Books Are Basic From our ABC days to graduation we find our- selves constantly concerned with books. Tossed into our lockers, morning, noon and at 3:30, are books valued from three to five dollars apiece, making the total per student about twenty dollars. These valued books we carry home through rain and shine, show- ing that we are aware of the fact that the degree of our learning depends to a large extent on our be- ing able to make good use of books. The privilege of having these texts opens a fresh, challenging field of opportunities in the ever-changing time in which we live. The concern for keeping up with the very latest text books is clearly shown in the new mate- rial received this year. New books adopted began with a colorful edition added to the World His- tory curriculum. A mathematics text, including solid geometry, trigonometry and an introduction to col- lege math started a wave of seniors carrying home another book every night. Science Discovery and Progress presented the latest general science infor- mation to the ninth grade classes, also general math- ematics in Using Mathematics gave students a new book from which to learn. Business English and Let- ter Writing and Applied Business Arithmetic stim- ulated interest in a business curriculum. The long an- ticipated health course at B.H.S. begun as a part of the physical education program, added to our homework a book entitled Health and Safety for High School Students. Increasing interest in the ro- mance languages brought on the purchase of a fourth year Latin book on the study of Vergil's Aen- ied. Work books were supplementary helps and Reader's Digest added to out-of-class study mate- rial. PLANNING THE YEARS AHEAD.

OVERl Bonnie Killgallon and Dale Heyman are impressed by the stack of textbooks sup- plied by B.H.S. Book collections are maintained by various de- partments and remain very valuable as a supple- ment to our Industrial Arts and Agriculture sections. Home Economics is well supplied with related books to aid the understanding required in homemaking. The necessity and desire for using and building li- braries even extends to some of the extra-curricular activities. The Future Teachers of America Organiza- tion is taking advantage of the high quality psychol- ogy and teacher improvement books available at the present, while Mask and Sandal holds a large collection of various types of dramatic works. Our high school library, iammed with over six thousand books is also iammed with students eager to learn. Many of our own students spend their share of time in the Bryan Public Library, curiously investigating the content of various references, because now they know these books are the basis of higher edu- cation.

.1 'nv We L1ke It Here Day by day and year by year we add to our storehouse of knowledge and friendships We come to school to gain understanding which will help us in our adult life At BHS there is no reason for any student to feel neglected There is a course for each of us to follow whether we are planning to attend college go into the commercial field or find work in lndustry Every day is filled with something new and wonderful. Maybe ,its a new microscope or an exciting and different assignment in English, perhaps it is a brain-twisting math or physics problem, which when finished will give us a feeling of great achievement. What- ever it is, we have enjoyed doing it. All the modern facilities we have make our task of learning easier. The atmosphere of our colorful rooms with their pastel walls, maps, globes, reference books, and bright bulletin boards is quite conducive to study. We can always take our problems to our friendly faculty, who seem to have that extra few min- utes to advise us. All these facts are but a few of the many which make up the reason why we like it here. 4
