Mrs. Joanne Gray Mrs. Martha Welch Miss Barbara Yeagley The library is run smoothly and efliciently by our capable librarian, Miss Barbara Yeagley, and her staff of assis-tants. Making sure that each book is tiled, is properly checked in or out, and is placed on the shelves in correct order, are just a few of the many duties of a librarian. As a service to the stu- dents, slips of paper are sent daily, to each home room, letting each student know how much he owes on his overdue book. Also, the room adjoining the library has been equipped with a phonograph which will accommodate four people at one time who wish to enjoy the music from any of the 719 available record albums on file. There are also 8786 books or more, newspapers, numerous periodicals and ref- erence materials. As a result, our library adequately supplies the students and teachers of both Jackson High and Junior College with materials to enrich and supplement their classroom activities. mai rsaraat D im' Edumf Yflfl D ,varfmenf L' Wrzzrizzn

It gives the student an under- standing of living things, both plant and animal kingdomsg and it stresses the biology of the human being with emphasis on healthful living. Chemistry is also offered in the Science Department. This course is fundamental for those who expect to study science, medicine, engineering or nursing. Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes which matter undergoes. The study of the relationship of matter and energy is an integral part of the study of physics, which also studies heat, light, laws of mechanics, and sound. Aside from the courses expected in a science department is agriculture, which has both cultural and voca- tional classes.
