Physics laboratory Lab Assistants. If one is interested in learning more about the practical aspects of chemistry or physics and has enough free time, being a lab assistant can be a very rewarding experience. As the title implies, a lab assistant helps the lab teacher set up experiments and docs some of the more menial and less dangerous work, giving him much valuable experience. His chores include keeping the shelves of the lab neat, filling reagent bottles, and weighing out quantities of chemicals for experiments. As the number of chemistry and physics students increases, a proportionate strain is put on the lab teachers and the help of the lab assistant becomes more valuable.—sec illustration.

Our library has been made the beneficiary of several gifts, most notably the memorial collection established by relatives and friends of the late Judge William M. Unter-mann. This fund h3S already purchased hundreds of books on American life and history. We have a mathematics collection in memory of Saul Seid and a science collection in memory of Mrs. Elsie S. Roux, both former teachers in our school. Our first principal, Mr. Max Herzbcrg, donated approximately 800 books; and Helen G. Stevenson, former he'ad of the social studies department, gave us a collection of history textbooks. The Board of Education gives the library an annual appropriation of about SI.35 per pupil for the purchase of books and magazines. In addition, the library serves as a center for research and enrichment materials such as motion picture filmstrips, phonograph records, and tapes. The machines for using these materials are supplied by the library and manned by the student projection staff, working under the librarians. Our very complete collections of college catalogues and of vocational and professional literature in books, magazines, and clippings, is used by occupations classes and by individual students for personal research. Close cooperation with the guidance department makes this collection especially valuable for interview and study purposes. —see illustration.
