Smiling John Lee Dykes, head of the Math Department teaches interesting courses in Analytical Geometry, Socialized Mathl Plane Trig, and Calwlusenot to mention the ordi- nary run of the mill. Despite a full schedule of teaching he preaches almost every Sunday, directs the work of about twenty preaching students, and teaches in the teacher training course dawn town. He is chairman of the library committee also. Food rationing will be no problem to him with his productive hobby of raising 600 chickens. He is interested in more systematic Bible and Sunday school teaching and reads much in that field, feeling sure that this work will better the world's morals. Just as the Indians were here when the pilgrims landed, so Miss Catharine Score, our librarian, was on the campus when Harding College arrived. She had been with Galloway College for ten years and now seems like part of the library. There are l7,l45 volumes charged to her meticulous care and the yearly circulation is about l0,000. Periodicals are subscribed to which cover all departments, 115 magazines in olll Les, lie's Illustrated Newspaper from 1857-l885 is one of the library's rare possessions along with the New York Herald for April 15, l865, reporting Lincoln's assassination. Esther Marie Clay and Marie Chunn were seniors who assisted in the library work. Knitting and reading at the same time constitutes Miss Score's unique hobby. A subtle sense of humor is Miss Score's and you will often see her with a twinkle in her eye. In her library work she is conscientious and will not rest until a lost book is found.
