THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATES When the old high school was demolished by fire, the school library with its many volumes perished. Immediately after the temporary school was established our new library began to be developed. When the new high school was completed with its modern library facilities, there was still a great need for more books. The school board with Mr. William A. Hart as advisor, began to purchase many volumes of refer¬ ence books, excellent fiction, and education¬ al texts. With this rapid growth came the n eed of a system of helpers which Mr. Hart organized and who became—our Library Associates. This group of efficient, well- trained students have taken over their duties in a businesslike manner and have made great strides in their work. Under the supervision and guidance of Mrs. Mc- Qua.rrie they installed the Dewey Decimal System, the catalogue, etc. Th rapid growth of the library from 800 books has necessitated the introduction of fines for overdue books. The school is proud of this able and effi¬ cient group of girls who meet with Mr. Hart to discuss their problems and try to improve their department.
