Too bad that we must plan months ahead for films we'll want next school year, but we must. Must be sure, too, that I've placed purchase orders for the recordings I'll want, blank tapes I'll need and filmstrips which are to be added to our permanent collection. Must be sure to order the reference and catalog materials I'll want, too. June! Time to think about some of the major projects that mu.st be plan ned now and begun either immediately or next school year. So much to do. So many idea. What are the most promising; which will serve the students of this school best? Let's see— there is the development, with the school librarian of course, of special collection of recordings. These are to be used in classes, yes, but they have two more important functions. They should be used for loan purposes. To be taken home by students and faculty for listening pleasure and yet they must be both educationally and artistically sound. This one has great promise. Mu.st remember to do more than talk about it. So much to do! So little time! And here it is— June again. June! The graduates of last year and \ears before coming back to visit the school and tell us about that allimportant freshman year at State University. Some come back to voice a simple "thanks" to a hard-working faculty for helping them in learning to study. Must remember to make some recordings of these boys and girls as they come back. They can tell our juniors— next year's seniors— a lot about what to expect in college, how to behave in college and ever so much more about the problem of getting into college. It's getting tougher, they all say, to get into the college of your choice. Must talk this over with the guidance counselor— I think we've got an original idea here which can be especially meaningful to our own youngsters. And, of course, if one of the youngsters wants to go to an institution not represented in the audio library we can build this way: we can ask the college to get us a special recording. June !!! So much to do .... so little time. But it's been a good year, a real good year. And next year will be even better. June! July! And now I can go fishin'! new Coronet films .
