One ot the rooms which the golden sun loves to visit in Hyde Park is the library. Through the tall, wide windows he sees the bent heads of many students, and shelves and shelves of books all neatly Waiting in their places until some student deigns to use them. However, the sun does not know that those books are kept neat only by the diligent ef- forts of Miss Van Hattem and her assistants. Courteously these Workers assist students and teachers alike in finding books, pam- phlets and references. Even strangers chanc- ing into the library instantly see the efficiency with which all tasks are accomplished. Their eyes are charmed by gay posters and pic- tures that turn the room into a pleasing place for study. ln such an atmosphere the great masters of literature reside, bringing to each genera- tion of Hyde Parkers the Wonders oi their Works.

Page Ten STUART R O O M Hyde Park's parlor is the Agnes Stuart Social Room Where informality and comfort reign supreme. Strains of melodic music and rippling laughter often are heard coming from the innermost recesses of this delightful room. lt was dedicated to Miss Agnes Stuart, the former Dean of Girls and classical language teacher at Hyde Park. The furniture of this inviting room seems to welcome each and every visitor to its comfortable depths. From the time one enters and sinks into the soft blue rug to the mo- ment he reclines into the luxurious sofa or chairs, he is impressed by the room's love- liness. Occupying one corner is the baby grand piano, upon which stands a beautiful picture of Miss Agnes Stuart. Her face seems to lend to the room a part of its radiance, and everyone who enters is affected by its atmosphere of friendliness.

Page Twelve LUNCH RO O M Every day toward ll o'clock a tantalizing aroma Wends its way through our school, im- buing the students with thoughts for the inner man. Visions of tempting meals dance through their heads, and as soon as they are able they head to the spot from which the fragrance emanates. You have guessed it, they are off with a dash for the lunchroom. After selecting their rneals from the modern cafeteria aisles, they hasten to a table, and for about five minutes the silence is unbroken except for the munching and crunching of their little jaws. Although it is not publicly noisexd around the school, in the hearts of these lunchers is gratitude for the light and airy room, and for the unsung Workers who make possible the quantity and quality of the delicious food served daily in the lunchroom.
