Mrs. Lucille Roach presides over one of the necessary routines of any library—the card file: but the magazine rack, notice, is pretty handy . . . RPM’S IN THE LIBRARY? Like the spokes of a wheel, our classrooms find their center in the hub. or library, of the school. Well over 10,000 volumes—not only of books, but of records and film strips—arc constantly being “drawn out by borrowers, and subsequently checked and shelved by the library staff. Textbooks, pleasure reading, technical and professional materials arc in regular demand by both students and teachers. Such activity suggests noise and confusion, but actually the library is usually a much-appreciated “zone of quiet in our lively school community. II Mrs. Martha Lund invites us to take a closer look at her favorite corner in the library.

Let there be Special Service Teachers PROBLEMS? in the three years we spend here at Vocational, it would be very odd if we didn't at least once cross the threshold of either Miss Christenson's or Miss Dietrich son's office. When we have been absent because of illness, it might seem that the badge of their office is the tongue depressor or the thermometer, hut checking our health, an im|K rtant but routine job, is not the only one Miss C. and Miss D. “do” . . . Sometimes we bump into rather knotty problems—financial, personal, or social— which might plague us at an especially vulnerable time in our lives—while we are attending school. It is then that we are lucky to find real help and understanding in these offices which are especially designed for the welfare of »he student.

During the course of our three years here, they have occasion to help us with a variety of vocational and educational problems. If we have been able to maintain a good standard of achievement in both our trade and academic classes, they may place us in a cooperative work program in our senior year, and before we finish school they help us decide whether we should enter the world of work or go on to college.
