Here special shelves containing the books on the approved high school readf ing list are reserved for the students. Miss Etta Roberts, highly efficient head librarian, is always willing to help all students, and, more than that, to teach the student how to use the library independently. This semester, she, assisted by Miss Elizabeth I-lulton. gave lectures about the facilities of the library, disposition of books, and the use of the library to the entering Freshmen. The extremely capable staff workers assisting Miss Roberts keep the well- stocked shelves in perfect order and are constantly initiating new systems of reference which make books more easily accessible. There have been only three librarians in the forty-two years of the library's existence. Miss Roberts accepted the position when the library was moved to its present site in 1911. The third floor is connected with the main building of the high school and will be occupied September. 1926, by the Commercial Department, 21

Dowling, Director of Physical Education, upon his Hrst year's work. During his first year he created a new spirit in the school, The students found themselves taking an interest in athletics for their own sake, rather than for the glory derived from them. The idea of the game itself and good sports- manship was predominant. Mr. Dowling and his assistants plan the gymnasium work, and schedule and oversee all athletic tilts in which the High School takes part, In order to graduate from the High School each student must complete two MR, GLENN A.

For the girls there are folk dancing, games, hurdling, and lectures on health. Health Department Miss Grace George, who came to the school this year, has reorganized the Health Department of the school, and has, by her efficient health advertising and her exhibits, created among the students great interest in healthful living. In the first semester, the school conducts a phys- ical examination and Dr. C. H. Keesor examines every student in the school. If the students need further attention they are directed to their family physician. Miss George has in her files a complete chart of the condition of each student in the school at the time of the examination. Iodine tablets are administered under her suprevision to prevent and control the growth of goitre, a disease very prevalent in the Ohio Valley.

C., where it studied hospital conditions and saw all the places of interest in our capital. 20
