Senior (lass
Refurbishing / ^
The Library
This year’s senior class project
is now a drive to collect books to
refurnish the library. Don De-
Bragga is chairman of the project.
The senior class already has
$200, from which money for the
graduation speaker and flowers
must be deducted, plus $92.50
from the Teen-Age Carnival,
which can be spent on new books.
At the meeting of interested
persons after school May 7th, a
list of 130 books, touching almost
all areas, was drawn up. The
price and availability of these
books is now being looked into.
A book drive will be held the
week of May 18th. Students are
urged to contribute any books,
paperback or hardback, which they
no longer need. The home room
contributing the most books by
weight will be recognized on
Awards Day. Either the 20th or-
the 21st will be set aside as the
day for students to return all the-
lost or stolen library books they
find.
This project involves the entire-
school. For it to be successful,
the cooperation of all the stu
dents is needed.
