Good Librarians Are Not Made Overnight. Research revealed that being a librarian is not as simple as it may appear. York’s two librarians, Mrs. Peggy Buchanan and Mrs. Moul went through quite a bit of study- ing to do what they claim to enjoy most. Mrs. Buchanan went to Radford College then Averett College. She majored in library science and obtained her B.S. in Education. She also took six years of graduate courses in library science and other education courses. Mrs. Moul attended the Missis- sippi State College for Women and majored in math. She received a B.S. degree in math and went on to take twenty-one hours of library courses. Both women said they worked in the library for enjoyment. How- ever, all the know-how in the world was still no good when York’s books, and its bookshelf room did not match. They ordered several new books to accommodate the SCOPE courses and ran into a space problem. The problem was left in their hands. Library

What Would We Do Without Them? Just think, without Mrs. Hais- lip, who would have run off all those tests? If it weren’t for Mrs. Wright, who would have checked attendance, written tardy notes, typed the daily bul- letin and made announcements? And Mrs. Soles — much money passed through those competent hands. Remember the three day waits for check requests. Of course that wasn’t her fault. Mr. Milam’s signature was hard to catch. Speaking of Mr. Milam, Mrs. Vernon deserved a gold medal for getting him through the year. Those office ladies — what would we have done with- out them? 1 — Mrs. Wright, 2 — Mrs. 3 — Mrs. Vernon, 4 — Mrs. Haisli I H Soles J I 12 Office

Guidance Is Responsible for Holding SCOPE Together Although the SCOPE pro- gram ran into a few rough spots in its first year, the number of problems it didn’t run into were overwhelming. York’s guidance department should have been commended for keeping things running as smoothly as they did. It was the responsibility of five people to keep 1495 students from crossing lines and coming up a Va credit short. Besides lin- ing up courses, the members, under Mrs. White as director, somehow found time to help prepare kids for college, take student surveys, and give those awful SAT’s. With one counse- lor per grade, one director, and Mrs. Pippin as the only secre- tary, the department did an excellent job. 1 4 Guidance
