.ff - Miss Ensuz SMITH lie ib'l6l7y Standing my wateh over this grand old institution I have seen the library grow into an invaluable part of Durham High School. This year under the direction of Miss Emily Loftin it eelehrated during BOOK VVEEK its twenty-fifth anniversary with the first fornial broadeast from the high sehool audi- torium. That. afternoon parents, teachers, home room presidents, and Library Club members sipped tea and looked at some of the -H10 new books and sixty-five periodicals that the students have enjoyed this year. l'AHl-126 041: .llvepmfment Right under me is the Art. Department, the big' room on the third floor that was al- ways oyerllovving' with students who loved to paint and work. The art classes, under the direction ot' Miss Elsie Smith, made adver- tisements and performed odd art jobs for the sehool whieh we1'e fun as well as profit- able. The artists were an important part of the Ili-Ruelfef and BIESSENGER statits. Then, of course, there were the regular elasses of painting, drawing, inkingr, model- ing, and studying famous artists. By the way, what do you think of modern art? Although it hefuddles me completely, the art students seem to like it. Miss l+lM1l.Y LOFTIN
