Mr. Shorafonowich laughingly guarded his birthday cake last November 8, from Patty Yamashita and Doug Adams. Colors Classified Sections In New Library Devised to aid the students in making an easy and quick selection in the new library, books were put into their individual groups by colors. Besides aiding students and teachers, the new arrangement added a decorative air to the library. Organization and speed were combined to make the library an efficient service. With the added check-out stations, students no longer were forced to stand in line in order to obtain a valuable reference book to assist in writing that HA term paper. A huge show case was provided in which books and outstanding student art work were exhibited throughout the year. To assist with the various duties of a librarian, audio- visual distributor, and general information manager, Mr. Smithson joined the library staff. WALTER SHARAFANOWICH A.B., M.A., B.L.S Librarian.
