Students signing library slips in the
high school library will soon be able
to write more legibly. Formerly the
pupil had to lean over to low table
in signing the slips. Writing in this
position is difficult and many of the
slips could hardly be read. Now the
woodworking class is making an ad-
dition to the table. It is a structure
that will be screwed to the top of the
old table at the outer edge.
This will make it high enough that
person may stand up and write with
ease. The stand will be long enough
to accommodate six people at one time.
The writing space will be Il inches
wide Enough space will be left under
the stand for the handling of the
books.
