The Library Through books the cherished beliefs and aspirations of man have been handed down from one generation to another. Christopher Morley said recently, If you have time for nothing else, listen to what Chaucer, Matthew Arnold, and Rudyard Kipling have to say about our immediate problems. These writers gave literary form to all the ideals for which we stand and for which we are fighting. The trail of Nazi occupation in Europe has been marked by Hames from the burning books which Hitler feared for thoughtful men to read. Knowing this, we may better appreciate the value of our school library, wherein one may find pleasure as well as knowledge. Here in the heart of our school we read and learn under the helpful supervision of Miss Findley and Miss Stockwell. l 0 G p ist, Warner, Street0Row 2-Morse, Wharton, Bender, Colton, Greene, Miss Sarah Findley, H d erer0Row 3-Lutrey, Knaus, Schlobohn, Breitmeyer. iss ocena k l M R Stoc we tt m Group: Lakewood students make use of the library. erence for Dick M svmwwmnmn- sf. xwwinuun1-- N..,w Mm ww

Today's Issues Are Clarified by Page Books provide one of our most worth- while means of enjoyment as well as a source of knowledge. Who hasn't laughed at the amusing antics of such fictional characters as Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer, cried for Little Eva in Uncle Tom's Cabin, jeered Mr. Hyde, or applauded Sher- lock Holmes? Learning to enjoy and appreciate lit- erature is important in our English Work. 18 Familiarity with the literary masters of England and America enables one to understand the ideals of our democracy as they have come to us through the A, years. Such men as Mil- ton, Ruskin, Paine, Jef- ferson, Newman, and Browning have left us a record of man's desire for freedom and his growth toward those 1 ideals which we are striv- ing to preserve today.
