Colors, Shapes of Furniture, Lights One of the most outstanding features of Mon- terey High is the school library located directly opposite the main entrance of the school and be- tween the two study halls. Miss Pansye Harris, librarian; Mrs. Troy Bowers, library clerk; and four student assistants each period are available to check out books from 8 a.m. until 4:10 p.m. There were at press time 3650 new books in cir- culation for reference work and for free reading. Located at the front of the library are several conference and work rooms. The librarians use one of these rooms for storing supplies for mark- ing books and for repairing damages. There are large cork bulletin boards on which the library presents displays and exhibits on new books and proper uses of library facilities. From the library budget an effort is made to purchase books and magazines beneficial to the students. 12

Dedicates School To Future In the large picture is shown a group representa- tive of the phases of school life in Monterey — sports, publications, clubs, student council, and academic activities. Each phase was spotlighted before the 10-foot Plainsman while hidden voices narrated the activity. With each presentation the particular work accomplished in the high school career was dedicated to the furtherance of knowl- edge and to the development of personality and character through careful selection of academic and extracurricular activities. Mr. Honey smilingly looks on as Mack Robertson and Mr. Williams shake hands in front of the symbol of the school after the dedication of the auditorium. Monterey our best to you . . . The traditions set by the first student body have combined appropriateness, usefulness, and originality. Mardi Gras provided a festival spirit for the annual all- school party. Plans are being made to convert this party into q cotton festival that would lend itself more to the Plains area. The band has set as a tradition to execute a counter-march out of which the letters MHS are formed across the field during halftime activities at football games. The seniors selected as their money raising project Disneyland with the Tomorrow, Fantasy, and Fron- tier Lands. THE MONTEREY MIRROR and the CHAPARRAL staffs have set up a system of recoqnizing out- standing students in various fields. The bi-weekly paper featured Plainsman Personalities, while the Plainsman Portraits were pictured in the annual. For such accomplishments in this first year's expe- rience, We shall always be proud to say . . We are Plainsmen of Monterey. 11
