UMODELID UBIURY

Under the direction of loll.as Int• erson Woody Sulloway, John MoEwan, Tom Clancy, Norman Pierce, Tony Russo and several other boys have been working to fix up the library and are just ~bout finished. Mias Emerson has worked steadily,giving up her otherwise free time to the betterment of the library.

This group has been typing title cards and arranging the books in their proper places. Mr. Nyhus put up a partition ~cross the lower· part of the main entrance of the library and put a shelf on the top. After the table was taken out Miss Emerson painted the floor, Miss Emerson is making. a partial use of the Dewey Decimal System of classifying the books · in the library,a system that is used in most ot the libraries in the United States. The library was keptclosed all day except from 4:30 until5:00 P.M. so that no books would go out without being registered but now an honor system is being tried. The library is· kept open all day and boys register their own books when they take them out.

So far this system has worked out very well.

Several boys had asked Mr, Cle.rk before the Heagy'• bs1y was born if a day cou ld be taken from some other vacation to make Thanks giving vace.tion longer than the one de.y that it would have been. But this was, at the time, out of the question bece.use the school is required to he.ve a cettain a.mount of cle.ss days . When the Heagy'• baby came along, this threw a new light on the subject for it ia custome.ry for the boys to receive a free de.y whenever e. new boy addition comes into e. me.ster•s family.

At the Sunday night school meeting of November 23r4 Mr. Cle.rk proposed a plan in which the free de.y would be used for Friday's classes and when e. vote was ce.lled it was practically unanimous.The new bounds of the vacation were from Wednesde.y, November 26, e.fter o]s.sses to Sunday, November 31, at 6:00 o'clock.
