Jerry Walker, like many students, finds the library useful for all occasionsg he is busy looking up W-O-M-E-N, an interest- ing and informative diversion from the interminable term paper research. Bill Sloop uses his height to good advantage in searching for a comprehensive biography on the Elizabethan poets. ovel Processing Aids Library About 1,200 books richer, the library prepared for the annual influx of students. Two new coun- ty policies on processing and wider use of facilities aided Miss Doherty, her assistant, Mrs. Bryant, and Mrs. McPherson, the secretary, in meeting the increased demands. The County Library Processing System took care of the handling of over 25,000 new books which entered school libraries this year. To permit stu- dents to make better use of their research facilities, libraries at six area high schools remained open in the evenings. The 30 students in the Library Club this year learned about library procedure and took field trips to public, institutional, and technical libraries. In club meetings they discussed these trips and review- ed books they had recently read. Some members acted as Library Aides, assisting the librarians in processing and handling the books. 12 Administrat n if f 1 so :st

Fu- ture Nurses of America, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Benson, put on a Christmas party at Thorn- wood Nursing Home and also collected, washed, and labeled used medicine bot- tles for the use of the Suburban Hospital in Bethesda. urse Nurtures Preventive Plan In line with the advice that an ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure, the County Health Department, through the school nurse, administered several preventive programs. In the fall, 425 seniors received a test to detect ex- posure to tuberculosis. The three percent who had positive reactions to the test, administered by the nurse and PTA volunteer workers, were referred to their doctor for further tests. The nurse also con- ducted a handicap survey and worked with the guid- ance office to schedule the classes of handicapped students on the first floor. Mrs. Benson, the new school nurse, came to WJ from Car- roll County, Md., where she worked in the health department. ff ' ' f I4 Adl'llillilll'.lti0Il Pam Sweet is the cheerful guinea pig of unlicensed prac- titioners Robin Bradley and Joan Travers, FNA members.
