Here the students could meet and mingle, and become with great informality, familiar with books, familiar with all the tools necessary to prepare their daily lessons, from this beginning to grow accustomed by easy stages to do more serious work in college. Dr. Brooks has much this builder's ideal for our Library here, it is essen- tially your Library, you are to come here throughout the year and during Summer School, to learn how to study, how to use the card catalogue, the clipping and picture file, in fact, to make all our material help you with your assignments, but more than all else to develop a love of reading, thus de- feating the tedium of study. We have some four thousand volumes on the shelves here and a library of two hundred books in the Primary School. From this list three hundred new titles have been added through the splendid efforts of the Mothers' Club of Cumnock. ls it vain to look into the future and work for a l-louse for your Library, built on the southwest corner of the Campus, by some other generous parent?

Dr. Warren of Lincoln's greatness spo-ke And patriotism within us woke. Miss Matsuoko of japan Showed us slides of that lovely land. Bill von Klipstein won each heart By his excellent singing and evident art. A weaver of linen entertained us well He had beautiful goods to sell. Our own Mr. Craig staged a fencing fest With Mr. Laughlin of Columbia, as guest An excellent foil he proved to be And the contest thrilled the company. Television gave us a treat indeed And let us vision future need. Dr. Blakeslee who Lincoln knew Cave us Lincolniana, fresh and new. Mrs. Grace Bush gave monologues good With humorous and philosophic food. Fairfax Girls' club called C-lee Gave us delightful melody. The Cumnock Players, full of fire, Acted several plays to fulfil our desire To watch them grow and ever improve, To see them splendid in every move. Mrs. Probst told us real Bible lore- Of knowledge she has a very great store. Our Glee Clubs two entertained us oft And with music lifted our souls aloft. A May Day Festival of rhythm and color, An offering by each Cumnock scholar, Made us aware of the beauties of Spring And made US wish we COULD dance and sing The year has sped, assemblies are over: Mrs. Briggs feels she's at rest in clover' She offers the job to whoever chooses, And wishes him luck if he wins OR loses. But it's been fun, and friendship and joy To feel the comradeship of each girl and boy We only ask that in years to come We have such sports in the total sum.

Romance is still adventure, literature reflects life, history is in the mak ing. The pen is yet mighty. John Levee 79
