Assisting Betty McFerrin, Patricia Burse finds wooing in the library a pleasure. Q. What do you do when research paper time rolls around and someone has just the volume of encyclopedia you need? A. Don’t panic! Use one of the other 11 sets. Q. Is the DHS Library guilty of chauvinism? A. No, we have 3 magazines just for girls and 1 just for boys. Q. Have you ever wondered where the money went after you paid for that library fine you owed? A. Maybe you bought a bottle of Elmer’s glue or a roll of Scotch tape. Q. Guess who was the last person to check out and read all 2,663 pages of the largest book in our library? A. Nobody, You can’t check out the Websters Unabridged Dictionary. Q. Which book has spent more time out of the Library than in? A. Go Ask Alice. No dummy, that is the name of the book. Q. Have you ever used the excuse there was nothing to read? You were wrong. There are 7,163 books to choose from in our library. Do you believe students don’t read as much as they did in the 1960’s? Looks like we don’t. Students then checked out over 100 books daily while we average a mere 48. Guess how many words are listed in the 146 dictionaries in our Library? We give up. How many? Can you name the copyright date of the oldest book sitting on the shelves of the DHS Library? It’s Sitting Bull and the Indian War and its copyright date is 1891. If you asked how long you thought Mrs. West had been DHS Librarian what would you say? If you said 14 years I’d say you had been talking to Mrs. West. Who knew every nook and cranny of the library before Mrs. West did? Mrs. Ledbetter. If you picked religion as your topic for your research paper, you goofed. Why? Because the subject our library has the least amount of books on is religion. Phil Jackson Janel Kaylor Carolyn King Donald Knoll Michelle LaCotts Seniors 17
