XYIGIIIC MILS. tt'l'lH L.ll3liARY Previous to I9I8, the library of Olympia High School was one ol the best among high schools of the state. ilihis library, however, was completely destroyed when the Old building burned, so that the present library is the result ol only lour years' work: con- sequently, in proportion to the size ol the school it is small. It is, however, an essential and valuable part of the school, lor Miss lithel Ayers, a graduate ol this high school who was secured as librarian the hrst of last year, has expended much hard eflort toward its development. She instituted the standard Dewey Decimal System for libraries last term. Including relercnces, fiction and non-liction the library now contains about i500 books. It is open to students lrom 8:30 a. m. to 4:00 p. m. The seating capacity is thirty-six. Gl .NF'RAL. IMPIQOVI-'.Ml .N'l' To care for the influx of students expected last fall many changes were made in the high school building during the summer. The exterior improvement was an addition built to the G. A. R. hall. now used as a finishing room for the manual training depart- ment, to take the place of room I0 which was divided into two classrooms. A portion of the main storeroom in the basement was partitioned off as a storage space for school supplies. The grounds, which are kept up by Mr. D. Webb, were beautified with shrub- bery presented by the Class of 1924. Trees in the parking strips are a great improvement for the future, and additional planting to beautify the property further will probably be made in November of this year. lVlr. Webb, with two student assistants, Paul Otis and Vtfilliam Newcomb, has charge of the general upkeep of the building, which includes heating, general clean-up and lawn. CAFETERIA The cafeteria in the high school was opened November ll, l9l9, and has been operated by Mrs. Maude M. Otis since that time, under the supervision of the Board of Education. The room of the cafeteria has a seating capacity of eighty, and is filled to over. flowing during the winter season. To aid her in serving, Mrs. Otis has had the services of Hollys Brazeal, Margaret Bridges, Margaret Mattson, and Carlyle Kelley, Paul Otis was cashier during the year. Fourteen
