Miss Susan Wentz, Librarian Health Miss Ellen Miller, Nurse Library MISS WENTZ One of the liveliest and most stimulating jobs in the world is that of the school librarian. Miss Susan Wentz, our librarian, with the help of the teachers, builds a library collection that sup- ports and supplements every subject taught in the school. Another task of the librarian is to instruct the students in the effective use of li- brary materials. Being a public relations expert is a must, for she also promotes library services. Training and supervising a corps of student assistants make her duties so varied that no two days are ever alike! Mrs. Marie Redding, Secretary HEALTH DEPARTMENT Physical and dental examinations indicating the methods to correct any remedial defects are the main functions of the School Health Service.
