A thing of which Donelson High School could be proud was the well stocked library. Almost any kind of book could be found there, and Mrs Irwin kept them straight and in order. There were histories, novels, books of poetry and etiquetteg encyclopedias could be checked out for one period, as could maga- zines and certain reference books. Mrs. Irwin was aided greatly by student assistants who checked books in and out, kept the desk straight, filed books on shelves, and otherwise made themselves useful. The library took more work than most people realize.

Second period each day she had some activity planned. Q..- ART AND INDUSTRIALARTS GUIDE HAND IN CREATION From Mrs. Atkisson's art classes came some very good work this yearg Mr. Hunt's mechanical drawing and shop classes were equally successful. Several different methods were used in the art classes: water colors, tempera paint, and so forth. Anything was painted from still life scenes to student models.
