PIKE HI NEWS STAFF Sarah Hendricks Editor Estelle Casebolt Alumni Editor Heber Johnson Business Manager Mallie Burke Advertising Manager Arthur L. Danburg Sponsor fa, fa, fa, fa, fa, 6, The Pike Hi News was established by the students of Pikeville High School under the direction of Mr. Arthur L. Danburg, in the fall of 1926. Its original dress was that of a newspaper, ranging from four to fourteen pages. In the fall of 1929, after three years, it took on a new style and appeared in magazine form, ranging from twelve to twenty pages, printed on good grade book paper, with beautiful covers in colors. The paper has always been greatly indebted to the business men of Pike- ville for their advertising support. However, they have been well paid, as The Pike Hi News has been helping spread the gospel of more and better education throughout Pike County. Our paper has a service to perform in helping to build this section. This year The Pike Hi News has had the best student support since it was established. During most of the year it has had a circulation of five hundred copies. The school paper should be backed by every student and faculty mem- ber because it is your paper. The success of The Pike Hi News has been largely due to Mr. Danburg ' s efforts. Page 56

LIBRARY ASSISTANTS THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY The Pikeville High School Library is a very important factor in our educa- tional system. Through the books in this library the students have an oppor- tunity of coming in contact with the very best literature that is to be found. It is here that the students get all their material for outside reading. The books were selected from the best and are ones that we all feel proud of. In our library there are about 1,025 volumes. Among these we have some of the very best encyclopedias, works of famous poets and about two hundred of the best novels, interesting books on history and science, that every student should read. An addition was made to our library this year, so, now we have a library at each end of the study hall. In the new section we keep the history, science and biography so a student may know exactly at which end the book he wants is to be found. We have also added $350.00 worth of new books and a maga- zine rack. In this rack we have about forty good magazines, ranging from Harper ' s, Scribner ' s, and Atlantic to The American Boy and The Saturday Evening Post. We also have the United States Daily, a paper which keeps us in touch with the doings of the government and country. The libraries are run entirely by the students. There is always someone in each library during every period. There are about thirty librarians in all who keep check of the books and see that everything runs in the proper order. Ou library has been growing very rapidly under Miss Hardinia Marshall ' s supervision and we hope it will continue to improve in the future. She has big plans for next year.
