MISS DUNBAR A MESSAGE FROM OUR LIBRARIAN, BURIED TREASURE To know where you can find anything, that in short is the largest part of learning. Anonymous At the beginning of this semester, the pupils of the Burbank Junior High School discovered a wonderful cave within sight of their own school. Most caverns are dark and cold but this one is warm and softly lighted. The acoustics, however, are of such a nature that all who enter are silent, it being impossible to explore when there is the slightest noise in the cave. Once a week, each class, accompanied by a teacher, goes to this cave to search for the unknown treasure. No one can hope to find all the hidden treasure of this cavern in one semester. It would take a life time to ex plore all parts of the grotto. Y hat a rare opportunity this has been for the boys and girls to delve into the mysteries of thousands of underground passages and cham- bers! The guide instructs the class how to begin its search, but she has said that much of the treasure is hidden from her. That while she is willing to tell a.ny pu pil where she found her treasure, she knows that each one must make his own search. The wealth and wisdom of the ages a.re to be found in this honeycombed cavern. The guide said that some of the pupils are like eye less beetles and seemed only to see the sta lactites and stalagmites and were willing to watch the other boys car ry off the treasures. It is impossible for those who do not explore, to understand the ecstasy of the other pu- pils in finding these treasures. Even those who find uhc hidden ti Go-sux e do not always realise the full value of it until long after they have left the cave . But once they discover the spring and drink of its water the secret is theirs forever. ’ The treasuie is something they cannot lose) some- thing they can never forget; something they can carry with them every day of their lives; something the older they grow the more they will enjoy. One boy who found a bit of radium held it over the doorway and the other pupils read this inscription: THIS CAVE IS THE WEST BERKELEY BRANCH LIBRARY AND THE BURIED iREaSuRE Io THE JOY OF READING GOOD BOCKS.
