Cur maintenance staff worked :onstantly to give the school a clean, uncluttered atmosphere. It was not easy to maintain this in a crowded school of teenagers, and we appreciate the hours they spent in doing so. The library was the nerve center of our school. In it one found a friendly, quiet at- mosphere which encouraged study. It was well-stocked with every conceivable type of information. An alert staff kept the materials up to date. Each year approximately 500 books, 350 pamphlets, 50 filmstrips, and 15 record albums are added to the library. The student assistants in the library were an industrious group. Familiar tasks includ- ing desk duty, locating reference materials, and filing materials on shelves and in the vertical file kept the staff busy. Time was often spent compiling lists of varied subjects for faculty use. The recommended number of books per student is five, our library has seven. As students we have Don S. Pelkey. A.B. M.A.L.S.
