Librarians A good library and an efficient librarian are assets which any school can be proud of and which prove of great value to the students of the lllenomonee Falls High School and the surrounding community. VVe know that every one has a vital interest in a good library because money is being raised for that splendid purpose. Yes, it sounds good to others if they do not have to do the library work, and why? YVhy just because it means workg but there is an alternative in the fact that the librarians and the students form a liner union of workers. It is just this' that the school is striving for, the library with its very capable head is just one of the units which is trying to do its best. You ask what is the library but a row of books and a table and chairs. No, you are mistaken and badly. It is one of the greatest sources of education known. You know a teacher cannot teach everything, therefore, we know the use of the library. It helps expand our knowledge, and keeps our minds active through its current magazines which are the histories of to-morrow. Page Forty-four
