Our Senior High School library is expanding quite rapidlyg it boasts about 12,000 volumes, l621periodicals, and a seating capacity of 80. At some time in his high schoo career, each student is expected to familiar- ize himself with the card catalog, the vertical file, and the periodical index. Book selection guides and book lists are readily available for stu- dent use, but a great deal of the student's selection is dictated by his own tastes and requirements. Team-teaching groups in both the social studies and English depart- ments use the library as an integral part of their programs, since team- teaching incorporates individual study. Admission to the library is from study halls, directly from classes or an entire class may come with its instructor. This flexibility allows most students ample time to do assigned work and meet reading requirements. Miss Ropke has been the librarian since 1954 when the senior high school opened. Her aversions to gum chewing and noise are legendary, but her time is readily available to students who need help in library use.

Guilderland's dietician, Mrs. Mosall, occupies what is certain- ly one of the most important positions in the district. Her job en tails the feeding of thousands of hungry students who eat daily in the district's six cafeterias. Under her direction, the kitchen staff efficiently and economically prepares two types of lunches each day. Mrs. Mosall is responsible for planning the monthly menus, which are tasty and appetizing as well as well-balanced. Complaining about the lunches seems to have become a school tradition, but the length of the lunch lines testifies to the quality of the food. As cafeteria clerk, Miss Schaible is in charge of purchasing and finances. It is her duty to manage the bookkeeping and records so that the cafeteria can run as efficiently as possible. 1- J .WA , iff ii f 1 n- Q'-'I - ,aa Q s -1 fQfii:.1ipFifgQs 5 , , is ,Q 3, .4,, .wr ri , I . !

'Six fr Mrs. Barbara Mosall - Dietician Miss Mary Schaible - Cafeteria Clerk Keeping Guilderland's six wings spotlessly -' clean is an around-the-clock job for the cus- todial staff. Matrons and custodians are kept busy sweeping, polishing floors, cleaning boards, and disposing of trash long after stu- dents have gone home for the day. Not only do they keep our school immaculate, they are always ready in an emergency to fix 3 jammed locker, find a spare desk, or unlock a door. Although most students take their services for granted, we owe the custodians a debt of gratitude for cleaning up after ug and maintaining a sanitary and efficient building for us to enjoy, I4 .l 4 L' Bessel L- Barry.
