THE ANCHOR
Each of these books have been accessioned and fitted with book pockets and lending cards. At the sorority meetings each month these books are exchanged among the girls. During the summer months when the sorority group does not have regular meetings, the books will be kept at the home of the president who will loan them out to any members who come for them. It is the hope of the Beckley alumnre that this idea will encourage other alumnre groups to contribute in some definite way to the collegiate chapter. ELIZABETH JO NES
