This year has brought a complete re- organization ot the library. Mr. John Stonis, the librarian, took charge and Mrs. Archer Jones became his assistant. Under their direction the library adopted the more etticient Library of Congress system of cataloging books. Mr. Stonis feels that a successful library is one in which there are no books on the shelves. Mr. Stonis and Mrs. Jones take their cataloging problems to one of the many huge reference books which the library possesses. Books Are the Most Patient of Teachers Charlene Russell, Bill Maxwell, lkey Joe Chadwell are student assistants in the library. They not only enioy helping students find books, but also tind that contact with good books is enjoyable, educational and editying. Mrs. Gibson, wife of Professor Gibson and operator of the Campus Bookstore, knows everybody, their wants and needs. With the financial interest of the students at heart, she always points out the best buy. The library had traditionally been a center of student activity at Clinch Valley College. Here Stuart Hall, Charles Riner and l Lee Stallard could' be studying for a quiz or swapping tid bits of gossip.

Good themes are rare in the Eng- lish classes. but Professor Wilson occasionally finds one which pro- vides a good chuckle. The English office is a place where Professors Wilson, Geronimo, and Gurney plot the downfall of unsuspecting students. Language Is the Ba i Stud Mr. Geronimo is calm and serene until he starts to interpret a poem or explain a novel. Professor W. L. Wilson is the philosopher of the English department, and adds zest to his English composition and speech classes' with Tidbits of his philosophy of lite. Mr. John Geronimo, young instructor of English literature and composition, has a few interpretations of literature which are original and sometimes exotic. As are telephones, Mrs. Georgie Gurney is ubiquitous. Besides teaching Eng- lish literature and composition, she takes an active part in Glee Club, Seminar, German Club and Social Committee, iniecting vim and vigor into these organi- zations. Miss Lucia S. Kegler, congenial, vivacious instructor ot three Romance lan- guages, speaks English with ease. Miss Kegler teaches not only the language of France, Spain, and Ger- many to her students but the art, customs, and geography of these . , . Beneath Mrs. Georgie Gurneys natural enthusiasm and Counmes as well' friendly extrovert personality ,there lies a caustic wit, which bursts forth in her English composition classes.
