The exhibit walls of the library currently display the School's collection of original masks and from the Pacific Islands, mostly donated by Peter Ferry, Class of 1975, with one piece donated by Mr. and Mrs. Nicolas Bonadies, parents of Anthony, Class of 1973.  Oceania is the name of a group of more than 25,000 South Pacific Islands.  This Pacific Island art was developed there in isolation from other influences.  These are named Sepik, because they originate from the area around the Sepik River in New Guinea. The basic sculptural materials are wood. The masks show a belief in spirits whose forces could be honored by images, in the hope of appeasing the spirits uncontrolled forces in their natural environment.
