FACULTY Very few students fully realize the importance of our administration and faculty. The tasks which these people perform day after day are of the utmost im¬ portance to the students. They are preparing us for the time when we must leave the familiar and face the un¬ known, The courses of study offered by a school are the controlling factor in the kind of education that a school offers. The curriculum is the medium through which students and faculty reach a mutual understanding and agreement. It is the means by which we train ourselves for a future and whatever vocation we choose. Parents are linked with faculty by means of the Parent- Teachers ' Association, of which Mr. LeRoy Self has so ably served as president this year. If we co-operate with the faculty, administration, and our parents, we shall be capable of facing the future with pride, assurance, and a good background.

The library is our center of knowledge The library is the center of a stu¬ dent ' s academic activities. For help in any subject, a student finds himself going to the library. Mrs. Dorothy Yates and all the assistants are there ready and willing to answer any questions that may arise. Besides answering students ' questions, the librarians do anything from keeping the desk to cleaning the book shelves. Along with keeping the library in order, Mrs. Yates works many long, hard hours to see that the library is in the best possible condition for the students. No gift is more precious than good advice. Erasmus Our guidance counselor, Mrs. Mary Shotts, has worked many hours talking to the Seniors about college plans, helping the underclassmen work out problems, and always show¬ ing a kind word and smile. We, the students, really appreciate all she has done for us and all that she will con¬ tinue to do. Music hath charms to sooth the savage breast. Congreve The tliree music teachers devote their hours to musical training. Miss Yow is the band and chorus director for the entire county. Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Starnes instruct many piano students at the three Pittsboro Schools, and each puts on a recital in the spring. 15
