Library assistants (above) render daily service to the student body. Worksliops on book processing, reference books, and routine duties have proved valuable to these workers this year. LiIdf The library is an important aid to students. The freshmen have a very effective orientation program each year under the supervision of Mrs. Vinson, our librarian. 300 new books have been added to our library this year. The process of set- ting up an information file and set- ting up a permanent card file for periodicals are two library projects that are in the making at the present. MRS. H. C. VINSON B.S. East Carolina College Librarian MRS. EDNA EARLE ADAMS B.S. Atlantic Christian College Art Art High School Art Class meets the fourth period each day. It is here that students develop basic skills in drawing and paint- ing, color composition, design and sketching. Students, under the direction of Mrs. Adams, often display their paintings in attractive arrangements in school and for various special projects in town. Arranging bulletin boards and directing make-up for plays give art students an opportunity for another type of expression. Doing easily what others find difficult is talent. Buddy Hooics (seated) proves that this state- ment is true. 19
