L’Annuaire, Brookville High School Office CT fHIS picture shows Professor Mcllhattan in his office. It is in this room and in the outer office that the business of the school is transacted. A filing cabinet, which does not show, is in the corner opposite Mr. Mcllhattan. The safe and the other desk fill two more corners. Our National Honor Society Charter is conspicuously hung. Miss Anchor s office is on the other side of the door. Perhaps the most interesting object is the clock furnished with an electric bell system. Near the door is the fire-alarm button. On the walls are framed photographs of other schools, pageants, and former high school classes. A mimeograph, a wide carriage typewriter, a standard typewriter, and an adding machine are examples of our fine office equipment. Over the desk one notices this: CODE OF A GOOD SPORT 1. Thou shalt not quit. 2. Thou shalt not offer any alibi. 3. Thou shalt not gloat over winning. 4. Thou shalt not be a poor loser. 5. Thou shalt not take unfair advantage. 6. Thou shalt not ask odds thou are unwilling to give. 7. Thou shalt always he ready to give thine opponent the shade of advantage. 8. Thou shalt not under-estimate any opponent, or overestimate thyself. 9. Thou shalt root with all thy might, but in rooting a good sport will root right. 10. Honor the game thou playest, for he who playeth the game straight and hard wins even when he loses. Page Twenty-four

L'Annuaire, Brookville High School The Library above picture shows our library as it appeared last year. Due to crowded conditions in the school, the library is used for a senior reporting room this year. In place of the tables they have put desks for the reporting students. We have added this year several shelves full of juvenile books for the grade chib dren. They are very popular. The library has many complete sets of reference books and encyclopedias. Refer-ences from these are very frequently requested by all the teachers. Under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Holt, the Dewey Decimal System has been established. All the books are recorded in three ways, so if you know what you want it is very easily found. A library grows as it is used. Last year three thousand volumes were taken out during the school year. This last year twice that number have been taken out—due to the privilege granted to the Junior High School and lower grades. These average fifty juvenile books a day. The first duty of the librarian is to help all students find their material. After you have your books and material—you can have a free trip to that certain field. The library has the books. Now you can go to school with yourself as you live, and by reading all sorts of books, you can receive a college education every year. Page Twenty-six
