Library MRS. MARY EMMA SMITH Librarian B.A.. M.S.C.W. The Library is one of the most important and fre- quented rooms in YHS. Each day a steady stream of inquisitive students pour through its doors in search of an answer. At hand is an extensive collection of all materials needed for essays, term papers, speeches, and themes. “Scarlet O’Hara, you were great! Tom and Huck, you were clever too.” The library club entertained the student body with a play about familiar books during National Book Week. “Keep looking, you’ll find it. The reserve books, kept behind the desk are always being used by ambitious English and History students. “Oh, these books are heavy,” moans Harriet Collins as she mounts the steps to Rick’s Memorial Library. Many hours are spent here looking and gathering much needed informa- tion for school papers. “Before I start on this American Heritage, I think I’ll read the funnies,” muses Dianne Hassin as she finds enjoyment from the material available in the YHS library. 26

Hobbies Could the dancers in this chorus line be our teachers? On Thursday nights Mrs. Lester and Mrs. Roberds put aside all school work and concentrate on a bridge game. It’s no secret that these darling grandchildren find them- selves in Mrs. Williams’ company whenever she has a minute to spare. To help show you students that our teachers are not a separate species but are human beings with interests and pleasures like you yourselves, we are presenting a page which we devoted to the outside activities of our beloved teachers. Since the ’63-’64 school term was the first experience with practice teachers for YHS, our veteran teachers took their first well deserved rest. Practice teachers Dotty Akin, Billie Fay Maddux, Bill Albert, Marlin Del- lenger, Scott HemLeBen, and George Bolton seemed to enjoy their ex- perience. Out on the farm, Mrs. Smith rates first place as a pitcher. 28
