LIBRARY INFORMATION
“Shanghai Passage,” by How
ard Pease is one of the recently
purchased books for the library.
This is an exciting story of a
young boy who is expelled from
West Point and after working
west finds himself on a tramp
steamer bound for China. Many
mysterious happenings aboard
the ship prove exciting and
thrilling reading for any high
school student.
“Peggy Covers Washington,”
and “Peggy Covers London,” by
Emms Bugbee and other addi
tions to the library. They tell of
the adventures of Peggy Foster in
her newspaper career and yet are
not so romantic as to build up
the wrong idea of that field of
journalism known as the news.
