Library aides are student volunteers who assist with the
daily operation of the school library. Without the assistance
of these students, the library could not function as efficient­
ly and smoothly as it does. The aides assure prompt and
courteous service to students who come to use the library
facilities. In addition to taking charge of the circulation
desk, the aides perform a wide range of duties including;
checking out books; renewing books, typing catologue
cards, book cards, and packets; filing; and straightening the
shelves. Library aides work only during their study periods
and are assigned to the library for either one semester or the
entire year. One of the biggest jobs comes at the end of the
year when these students assist in the complete inventory of
all the library's holdings. These students gain an introduc­
tion to a possible career area and learn skills that they may
put to use as a community worker after their formal educa­
tion is completed. The Library Aides are able to perform a
valuable service for their school and for each student who
uses the library facilities at Wilson.

The Rap Room aids students in releiving any tensions or
problems that may arise. The room is open every period and
students can be seen coming and going at all times of the
day. There are discussions on various subjects such as
drugs, grades and family life. Everyone sits comfortably
around the room, speaking with teachers and students, on
an informal basis. Many times other students will help out
their fellow school mates. The student and teachers spon­
sors have a certain period in which their responsibility is to
lead the sensitivity exercises and start the group discus­

is a relaxing and worthwhile atmosphere. The students here
feel greatly satisfied by this service, they come with troubles
and anxieties and leave feeling reassured with answers to
their questions.
