LIBRARY One of Great Neck South's most-used and most-appreciated resources is the school library. The library contains approximately 10,000 books, back issues of 120 periodicals, and a collection of more than one hundred records. It strives to cater to the academic needs of the students by keeping on hand a large number of reference books so that students are able to do much of their research work in the school. Of course, a large number of books for recreational reading are also available. This year the library received a S100 grant from the G.O. Sixty dollars of this money was spent on books, the remaining forty dollars being used to augment the re- cord collection. Much of the library's work is done by the thirty students who assist Miss Lillibridge and Mr. Wile during study halls and after school. Displays in the hall outside the library helped beautify the building and inspire the students to read and to take ad- vantage of their library. Seniors find wisdom and relaxation in the library LIBRARY CLUB—First row—R. Hirschfeld, A. Oksman. N. Grossman, E. Wallach, M. Lenzner. C. Hall. Second row—D. Linderman, C. Bloome, E. Galdston, C.
