Over the past several months her incessant efforts have completely altered our library system into a well organized unit which is indexed to the last text. Mrs. Marion Morris, alias the Florence Nightingale of New London High, is our constant worker against diseases and ills. Mrs. Morris carries on a strict program of student hygiene.
