Wide Interest Is Shown
In City Reading Program
■
iESif la-iisa
If Consolidated School turns out
a group of exceptionally bright
boys and girls—and it consistently
does—part of the credit must go to
the summer library program, spon
sored by the Summer Recreation
Council of College Station.
During the nine months that
school is in session, the library,
located in the main building at
Consolidated High School, serves
as a school library. But in the
three summer months, during the
morning hours, a librarian is on
hand to aid youngsters in choosing
their reading material and to check
the books out to the children.
Second Summer
This is the second summer that
the reading program has been in
effect and, according to Librarian
Mrs. Owen S. Lee, the plan is
meeting with wide success.
“Last year,” she says, “we had
a few interested readers, but this
summer we have a group of ‘regu
lar’ readers.”
Reddish-blond haired Mrs. Lee
has a natural love for children
and a natural, as well as trained,
love of books, so she and her job
go together like the hand and
glove.
Gerry Lee was a bride of one
day—her husband is senior Aggie
math major Owen S. Lee—when
she came to Consolidated High
School as librarian. Armed with
a brand-new degree from TSCW—
she skipped graduation exercises
in order to have a wedding and as
sume her new position on Sep
tember 1, 1949—Gerry came to her
new job armed with interest, en
thusiasm and ability. Through the
two years she has been with Con
solidated, she has retained these
in large doses and has added to
her other attributes experience.
“Exceptional Program”
Mrs. Lee feels that the summer
library program is of vital im-
Ruhmann

dist Church to Miss Jeanne Louise
Russpll.
Parents of the newlyweds are
Mr. and Mrs. James Edwin Russell
of Floresville and Mr. and Mrs. E.
P. Ruhmann, Jr., of Kenedy.
The bride’s attendants were Miss
Ann Garland .and Miss Saralyn
Moore. The groom was attended by
his father as best man. Billy Kol
chak was groomsman. Ushers were
Aggie-ex Pvt. Milton Davis of
Camp Jackson, S. C., Clem Can
non and Paul May, Franklin Wood
and Jim Russell.
Ring bearer was Dickie Franklin
and flower girls were Karen Sue
Russell and Carole Schroeder.
Mr. and Mrs. Ruhmann are now

The Exchange Store
“Serving Texas Aggies”
portance to the community.
“My greatest concern,” she says,
“is in getting more children to use
the facilities that are available.”
She says that the boys and girls
who come to the library are excep
tional readers. “I wish,” she adds,
“that more boys and girls would
take advantage of our pi’ogram
because reading through the sum
mer months can improve their abil
ity to read and understand greatly.”
The youngest of Mrs. Lee’s “reg
ular” customers is two-year old
Lai’ry Holt. He comes sometimes
with his older brother, sometimes
with his mother. “He always se
lects a book and takes it home with
him,” Gerry says. “I suppose his
mother reads to him.” Some of her
other good readers are Jane Ann
and Michael Krenitzky, Helen
Klipple, Kathleen Heaton and Bev
erly Bloodworth. “I have many
others,” she says, “those names
just come to mind immediately be
cause they usually are around
every week, sometimes several
times.”
Story Hour
Wednesday mornings at the li
brary is story-telling morning and
Gerry Lee holds the rapt attention
of some two dozen youngsters
from the ages of two—Larry is
usually present—to eight or nine
while she relates fairy tales, ad
venture and animal stories. Re
cently she ordered two films, one on
animated puppets, the other called
“The Stray Lamb.” These she
plans to show the first Wednes
day morn in e after they arrive.
The library has a few books for
older boys and girls and for
adults.
“I wish,” Mrs. Lee says wist
fully, “that We could have develop
ed a better adult reading pro
gram.” She hopes that something
in this direction will be done be
fore another summer program is
started.
Often the young readers aid
Gerry in her job. Some of them are
always offering to straighten the
books on the shelves. On the bul
letin board are carefully and at
tractively arranged cut-outs of
Donald Duck. These were done,
the young librarian told us, by
Ross Chamberlain, one of her
youngsters who, she maintains,
“can do just anything in the way
of art work.”
Librarian Leaving
At the end of summer when
Owen graduates, Gerry will leave
the job she loves so much at Con
solidated School.
“I would take nothing for the
experience I’ve had here,” she says.
“I have kept the records, selected,
ordered, catalogued and accessioned
the books. Last semester I taught
one section of fourth grade read
ing.”
But you can bet on one thing:
The winsome young librarian,
who managed to cram a four-year
college course into three years and
be a member of some half a dozen
extra-curricular clubs while doing
it will not be idle. She will find
a couple of hundred other inter
ests on which to vent her bound
less energy. *
What is the most interesting
thing about Gerry Lee’s work?
“The children, of course,” she
says.
Doubtless the children find that
one of the nicest things about the
library is Mrs. Lee who always
has the time, the patience and the
interest to help them find exactly
the book they want to read.
