St Philip High School - Statuette Yearbook (Battle Creek, MI)

Page 61 text:

if sr PWM St. Philip High School Library is the center of much interesting activity during the entire school year. A competent staff of student librarians cooperate in keeping the library and the book shelves in order, and are always ready to assist the student patrons with effi- cient library service. Reference and special informational books are in constant demand for research. The most popular sections, however, are those devoted to biographical and fictional books. Aided by a generous annual donation from the Library Associa- tion, librarians are enabled to add a number of new volumes each year to those already on hand. This year, we are specializing in the most readable of the up-to-date spiritual, fictional, and biographical works for teen-agers. Catholic authors, naturally, enjoy priority rights, although other good writers are not excluded. Students are encouraged to develop a love for good reading which, we hope, may develop into a profitable leisure-time habit for the future. 37

The pictures at the right show the library adorned for National Book Week. The top photo presents the central table display of new books, while posters submitted by pupils of both grade and high school emphasize the importance of good reading. The central picture shows pupils inspecting some of the choice new volumes at a side table. The third picture introduces the winners of the Book Week project contest, with their entries and their book prizes. N Paw. E X wt- gf 2 , ff mga. Vw u 'ff
