The schools are growing larger and the ex- hibits are getting better each year. This year the high school exhibit was held in the gymnasium April 30 and May 1. Each teacher was assigned a booth for his or her work. There were many interesting exhibits in- cluding the different awards won by L. H. S. in the past year. The science exhibit, history, commercial, dramatics, mathematics, athletics, and language exhibits were outstanding. Exhibit A memoriam for our beloved teacher, the late Mrs. Effie Van Wyk, was a part of the English exhibit. It took the form of books and flowers that she would have liked to have seen in our library. A fashion show was presented twice each evening by the members of the Home Econom- ics Class. Puppet shows were staged by the Art Club. There was music by the Liverpool High School orchestra throughout each evening. The exhibits inspire the students to do better work and it is hoped that they will be contin- ued in the future. l.....- Library News ' HEN you read a book, recommend it to your friends. VVith this slogan in mind, the student library staff of Liverpool High has increased the library circulation over fifty percent, and with such a diversified new selection of new books, who wouldn't be tempt- ed to read? Books of all types have been added. Anne Morrow Lindberg's North to the Or- ient , Men Against the Clouds , 'fAll Sails Set , Wind in the Rigging , a very interest- ing biography of VVill Rogers, George Arliss' Autobiography, are a few that would appeal to almost any reader. As a student memorial for Effie Van Wyk late head of the English Department, several new books have been purchased and are in cir- circulation. Life with Father , Seven Leag- ue Boots , It Can't Happen Here , If I Had Four Apples , The Hurricane , 100,- 000,000 Guinea Pigs , and 'fThe Magnificent Obsession comprise this selection. Much credit is to be given to Elizabeth Michaels, Ruth Crawford, Mary Adams and Carolyn Thoman for their assistance in keep- ing the book-shelves and the books themselves in good-looking condition. Betty Pease is to be complimented upon her very tasteful decora- tion of the bulletin boards, and Dorothy Crowell upon her able assistance, which is too valuable to be classified. Under the supervision of Mrs. Webb, who is the school librarian, our library is very highly rated, very well kept, and very complete. The students, as a whole, do much to promote the success of the library. The national library slogan could well be changed to meet the needs of our Liverpool- ians. Instead of a place to grow and a place to grow in, it should be changed to- A place to go, a place to talk, a place to get help, and a place to get good books.

HAT does the world hold for those who are about to graduate from high school? Politicians dwell upon unemployment, its cause and cure. However, the advice of most business men to graduates is for them to get as much education as possible. If one can not afford a college education, then one should make use of post-graduate courses in high school, courses in night school, and the reading facilities of the library. However, every effort should be made to gain a college education, because the chances are exceedingly bright for those who have the foresight to prepare for a career in one of the newer fields, or one which is not overcrowded. Today such companies as General Electric and Westinghouse are interviewing young men not yet graduated from college, with the idea in view of having them start work right after graduation. All in all, the student who has foresight, ambition and the will to climb to the top has a very good chance to get there. But there is another thing that faces the graduate today. Diplomats shriek war! War - more deadly than ever before! Yet, after all, who are those that will stand in front of the very latest instruments of destruction, most of them guaranteed to kill, or at least maim for life. Well, if there is to be another war, we might as well begin to quote, We who are about to die-, for it is we, and our fellow students all over the land, in both high school and college, who will face the cannon and fall. VVe were born during, or just after, the war. Today, we are seeing its long-lasting effect upon civilization, we are looking forward to paying for it, and, to top it all, we are hearing all the details about another war! We can give thanks that our school system does its utmost to give us a clear and unpre- judiced view of all questions and governments.
