Ayres-Alumni Memorial Library LIBRARY The Mooney Memorial Library has served the needs of faculty and students throughout the year under the guidance of Miss Alice Holcombe, Miss Lena Dirlam, and Mrs. Aileen Bennett. Im- provements in the present library in- clude a new fluorescent lighting system and attractive bulletin boards. Over 600 new books have been purchased this year. At present, the library is sub- scribing to 273 periodicals and news- papers. With the constantly increasing student body, the present library facilities have become inadequate. Plans have been made to build the Ayres-Alumni Me- morial Library as soon as the prices of materials decease. ALICE K. HOLCOMBE, A. B., B. A. L. S.

THE STAFF JOHN WARNER A. B. Business Manager Taylor University, A.B. JOHN P. OWENS A. B. in Bus. Ad. Comptroller Ohio State, B.A. in Business Administration It takes more than students, faculty and classrooms to keep a college going. Here at Taylor the indispensable staff is composed of men and women who are well fitted and are willing to perform the tasks assigned them. In the Business Office a staff of work- ers under the direction of Mr. John Warner labor over adding machines and invoices to keep supplies on hand and the budget balanced. In the other ad- ministrative offices typewriters click, records are kept, and letters are sent out. In the Taylor dining hall three meals are served each day of the week, and this is no small undertaking. Cooks must prepare food for hundreds of busy stu- dents. Engineering and maintenance crews are on the job twenty-four hours per day to keep facilities in proper function- ing order and heat in the radiators. House mothers, student labor, night watchman, farm manager — all of these go together to contribute to a richer and better life at Taylor. 24
