X-..

Here they could study for a test, read for relaxation, or do homework in a quiet atmosphere. To help serve them, William Strange, school librarian, was on hand during the day and on Tuesdays and Thursdays also during the evenings. Day by day in his quiet manner he supervised the selection, classification, and circulation of some 7,500 books that lined the library shelves, To assist him, Mrs. Frances Knight, library secretary, took charge of processing the books, while her 30 student librarians checked books in and out and returned them to the stacks. To satisfy the needs of the LaPHS students, each year the school added to the number of books and magazines in the spacious library. LaPHS students were also fortunate to have a per- son on the school staff to whom they could turn in case of illness. They went to Mrs. Lettie Kohlen- berger, school nurse, whose understanding and pa- tient manner put them at ease, Daily she administered first aid and gave sympathetic health advice to stu- dents. ln addition to this, she gave hearing and vision tests and maintained a health record for each LaPHS student. Thus did she promote the health pro- tection of both school and community.
