The Library has seen a complete revamping this year. Among some of the changes was the introduction of the duodecimal system of numbering all the booksg a card catalogue including the author and title card has been introduced. To the collection of books already available have been added modern and up to date fiction and non fiction. A few price collections have also been addedg as a result there has been more interest shown in the library by the students according to Mr. Buechler. Mr. Buechler, the librarian, has ably been assisted by his assistant librarians, Millie Miller, Mitzie Gress and Betty Armstrong. They have given much of their time and effort in making a bigger and better library for the students. They are also planning to bring in more non-fiction and reference material in the near future. The library staff and students are partly indebted to Mr. Allen for making it possible bo buy many of these books. It was through the pie and box supper that much of this was made possible. 31
