If Miss Olney and the other English teachers, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Briggs, Mrs. De Caristo, Mrs. Har- bers, Miss Russell, Miss Wall, Mr. Peters, and Mr. Key could only know how much recreational reading we do, then they would realize that Miss Olney’s sales talks, “Read for sheer delight and enjoyment,” “Make good books your companions,” had borne results.
