MOORE LIBRARY HAS NEW SPRING DRESS Dear Juniors: I have been so anxious to tell you about our library, but decided to wait until it had put on its new spring dress. Now it is all ready. The Parent-Teachers' association helped to refurnish it. Almost all of the, furniture is wicker. A new section was added to the book-case, which runs along the south wall. Under the two west windows is a .new couch. Miss Dunlop's desk and a library table are on the north

side of the room. In the center, of the room is a , round wicker table and there are three chairs, one of

which is a rocker. We also have a beautiful screen. One of the teachers made draperies for the windows. I wish I could tell you Just how pretty and home-like this room Is. Mary Hayward. reporter for Joseph Moore school.
