We have no head librarian this year, as our sponsor, Miss Glod-kowskis, is trying a new system. The library is neatly arranged, well ventilated. well lighted and it is increasing each year. This year a new system was adopted, including entrance into library during study hours. A pass was given by the teacher to those students who were to go to the library. No one was permitted without a pass, thus keeping out undesirables.
