The library cataloging system is explained by Mrs. Reiff to new student librarians Cheryl Koenig and Harmony Warren. Suggestions for possible corrections are offered to Susie Borchert, Jim Knapp and Mike Hufnagel by Mr. Kirch. Red Star Qler the Kremlin and Catcher in the QE head the list of new books appearing on the library shelves. Through the efforts of Mrs. Reiff the library has grown in both quantity and quality. Efficiency increased with the ini- tiation of a unique checking system-all books are due on Wednesday. This plan lightens the work for librarians and reminds students to return their books. Under Mrs. Reiff's supervision, thirteen student librarians spend part of each day checking out books and assisting students and teachers. In this way they gain valuable experience in library skills.
