro- vides CHSHS with a library service that ranks with the state ' s best. However, the library ' s growing pains are made more obvious each year. Although more than four hundred new books were added this year, the book per pupil amount dropped from 23.8 to 20.8 as the high school enrollment rose. The chief prob- lem at present, according to Mrs. Pea- cock, is the need for expansion. 24
