Getting books is usually a mad rush but these girls show co-operation by let- ting each other go first. NINE Makes the Puzzle Easier School spirit is a must in our school life although school spirit us- ually deals largely with athletics, it is necessary in school too. We learn to get along with others by showing a feeling of good sports- manship. The girls at the lockers try and show this spirit by showing each other courtesy. Individual help is shown by spirit of teacher want- ing the pupil to understand better. Individual help on certain problems is one of the many ways which our faculty show teamwork.

Cox Motor Sales All students bring back dishes and milk bottles which is a great help to our cooks. School Spirit and Teamwork EIGHT Teamwork and co-operation are not only found in sport activities but also found in daily school life. We have found that helping each other makes the picture puzzle form eas- ier. Many times there is paper on the floor, and the students take it on themsolves to help our janitors which shows teamwork. Co-operating with the cooks at school lunch is usually found in Men- tone School. All pupils carry back dishes and empty milk bottles which show another part of our plan of teamwork here at school. We'll help you to keep our school clean

TEN The Lawrence D. Bell Library WE GET HELP Last fall when we started school we had a very small library. Only a few fiction books, and a few magazines, a couple of newspapers, some old books, and some tattered encyclopedias were to be seen on the rickety shelves. Oh yes and we had a file cabinet that had pamphlets on anything you wished to read about; the only trouble was that you could never find the right one. Altogether we had about 600 books. Our librarians were Sandra Gross, Janet King, Jean Kurtz, Betty Mellot and La Vonne Montel. However in October we received word that Lawrence D. Bell, president of the Bell Aircraft Corporation, Buffalo, New York, was presenting us with a gift of $5,000.00 to improve our library. With so much added work we had need for assistant librarians. Those appointed were Linda Besson, Sandra Doden, Connie Doyle, Sue Lackey, and Leroy Markley. The study hall was partitioned off and half of it is now our library. We purchased about 1,700 books with Mr. Bells' donation. Large book shelves, a magazine rack, and a newspaper rack were built. Also purchased were four ractangu- lar tables, one round table, a librarian's desk, a dictionary stand, a large globe, and drapes. A few days before the library Dedication we received a large oil painting of Mr. Bell. On the evening of April 20 Mr. Bell dedicated the library. Donation (Johnnie Irene’s $5.00)
