1 Fr. Jovian Lang, O.F.M. LIBRARY Headquarters for reference ma- terial and for a respectable por- tion of the studying done on the local campus is the Quincy College Library. Early this year, the Library passed a land- mark by acquiring its 20,000th bookg but this one-time goal was by no means final, for the Library continues to acquire large numbers of books and periodicals each month. Some- thing new in the Library is the Microcard Reader which gives advanced students a chance to use first-hand some excellent research tools.

Wash ut could fly OLD AIRPLANE Variously described as a grounded warrior eagle and a sick duck, this old former U.S. Army plane sits moulting between the main building of the College and the Brower Engineering Shop Building. The old 0-48 was acquired during the early war years for special wartime instruction, but it still comes in handy for some Q,C. classes-and also for playing grade school children from near-by St. Francis School.
