LIBRARYISMS I Sh-sh-sh! Have you ever heard it? Oh, yes, those of us who have entered that sanctuary of silent volumes, row on row, yet not silent, for every page speaks as loudly as any voice we have ever heard, words wonderful and wise. Silence is Golden. Listen and you will hear the voices from out those pages of mys- tery. At eight a.m., the magic portals fling wide and in comes the rush of thirsty souls who would drink from fountains of free- flowing knowledge. They are greeted and directed about by wise- looking assistants, F rieda, Lena, Libbie, Olive, Katie, Ollie Mae, Clara, Beatrice, Tillie, Jeanette, Ben, Archie, Jessie, Asai and Ichrio, besides other supplies and adjuncts. The bee hive of the school, truly it is, from morning till evening. Running along through them come such interesting questions and requests as: 'KI want to End somethin' 'bout Sciencef' Teacher told us to get a small red book. Don't know the name. 'Tm trying to find somethin' for a theme 'bout, 'bout, oh you know, the things we have to hunt up in Junior Business l Is that book in that I was talking about last week ? I have been through the 'A' volume and cannot find Abraham Lincoln at all. So goes the round, sufficient to tax all resources of Noah lVeb- ster, New International Encyclopaedia, and the W'orld Al- manac. Oh no, the librarian's patience is not exhausted, for is it not as endless as the How of words which proceed from the mouths of high school students? Her compensation is very great. The contact with new books, getting them before the attention of the boys and girls and knowing that whatever the mind habitually feeds upon, that will the character become. Here opportunity knocks, not once but incessantly. That every student in Lafayette May use our library free, Each boy and girl a reader, So let our motto he. ' -B. M. L.
