Dedication Elaine Tiller Duty came to John S. Battle High School in 1964 and began quietly and competently to guide the transforma¬ tion of our library into a modern media center that has few equals among high schools of comparable size across the country. It was her conviction that the media center should be attractive, comfortable, and inviting, as well as up-to-date, well-organized, and functional. She is constantly on the look¬ out for new books, magazines, recordings, or filmstrips that are not only topical and relevant to the concerns of both stu¬ dents and faculty. Mrs. Duty has long been intrigued by the literature music, art and folklore of Appalachia. In response to recent renewed public interest in our regional history and culture, she sought and received a Title II grant for the collection of materials de¬ picting our Appalachian heritage. Thus, what began as a per¬ sonal hobby, spurred by Mrs. Duty ' s considerable initiative and hard work, culminated in our school ' s now possessing a unique, comprehensive, very valuable collection of Appala¬ chian literature, music, and artwork that can be envied even by larger, more sophistocated college or municipal libraries. Never complacent, however, Mrs. Duty continually seeks to add to the collection and to broaden the scope of its useful¬ ness as she does with other aspects of the media center. Each year Mrs. Duty co-sponsors the Library Club. Though Mrs. Duty is reserved and unassuming as she goes about her daily tasks, people close to her know that she is a warm, caring person with a delightful sense of humor. In appreciation for her dedication, her helpfulness, her re¬ sourcefulness, her efficiency, and her concern that the John 5. Battle students, faculty, and media center receive her best efforts, we proudly dedicate the 1976 PHOENIX to our librari¬ an, Elaine Tiller Duty.
