fv- iyi . Our Library HIRTEEN years ago when Scott was young our library was only an empty room with bare steel cases lining the walls. A discouraging sight, one might think, but Scott students and teachers were not easily discouraged. Under Miss Camp- bell's direction postal cards of Scott were sold. With the results of this sale our library was started. Miss Ritchie Wasn't satisfied, and appealed to Mr. Mockett. He and nine others contributed one hundred dollars each. By 1920 we had fourteen hundred volumes. In 1921 and each succeeding year the Board of Education has appropriated two hundred and fifty dollars. This year Miss Ritchie asked for more money, and the appropriation was doubled. The Scottonian and Thistle boards of '21 and '22 gave six hundred dollars for magazine racks, files, and desks. The classes of 123 and '24 left fourteen hundred dollars as memorials. In 1924 the custom of having student assistants was started. This year a new organization, the Scott Library Association, whose purpose is to promote the interest of the library, has been formed Four hundred dollars was raised on Library Day VVe plan to make this an annual custom We have reached our first goal live thousand volumes, the minimum number set for a school the size of Scott by the National Library Association Now the once bare cases are nearly full, and the room has a buslnessllke aspect The students show their appreciation of the library by their use of it About three hundred go there for reference work each dav From fifteen to thirty books are taken home every night It is largely through Miss Ritchie s efforts that our library has grown to its present size We have reached the minimum Now we must look ahead and strive for a library equal to the best JOSEPHINE LASKEY I 0 I I n , , u ,122 2 1231
