GEN: Vertical file collectables

[gcms <wrush@PLANET.NET>]

Good morning-

Have any of you collected any gems from weeding out your vertical files?
It took me 5 years to weed out my library when I first took over.  I
finally got to my vertical file 7 years ago.  I don't believe it was ever
weeded.  Some of the outstanding pamphlets I saved were : Home protection
exercises (Civil Defense Mobilization 1959); New Jersey- development of the
state highway system [1960]; Exploring your personality [1950]; A new look
at soap sculpture; The soil that went to town; Getting along in school
[1951]; and my personal favorite - How to keep you teeth after 30.

Next year, I'll be losing the vertical file in a renovation of the library.
 They will become horizontal.  Should I rename it the horizontal file?
Keep it as the vertical file and suggest the kids look at it with their
heads bent at a 45 degree angle?  Name it the "X files" or have a "name the
file contest"?  It's Monday morning.  I teach in a middle school and I need
some humor.  Thanks!
