Voigt. A general rush of books, money, and students starts at the beginning and end of every semester. The general direction of the rush is towards the basement of West Division. Everyone knows that it will eventually end in the book store, an in- dispensable and important unit in the mechanism of West. The purchasers at the book store are efficiently served by West's own students who are chosen for their good scholastic average, honesty, de- pendability, and efficiency. Until the first semester of this year, the book store department was headed by Miss Ada Par- sons: but due to her illness, Miss lva L. Duden has taken it under her capable and efficient guidance, and has won praise and admiration of both stu- dents and faculty for her excellent work. To Miss Lucie Case, financial head of the book store, goes the honor for having made it a thriv- ing and profitable aid to West Side students. 51131 Eunice Banetzke, Georqiana Bilek, Aurice Lamphere.

A quiet and studious atmosphere prevails in the library at West Division, this explains Why it is the busiest and most frequented room at West for students and teachers seeking a quiet hour of study, of research, or of reading. Adding to the cheerfulness of the room, and brightening it even on dark and gloomy days, are the many potted plants found on the tables and shelves, while busts. and placques of famous historians, orators, and generals look down on student and faculty alike. On account of Miss Mary Tesovnik's excellent ability as librarian, she was granted a promotion to our Main library. Miss lsbel Stover, recent librarian at Girls' Technical High School, is now in charge of our library. Miss Stover is ably assisted by student librarians who were carefully trained by Miss Tesovnik.
