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

Language is the framework of all knowledge Look who is using the card catalogue, our faithful English teachers. English is undoubtedly the most important part of the school ' s cur¬ riculum. The student must be able to understand what he reads and to explain what he knows, if he is to succeed in our educational system. Accordingly, emphasis in English is placed on grammar, vocabulary and spelling, and reading com¬ prehension. College-bound seniors may elect a course in creative writing, while seniors taking com¬ mercial courses may substitute Busi¬ ness English for English IV. DAISY HATLEY A. B., High Point English Freshman Sponsor MRS. ANNIE W. MAY B.S., E. Carolina College English, Health Physical Ed. Senior Sponsor Lab sessions, dialogues, and occasional projects complement grammar study in the French Department.
