Have you come to see me
lately? If you haven’t, you’re
one of the few persons at Bre
vard who hasn’t this year. Stud
ents are using my new facilities
to many advantages. Mrs. Robert
Campbell, head librarian, is
using her many talents to see
that my greatest potentials are
being fulfilled. Working with
her is Mrs. Mary Stevenson and
Mr. Charles Henritze. They see
that various functions are per
formed daily.
It is portable and can be used
for writing and for showing
films, but black-out-curtains are
needed so that the films can be
shown.
Microfilm is a big asset to
me. We have two readers, but
we need more film. Although
we lack an index, we have big
sections of film from the New
York Times and from the two
World Wars.
Social Board Discusses
Plans For Homecoming
Mrs. Louise Price is the first
reason, as stated in the written
proposal presented to the Legis
lature, was the Administration’s
switch to a five - day week
which went into effect this aca

The closing hour for women
in the past on Friday nights has
taken into the consideration of
having classes on the following
day. Miss Cerny’s proposal was
presented to equalize the
amount of liberty that is grant
ed to the coeds on Saturday
night closing hour is one o’clock
Sunday morning.
