All the known world, excepting only savage na- tions, is governed by books. -VOLTAIRE Is it not natural then that the library is coming to be considered more and more by educators as the center of the modern school? Webster deines it in part as a collection of books and pamphlets kept for study or reading. We hope you have found it more than that. At Southeast the library reflects the activities and assignments of every classroom from shop Work to history. It supplements, aids, and abets both teacher and student in preparation of lesson or thesis. This last year has challenged us to keep abreast of the latest developments in science, medi- cine, race problems, and international affairs. In addition, We have tried to supply you with recrea- tional reading, both enriching and entertaining. The room itself, with the sun streaming through southern Windows all day and the soft colors of murals depicting scenes from Mark TWain's books, will be symbolic, we hope, of the light and color books will bring to your future lives. In proportion as society refines, new books must ever become more necessary. -GOLDSMITH OFFICE ASSISTANTS 18 4-,.-Q.-npvasam-p:::.:.,, - .
