.B ' L.. .v at ,Y HE installation of a well-balanced library in our school A 'A is one of the most delightful improvements made this year. Last September it was a wonderful surpri-se to every old girl when she discovered the cloak room transformed intolan inviting sunlit place for read- 1 'i ffl' ' ing, with every type of book from recent novels to dictionaries and encyclopaedias lining the walls 5 AX 21. Miss Helen Gilchrist from her librarian desk in- vited ufs to come in and make ourselves thoroughly acquainted with the system and titles, and since that day every girl in school has spent hours of proiitfand pleasure over her books at the tables .,s- 1 During the year, the number of reference books has been steadily in- creased and now novels, essays, plays and volumes of letters are being added all the time. Eleanor Bliss m.ade a generous gift which largely supplied the Senior English shelf and the poetry section. We hope -all the alumnae will accept a cordial invitation to come in and use the books with us. - .After Miss Drew's lecture on Jane Austen, this author's books had a noticeable boom and a new ,set of-her works wlas immediately bought. It is interesting to know that the favorite book of the preparatories, is 'fUnder- stood Betsey , by D. C. Fisher, but the academic readingyis-too scattered to make a definite statement of favorites, except for the Seniors, who have shown partiality to Galworthy's Forsyte Saga . t The great advantage of a library so near at hand is this: many girls who at the beginning of the year invariably selected literature of the easiest type later progressed with pleasure and no effort into classics. Biographies, for some reason, have been neglected and as we have a splendid assortment it wfould be wise to turn more frequently to this fascinating form of reading, Miss Gilchrist is anxious to have us suggest new books, for they will be bought continually and as the library is oursit is ouryprivilege to see that- our favorite authors areywell represented. This is a .valuable project for the entire school and will belmet with the combined enthusiasm of the student body and faculty. P l f 6 :Zvi Q4 vE'w.t, lil Q f '.,i'!-67' 1 ga EQ?

Almost every term, news arrives tous of one or more of our dearly beloved ex-school- mates distinguishing herself, and our chests swell with pride at the message. Such news is a real inspiration to us who have yet to experience college life, and who are struggling desperately through Latin and Mathematics, with that inward fear that such an achievement is beyond even praying for. The fact that so many of our Alumnae do- obtain -such honors, stimulates within us a hope that perhaps, we, some day, may honor Hathaway-Brown in the same 11.
