The library — a haven for hitting the books MISS IDA MAY MARSHALL Library Jefferson’s book world organizer. Miss Marshall, led a careful crusade to maintain the orderly and yet pleasant study atmosphere of the library. The library became a warm place where students could pursue varied activities from listening to records, practicing in the language labs, reading magazines, as well as serious study and research. The library has always been a comforting spot in which to pursue assigned topics as well as to search out personal interests and ideas. The addition of a copy machine helped to increase the availability of materials. A new language laboratory extended possibilites to foreign language students as well. Another new addition to the library was an original oil painting presented by the class of 1965 in memory of Kenneth R. Herdendorf. Academics 21
