She fosters special talents and abilities as far as possible by means of special arrangements. She supervises school tests and attends to our many individual pupil difficulties. This year after we had taken the Stanford Achievement Tests. Kliss Sheehan visited our classes and we made graphs of these test results showing our standings in various subjects. This was especially interesting to the eighth and ninth graders for we could see how we had progressed or lost ground, because we had taken some form of this test each year and had two or three sets of test grades to compare.

To the XVilson Booster Staff: I know of no better way of commemorating the one- hundredth anniversary of Klark Twain,s birth than making the characters of his books live in the hearts and minds of junior high school boys and girls. This you have seemingly done in the pages of this yearbook. Vlfhile the boys in these stories delight us with the writer's humor, the girls and women acquaint us with his sympathetic and serious nature. Betty Thatcher was a good, little girl-A-Xunt Polly. a martyr to Tom- xloan of Arc. a humble, peasant girl. Mark Twain loved his joan of Arc and considered it his best work. the only one worthy of the honor of being dedicated to his wife. llOSI5BlARY Siiizicuixn 1'ir'w-prifzfipzlf 1171111 Cillfllltlllff' lfoluzxfllor lfoodrow Wilson junior High School athleen

THE IJB Mrs. Maude Flack Miss Katherine Moran Books. books, books. and more books: books to the right of us, books to the left of us. books in our lockers, and in our library reading rooms. At the beginning of February we were unfortu- nate in that Klrs. hlaude Flack resigned as librarian. hliss Katherine hloran. chairman ol lfnglish, then became librarian with Bliss 'llrean Xladdox, a nen- comer in our building, acting as library teacher. Xliss hladdox takes charge of all the morning library classes, while Miss Kloran relieves her during the afternoon. Due to the great number of library students it was necessary this year to have a branch library within our building. Books were placed in Xlrs. Hattie l7ickson's class room. Tivo periods each day W I L S O N B O O S T E R PageI5 RARY MH: W- i won-vw Miss Trean Maddox Mrs. Hattie Ilit-kson seventh grade classes report to her for library in- struction. Our lfnglish teachers bring us to the Reading Room once each Week lor a lree reading period. 'l'he library and reading rooms are scenes of constant activity. The library assistants rarely fail when all a pupil can remember is the heroine's name and the color ol the book for which he is looking. Then there are always the sevenths who must be led firmly away from such light products as Hluhilo Yancei' and urged to read such books as ',Rebecca of Sunny Brook l'iarin and wllom Saxvyerii. The librarians likewise have the pleasant task of persuad- ing our eighths and ninths to read books guaranteed to improve our minds and at the same time furnish us with a fair share ol enjoyment.
