OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY In October, 1921, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Yeager, in order to perpetuate the memory of their son, Leon Grant Yager, gave the Casey Township High School, District No. 202, the sum of fifteen hundred dollars for the purpose of establishing and founding the Leon Grant Yager Memorial Library. The first list of books was selected by R. D. Kean, Superintendent of C. T. H. S. at that time. Many books have been added by the school board each year until our present library comprises 1800 volumes which cover the field of science, religion, sociology, biography, literature and history. The school board added about one hundred and fifty dollars worth of books to the library and this year a new set of encyclopedias, a set of World’s Best Orations and a number of single volumes have been received. There are 500 collateral reading books for special use in English classes, 400 reference books on History, 150 on social sciences, science 125, mathematics 40, music 30—besides the fiction group. In addition to the fifteen reference magazines including Literary Digest, Outlook, Asia, World Work, Time, Review of Reviews, National Geographic, Musical Courier, etc., there are many general magazines received regularly. In the newspaper files you will find the Chicago Tribune and various school and college papers. On the one side of the wall in the library is a large bulletin board which is in constant use—Outside reading lists in English, list of references in different classes and notices of interest to different students are placed on this bulletin board. Books can be taken out over night or on two weeks cards. The library is in charge of our capable librarian Miss Retha Miller and is open from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. Every period in every day finds many students looking up material on a wide variety of subjects. A LIFE WITHOUT BOOKS Busy that man must be indeed, Who thinks he has no time to read, No time to sit down and look Upon the pages of a book. So busy with his tasks of day, So eager, with the night to play. That Tennyson is thrust away! Near him are richer friends than those His daily wandering ever knows; Friends who would share his every mood And fill his heart with gratitude, But he’s so busy that he must Know Shakespeare merely as a bust, A bit of marble gathering dust. Busy that man must be, who finds No time for all God’s noble minds, Who sees them waiting all about, Takes tradesmen in and shuts them out. He lives his life on crowded streets, Listens to every man he meets, But has no time for Lamb or Keats. Fancy a garden wondrous fair With every lovely blossom there And at its farthest end a shop Where one to eat a bite could stop. Not to know books would he, I think, Like racing there to eat and drink, Blind to the roses, white and pink. Seventeen
