1901 Y 1941 Q4 COLUMBIA PREP LIBRARY its THE LIBRARY DURING the past year the library of Columbia continued to grow in literary content and to undergo several material improvements. Under the supervision of lllr. Jack Friedhoff, librarian, all books were carefully cataloged and checked. Many new volumes, mostly fiction, were added to the collection of the library. The most important contribution was the addition of a complete set of the Encyclopedia Americana, a donation of the lylothers' Club. Most important improvement was the addition of a rail which gave the librarian some privacy in the performance of his duties. lligllligllt of the literary year was the Catholic Press lVlonth display during February. The purpose of this exhibit was to stimulate in the students a desire to read more Catholic per- iodicals. Another display of interest was the work of the journalists who featured school papers which are received in exchange from other preparatory schools. The library presents both the atmosphere and the materials which are necessary for the reference work required of the students. lt is the hope of the faculty that the students will continue to take advantage of the opporl tunities offered by a library which is well-equipped and ever growing.

Tl I IC C1 BLU MBIAIJ S'l'Al F Turf AIM of the staff in puhlishing the school annual, 'l'he Columhiad, was to give a pictorial and literary review of all phases of student life during the past year. lfarly in the school year the staff memhers were appointed hy a faculty committee. VVork was hegun on the make-up of the hook, the write-ups, and the snapshots, with tht- purpose in mind of presenting the annual to the students hefore the close of the school year. Editor Fred VVeher took a keen interest in his work and was aided hy a capahle staff. Associate Editors, Joseph Curran and Dave lllaks, with the help of Boh Dillon, took care of the sports. VVork on the classes was done hy Oscar Quoidhach, Raymond Powers. and Frank lfavro. Kenneth lford and Gerald Gower were responsihle for most of the write-ups dealing with cluhs and organizations. If the students enjoy leafing through this volume of the annual and feel that the pictures and write- ups hring hack pleasant memories of the past school year, the staff memhers will consider themselves sufficiently rewarded for their efforts in puhlishing The Columhiad of 19-ll. The staff wishes to thank those students and faculty memhers without whose help the annual could not have heen puhlished hefore the close of the school year. Greatful acknowledgement also, to our patrons.
