Library powers independence Realizing the modern emphasis upon independent study, WHS librarians Mrs. Browder and Mrs. Scrog- ham expanded research facilities to accommodate more demanding assignments. To the original 9000 volumes were added another 600 new books, while the audio-visual room housed a much larger collec¬ tion of filmstrips. A comprehensive periodicals library stressed the importance of current knowledge and also provided in depth sources for a limitless variety of subjects. While the paperback bookstore featured required books at reduced prices, students could also obtain selected information by photocopying. For greater student privacy, the library maintained the ever-popular record players with stereo head-phones, as well as installing four individual studying carrels.
