Library Serves Students and Faculty From fall to spring the library plays an important part in the lives of SHS students. Each day between two hundred and three hundred students visit the library. Among the 5000 books on the shelves are novels, adventure stories, and biographies. These and many others offer the students a chance to enlarge their reading field. To give students opportunity for research, the library is equipped with many fine reference books. Some of them are Encyclopedia Britannica, the VC'orld Book, and Webster's Dictionary. Many magazines are on hand for those students seeking lighter reading. The list includes Life, Saturday Evening Post, and Popular Mechanics. For students wanting aid in choosing a college or in planning a career there are the college bulletins and guidance texts. Miss Bettie Duncan. who is in charge of the library. has fifty student assistants who help her. Most of the girls who help Miss Duncan belong to the Library Club. This year the club was very busy changing the closed stacks of the library to open stacks. They also gave a Faculty Tea in April. At Desk Left to right: jane El- liot.
