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.
