LIBRARY COUNCIL The sang is the proverbial home of knowledge. This is especially true at Rhodes, where an extensive fibcars is tended by a full-time, highly trained Librarian, Mrs. Ann Hall. The Library Council is composed of Stu- ents who are interested in the science of he library, the knowledge of the library and the fascination of books. They also double as Li ibrar Aides. The Cea spent its time discussing recent books and their meanings. As well as this fairly abstract area, the more concrete field of library science was studied. The ways and means of ‘meric and more complete library service were researched. An example of advances in library technique is the new field of microfilm reference tables: a field which the Council explored in depth. As a manifestation of goodwill, Rhodes sent a series of textbooks to Africa thanks to the work of the Library Council in co'lecting and selecting the books. Closer to home, but Richard Brill, Roger Leeds, Susan Kemp, Stephen Brody, Cynthia still outside the school. the Council organ- Davidson, Myra McCrann, Paul Kastner, Mrs. Hall. ized a Book Fair on Parents’ Day. Lastly, the Council discussed the career opportunities for librarians. Opportunities ae numerous, including the fields of science and technol By: research and industry. The Council finished the year with a better understanding of the problems, rewards and exigencies of life in a library. ct o. MATHEMATICS CLUB Under Faculty Advisor Mr. Leahy, the Math Club took as its main area of interest the “new math.” Mr. Leahy, who has taught “new math’ courses to teachers, guided the group’s exploration of this novel and excit- ing field. The main purpose of the “new math”’ is to allow younger students to grasp the precepts of more advanced mathemati cal studies. This is done by making a more graphic explanation of number operations than was made in the past. Besides being helped in their schoolwork b; this extra exposure to math, the members of the Club have been keenly interested in new and interesting mathematical theories and operations. W ith the help of Mr. Leahy, Mr. W arren, and Mr. Barkan, the Club ex- plored these new items as far as their knowl- edge carried them. The members of the Club ended the year feeling well prepared for advanced college math, as well as enlightened about the new tanding: Bing Ne, Jobn Kellman.
