MARTHA COBB Samford University, A B. University of Alabama, L.S. Library According to Gibran, all books have three dimensions- height, depth, and breadth. They may also have the fourth—timclcssncss. Libraries containing these books arc the receptacles and distributors of human knowledge and advancement. The library at Shades Valle)', under the expert management of Mts. Martha Cobb and Mrs. Myra Worsham, is constantly being improved and changed. Besides books, it contains microfilm and microfilm readers, filmstrip machines, projectors, record players, tape recorders, opaque projectors, and many other items for general school use. The library is also a classroom where students are instructed in the fine art of how to run a library. In addition to normal duties, such as checking out books and assisting other students whenever necessary, the student assistants learn how to mend books. They also get some idea of the tremendous amount of paper work involved in correctly managing the library. Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Worsham and all the library' assistants strive continuously to serve the student body in every way possible. 28 MYRA WORSHAM University of Florida. B.A.E. Catherine Spalding.

Fine Arts Henri-Frederic Amici said, To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. Since the soul is progressive, it never quite repeats itself. In ever)' act it attempts to produce a new and better whole. Thus in art, creation, not limitation, is the goal. The Fine Arts Department, under the leadership of Mrs. Walker, helps students develop their individual talents. The department sponsors the fall play and Showcase , which is in the spring. The Fine Arts Department consists of the hand, art, choir, and speech teachers, who work together to increase the students’ aesthetic understanding of the world.
