THE LIBRARY: NOT A MAUSOLEUM Librarians The library was the most attractive place in the school. As one entered the door one was greeted with southern smiles. Carpet covered the floor, the books were neatly arranged on the shelves and the tables and desks were squeaky clean. The library was not an archive full of deteriorated books. It was a place to go for up-to-date resources for research, educational enrichment, and fun. Informa- tion for research was on hand for students and teachers seeking reliable data on spe- cific topics. The library was headed by Ms. Martha Coolidge who was assisted by Ms. Johnnie Spaulding and Ms. Lusille Christiansen, the media clerk. These professionals were all willing to assist the students and staff in any endeavor. The library welcomed students to tread upon it’s carpet and to be quenched by the air-conditioned rooms, and to delve into its journals. It dared students to enter the doors and take the first stride on the road to adventure and academic excellence. —Diatri Lockhart AUDIO VISUAL DEPARTMENT HEAD: Mrs. Christianson has a very demanding job. WHO EVER INVENTED CATEGORIZING?: Mrs. Spaulding asks as she attempts to accomplish the job. ADMINISTRATION 15

BACK TO THE BASICS Nurse Fighting illness has been a job since the beginning of time. Through the years, medicine has progressed. Mrs. Billie Ver- nett, our school nurse, has dealt with many illnesses. She attended to every- thing from headaches to finger cuts. She also conducted the hearing and vision tests, and checked blood pressure. The most common illness she faced was the stomach ache. She went back to the basics to treat this ailment. She used bak- ing soda and water as her magic potion. One might have observed that the newest method was not always the best method. —Brandt Haney DOING HER JOB: Nurse Billie Verrett looks over stu- dent medical records. WHO NEEDS A NURSE ?: This student is an answer to this question. JUST IN CASE: The Chatham County Emergency Medical Service provides an ambulance in case of an accident. 16 ADMINISTRATION
