PAPERBACKS AVAILABLE
IN SCHOOL STORE
During the past few months, the
school store has offered a wide variety of paperback books for stu- d e n t use. These books, ranging in price from 25-75 cents, have made it possible for students to buy and read many books which have here- tofore been available only in the library'.
The selections range from recent writings on science and mathematics to the latest Broadway plays, and include many volumes found on the required reading lists of the various departments.
The store's paperback display was established by the school librarian, Mr. W . L. WyaH, who supervises the selection and purchasing of books for the display racks.
According to Mr. Wyatt, the major purpose of the project is to encourage voluntary outside reading of good literature and informative material by the student body.
