FOR THE, SCHOOL YEAR 1956-1957 13 The Library Throughout the past year, in addition to many new books, the members of the library have enjoyed numerous and varied exhibitions, the materials for which have been provided by themselves, with the exception of two displays which were lent by McGill University. We have been constantly surprised by the excellence of the contribuiions which have made the exhibits so interesting. The 'Prehistoric Age of the Dinosaurs' was brought to us by splendid models of monsters of that era, the 'Stone Age' by lndian arrowheads, stone axes and corn grinders. Aspects of animals and fishes were brought home to us by the exhibit of a tooth of a whale, a shark, and a horse. ln addition we were intrigued by the sole of an elephants toot, and a stuffed bat, mounted with wings outstretched. The latter made the models of aeroplanes in flight look quite crude. Some of the activities of man were represented in models showing the development of ships in the water and ships in the air, and in various examples of weapons, including an Executioner's Sword from Bali, and two XVI century pistols from Italy. Other exhibits illustrated the following:-'The United Nations, 'Stamps' lfor which we were proud to show a 'Collector's Exhibit'l, 'Military Models, 'Medals and Badges, 'Geological Specimens' lasbestos was particularly popularl: 'Shells' lan especially beautiful displayli and 'Coins'. There was also an exhibit with reference to the life of Lord Baden-Powell, in honour of his birthday. Two very interesting exhibitions, arranged by Mr. Howes, were on loan from the Redpoth Museum. These were on 'Birds' and 'lnvertebratesf Many kind donations have been received. Mrs. Jacqueline Berrill presented an autographed copy of her very interesting work on Albert Schweitzer, Dr. Hans Selye gave the Library a signed copy of his valuable book The Stress of Life , Mr. Frank Nobbs presented three plaques, copies of the work of the distinguished Canadian sculptor Dr. R. Tait McKenzie. Colonel Stethem kindly gave six geological specimens with descriptive labels as a gift from his son Mark. These have already been very useful for reference.
