In order to procure additional books for the school's collection, a library committee, composed of members of the school faculty and parents, is spon- soring the collection of old magazines which will be sold and the proceeds devoted to the book fund. Parents and pupils are being urged to give the school all old magazines that they may have and these are being collected and bound into bundles at the school.
