Greenbank’s has 2,173 volumes, 260 of which were added this year by aid of scholastic organizations. The library is open to all stu- dents and teachers who may have use of it. Greater use of the library was emphasized this year, to all who were unacquainted with the resources of the library. ■ We must think of a library as a friend or as a tool — books are friends to all who seek this friendship. Also, books are tools which help us solve the riddles of our earth and all subjects. All the world’s knowledge is written in books for us to taste of, and drink deep if we are interested in the subject at hand. This fact should be recognized by all, and used to advantage. ■ Persons shown in the accompanying photograph are, left to right: Betty Turley, George Cromer, Julian Tracy, Raymond Lambert, Edward Meeks, George Plyler and Estelle Duckworth.
