Here they are now. They've just come from English and are looking rather thoughtful and perplexed. Miss Dannelly must have sprung a written lesson on some impossible subject upon which their brains re- iused to register knowledge. ' Gertrude Williams has just come in and asked for Goldsmith's How To Be Popular. Surely she was getting it for some friend-Geraldine, perhaps. y . Here comes Zula Williams, Johnnie Belle Ward, Mary Latimer, and Louise Taylor, all in a group with interesting looking little note books. Let's see what they want. They all stand in a line and asked Catherine and Mary Agnes to write in their memory books. 'Twas ever thus with Freshmen! Eleanor Beall's out in study hall, and I hear her laughing all the way in here. She and Mary Amos and two or three others cause a con- stant uproar in study hall during this period. I can just see William Jessup in there trying to study a debate or declamation and wishing with all his might that Eleanor would be merciful. Jack Strickland has just come in and asked for 'The Three Muske- teers.' He was fussing because he had to read it. Said he didn't see why he had to read a whole book that was so dry and uninteresting when there was a copy of Grimes Fairy Tales in here that he would enjoy so much. By his tone of voice and facial expression one might have gained the impression that he was being dealt with most unjustly. Jack's all right, though. I know it isn't very long before graduating time, because there was a crowd of Senior girls in here a while ago talking about dresses, caps, gowns, diplomas, class day exercises, and all such like. They're all thrill- ed beyond words because they are soon going to receive their educa- tion. , Every day, at the fifth period, the study hall is favored with a solo by Bush Crawford or with a duet by Bush and Edna Rollins, or even sometimes Mary Agnes participates, and there is a trio of course, all that takes place while Miss Stafford is in the front of the room. Their favorite song is Flow Gently, Sweet Afton. Leonard Speake came in just now and looked so sad and forlorn. Someone asked the trouble and heaving a great sigh, he explained that his second wife had just quit him. Oh, it's terribly sad! You see, QAS Mr. Subscriptionj he was married to Catherine Bentley, CMiss Gargoylej and then he married Geraldine in Miss Cherryblossom. For some rea- son which he declines to tell, neither marriage was successful. Everybody's left the library now, so I guess it must be time for the bell. I hate that, because everything will be so quietg but it will all begin again tomorrow. Don't you think they're an interesting bunch of folks? Call me again sometimes and,let's have another talk.

The Observances of a Libraru Book Almost always when people think they are very sly and crafty, and that they are getting by with all sorts of things, that very time is when they are being watched very closely. I've been in the Dothan High School Library for almostiour years now, and I have seen and heard some interesting things, which I just must tell you. Call me tomorrow morning, and we will have a little chat. TUESDAY MORNING Oh, hello, is that you? Well, how fortunate that you called just at this time. Here comes Lucy Glenn and Ethel to take charge of the Li- braryg I hope nobody calls for Ben Hur, because I want to stay and see what goes on in here. I just wish you could hear Lucy Glenn and Ethel fussing over Clar- ence McQuagge. They both think he is desperately enamoured with them, and their arguments over him are almost like perpetual motion. Here he comes now. Wish you could see them blushing. Wait till he's gone, and I'll tell you what they said. He's gone now, how romantic! Ethel went timidly up to the door and asked him what book he would like to have. I was on pins, because he's been wanting me two or three days. He flashed Ethel one of those love-lorn smiles and said he wanted a volume of Browning's love poems. Ethel blushed and said she wondered why he wanted that. He said that he was trying to perfect himself in love-making in order that he might win Lucy Glenn's heart, can you imagine it!?! No use going into detail ls to what took place as soon as he left. Here comes Miss Ratliff tripping in, with that perpetual smile of hers brightening her fair countenance. She has asked the librarians if they would please see that a copy of Current Topics stayed in the li- brary. I soon saw Burt Armstrong and William Steele trying to crawl under the library table when they saw her coming. fThey talked in class yesterday and didn't volunteer to stay inll As Miss Ratliff trips out, Mr. Stough appears on the scene. They seem to sense his coming and become almost deathly silent. He appears, and in that basso-alto voice, peculiar to him, wants to know: Have either of you two seen Waymon Newton in the last five min- utes ? They have not, so Mr. Stoufh flashes them one of those looks which seem to say, 'You poor insignificant things,' and is gone. Emma Lou Bass is dashing in now, always in a hurry. She must have a reference book with a life of Cooper in it. It's only five minutes till time for the bell, and she has English the next period. I hope she learned it, but there's the bell and the Library must change hands. Catherine Bentley and Mary Agnes keep it this period.
