J. RAY SCARBOROUGH, Greenwood Librarian, received the BS degree in Education from SMS and the MA degree from Missouri University. Would this help you? Mr. Scarborough helps Harold Weatherwax find an autobiography that would be interesting for a report in World History. LIB - - INFOEMAUON AND 4 Okay, girls, these books will be due two weeks from today, says Mr. Scarborough to Linda Simmons and Regina Bilyeu. The girls know that if they should ever need assistance in locating information of any kind, Mr. Scarborough is always willing to lend a helping hand. The library is one of the most frequently used rooms in Greenwood High School. It is used as a study hall and a library from 9 in the morning until 3:15 in the afternoon. Many stu- dents also used it for study before school and at noon. The library shelves and stacks con- tain many volumes of references, non- fictional books, novels, and current magazines. The magazine reading room proved to be a most popular place. Much time and work were given by J. R. Scarborough, librarian, in main- taining the library. Keeping the books up to date and in order, checking books in and out, and taking care of the study hall were just a few of his many duties.

HOME ECONOMICS - - PPACTVCALTPAINING Basic skills of homemaking were taught in first and second year Home Economics classes. Valuable knowledge in cooking, sewing, interior decorating, and budgeting were gained. Second year students were taught in the same fields as were first year students but in a more advanced form. All activities were taught in three well- equipped Home Economics rooms which include a comfortable dining room, a modern laboratory-kitchen of three units with the latest facilities, and a sewing room. Knowledge gained in these classes will benefit any future homemaker or home econ- omist. Making their first ensemble for the annual Greenwood style show is quite exciting for Judy Sawyer and Ann Oswant. Miss Richard- son assists these first .year Home Economics girls with their machine stitching. SARA M. RICHARDSON, Supervisor of Home Economics, received the BS degree from SMS and the ME from the University of Missouri.
