LIBRARIANS Through books, young people come to understand the tradition of our nation and to value the long struggle of their ancestors for freedom and opportunity for all people. Books also broaden their sympathies with people of other lands and cultures, thus making it possible for them to see this global war in proper perspective. Through reading they are preparing themselves to become builders of a free world. The librarians know that Southeast students will be prominent in the building of this free world, and endeavor to supply the literary vitamins. The library reflects the activities and assignments of every classroom from shop work to history. It supplements, aids, abets both teacher and student in preparation of lesson or thesis. It also suggests recrea- tional reading through special displays or personal suggestions of the librarians. The sun streaming through its southern windows all day and the soft colors of its murals depicting scenes from some of Mark Twain ' s books add their charms to this corner of our school where we can lose ourselves in the printed page. There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away. Sally Lljinc Dcichcragc Kathryn Hoffcr Marv B. Herbert Bcrdine Petri .Sirs. Louise Hibberc M

The year 1943-44 has brought to this organization a wealth of information concerning the new horizons opening before us as a result of the social revolu- tions in our own country and in that of our neighbors, both far and near. Carolyn Benton Cockefair, Assistant Director, Division of Field Service and Associate Professor of English at Central Missouri State Teachers College in Warrensburg, has given a series of lectures on World Problems under the following topics: (1) Tensions Brought About by War Conditions in Kansas City; (2) Racial Problems in America; (3) The Economic and Cultural Back- ground of the Peoples and Personalities of China, (4) Russia, (5) the British Empire, (6) Latin-America; and (7) World Peace. The hearty co-operation of the members of the Parent-Teacher Association has been inspiring and helpful to the Executive Board in carrying on its program of service to the community. We are proud of the Crusader ; its name and the spirit of the student body of Southeast High School challenge us, as parents and members of the Parent- Teacher Association, to strive for the welfare of all youth of every land. Southeast, we salute you and wish you well. Very sincerely, THE EXECUTIVE BOARD Mrs. Harold Blocker, President 15
