When we think of the library, the first thought that enters our mind is books-old, new and overdue. Old books with smudged pages tell of those who have spent hours in absorbed interest. Torn bindings relate journeys in sun and snow - and mud- puddles. New books are those that still smell of glue and ink with pages that crinkle and flap back as you turn them-pages un- believably white. Overdue books cause the borrower much anguish, dismay and shame. These books seem to lose themselves in the hidden corners of dark rooms. Our library contains innumerable books which are suitable for each class in the school. Besides good books, our library has a pleasant atmosphere. lts location on the third floor, the lovely view of the school entrance, and the quiet which reigns as in all libraries make it an enjoyable spot. Most striking is the prevailing air of help- fulness which is personified by our librarian. Sister Mary Stephen. Seniors in the Library Club, too, soon contract this helpful air and while most stu- dents are taking, these girls are giving- study halls and energy to make our library even more pleasantly efficient.

To crown the Kings English with perfection is the aim of every English student. Constant chatter in and around St, Agnes proves that we have truly mastered fluency in the English language, but this is only one result of our studying English, Creative writing and an appreciation of great literary works are just as important. As Freshmen leaf through the pages of short stories such as Rudyard Kipling's Wee Willie Winkien and Van Dykes 'AThe Other Wise Man , they revel in the realm of the imagination which unfolds in books. Sophomores often become so enthralled with such novels as Spring Comes Ori Forever that they can feel the winds from Nebraska blowing right past. Writing on the spur of the moment helps them to be- come fast thinkers. Hearing records of Iudith Andersen in Medea and lose Ferrer as Cyrano de Bergerac captivates Iunior English students in their Drama study. They agree that it is the most painless way of learning to appreciate literature. The scope of English opens wide to the Seniors who. while struggling with essays and sonnets and reading the involved works of Shakespeare and Chesterton, learn to love their cultural heritage.
