.Lb The dedication of the new W. L. Goble Library, bearing the name of our former principal, was held on November twelfth. The ceremony was climaxed by the presentation of Mr. Gables picture and his philosophy of life, which were hung on the wall of the browsing nook. One of the outstanding features of the library is the conference rooms. There are three of these glass enclosures equipped with chairs and tables for the students to use in group study. Here students can work on various activities which other- wise would be impossible during school hours. The purpose of the browsing nook with its comfortable easy chairs is to permit those students who have time for leisure reading to become acquainted with the newest books and magazines reserved there. To add to the beauty of the room, a committee of teachers and alumni has gathered funds to furnish the attractive leather chairs, the lamps, the tables for the browsing nook, the various plants for the window boxes, the round tables and chairs, and many other facilities for library use. All these things help make the room more delightful. The library is under the supervision of Miss Carrie Williford, assisted by a student library staff. Miss Martha Black, who recently came to Elgin High from Abbott, has charge of the students who study in the library. Students of Elgin High School can consider themselves very fortunate in having such a well equipped library for study and leisure reading. 27

Mme, 'Have you turned in your make-up sheet lor Friday? Will you give me Tom Tucker's record for last year? These are common questions in the Elgin High School office. Miss Evelyn L. Boettcher, registrar and Mr. Stephan's personal sec- retary, gives inestimable service in executing the many administra- tive duties. Each semester she writes out a program for every high school studentg all records and files are kept under her proficient system. Many post-graduate students, under the supervision of Miss Boettcher, are given valuable experience in assisting the directors of the office. The main purpose of the attendance office under the direction of Mr. Kenneth l. Rehage is to encourage students to appreciate the excellent opportunities that the school has to offer and to discourage avoidable absence. All excuses for tardiness and absence are issued here, and all attendance records are kept. The directive work done in these branch offices enables our school to run at a high degree of efficiency.
