All that Mankind has done, thought, gained or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of Books. They are the chosen possession of men. All neatly stacked, sorted, filed, or- ganized into a meticulous system of cata- loging so that the student may locate a specific book. Each book contains a world of its own, one in which the reader may absorb him- self and assimilate its material. Through books a person may experience situations which he ordinarily would not encounter in his life. Reading lends depth to a person's out- look on life, affords knowledge to those who search for it, and elevates us from our daily lives. g:F1n ',-:aii53g5?:w .

With excess knowledge stored on shelves, the bookroom becomes a home of potential wisdom. Casual attitudes towards school on the part of many students is exemplified by the shelves reserved for lost books which remain until final exams propagate a sudden urge for education. The lights are out, the black blinds pulled. As students' eyes become ac- customed to the dimness, a narrow beam of light, illuminating dust par- ticles in its path, is flashed on a screen. Ears, eyes.and minds become alerted to the subject matter presented or illustrated in a way that cannot be otherwise accomplished in the class- room. This is the outcome of the audio- visual staffs efforts, familiarity with the machines involved and efficient scheduling which are vital in a system of so many rooms, teachers and stu- dents.
