A new desk made its appearance in
the Library Monday morning. We well
come this improvement and are anx-
ious to provide better seating ar
rangement for pupils doing reference
work. The tables are not entirely sat

Comparison with libraries in other
schools of similar size show that Lib
by has fewer books per capita than
most schools. To correct this pupils
will have to make the use of books
more general. The. library contains d
well chosen selection of reference
material besides several periodicals
of varying interests.
A new cupboard has been completed
for the shelving Of magazines, which
have been eatalogued ready for refer
ence use as soon as Readers Guides
can be obtained to show material
available.

enrolment of less than ESQ pupils
have at least 10 volumes per pupil
We have 7; employ part time IL

less than 81 year per pupil for new
books. Libby is spending about 81
cents per pupil this year, and pro-

Due to the fact that the libary is a
part Of the assembly our capacity is
100 per cent, thereby providing ex-
cellent opportunity for each pupil to
use the library for reference and gen.
eral reading.

team. Although this was Whitefish's
first team. it is known as the B Sec
ton and is as good as their A sec
ton, says the Whitefish coach and
Mr. Avery Of Whitefish.
The game was fast throughout. AL
though Whitefish held the lead al
most all the time they were never
sure of the game and never more than
five points ahead at any time.
Many times the Libby boys showed
good brand of basketball and al
most tied Whitefish but through hard
luck or the accuracy of the other team
they were never able to hold the lead.
Libby shot many times but were
never able to find the basket as of
ten as they did in the Eureka game.
The same night that Whitefish B
team played here, her A team played
Poison which they beat q to a.
