The World Of Books And Dramatics THE OBJECTIVE of any good school library is to bring good books to Its students. That has been the aim of the Amerlcus High School this year. The librarian, Mrs. Bette Daniel, has attempted to provide sources of informa- tion for all classes. This year the board of education purchased 100 paper bound books; 150 books were loaned to us from the travel- ing library. We subscribe to one daily news- paper, and 10 magazines. All of these are well used. The keys to the whole world are the books and periodicals in our library. We hope the students in our high school are learning to use these keys. It’s all in the family.' ’’GRANDMA'S BEST YEARS, a 3 act comedy was presented by the Jr. class, Friday, November 13, 1959, to a large and enthusiastic audience.

 Mr. Jones explaining an experiment to the Senior Physics Class. SCIENCE AND Mathematics, both of which are so important to our modern life, received a great deal of attention at Americus High School this year. The chemistry class was large, so it was necessary for Mr. Jones to use demonstrations. Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry were offered by Mr. Ed. Jones and General Science by Mr. Carl Heinrich. In The Classrooms Mr. Heinrich looks on as his Science Class proves that light runs in a straight line.
