Cafeteria, to Feed Hungry Students MRS. H. G. HAIRS- TON. Yazoo Public School Dietician. MRS. ROSA HARRI- SON, Manager of Cafeteria. MRS. L. O. HILL MRS. J. T. KETCHUM MR. O. C. SHANNON Maintenance Supervisor No, No! Bob, only two rolls per person. Just because you're a growing boy doesn't give you special privileges. I know Mrs. Hairston, but they're so good. The staff in the YHS cafeteria has prided themselves in their excellent cooking, and the students at YHS have realized how lucky they are. The fact that excellent food was prepared for the students in the cafeteria at YHS was proved by the long lunch lines every day at noon! After sniffing noses caught the pleasing odor of homemade biscuits, students raced to the lunch line. Not only was the food appetizing, but it was a nutritious, balanced diet. Mr. O. A. Shannon, Maintenance Supervisor, kept YHS in good condition, despite the punishment her 660 occupants gave her. Whenever a pipe burst, a door hung, a light went out, or a locker got stuck, Mr. Shannon was there with his tool-box to repair the damages. Wonder what my fortune cooky says,” muses Perry Hisaw. These boys consume food like vacuum cleaners. Who wouldn't after a hard morning sitting in a school desk using your brain? After all, that’s hard work for most stu- dents. 27

Library, Center of Cultural Activities MRS. MARY EMMA SMITH, Librarian; B.A., MSCW, M S. La. State Univ. Li’I Abner gets himself into the biggest messes, grins Tommy Phillips, who is involved daily in the comic strip. In ad- dition to the daily newspapers from Jackson and Memphis, the library pro- vides the reader with the Yazoo City Herald, and the school paper. Copies of popular and informing magazines are also offered for the interested student. Hum, such a quiet, studious atmosphere, so conducive to study. Something must be up though. Do I detect a slight ex- pression of mischief on Charles' face?” Equipped with the best reference books, card catalogue, and reading materials, the library' at YHS offered an atmosphere conducive to study. Student librarians were busy helping other students find a reference book or novel, when Mrs. Smith wasn’t available. They also helped by checking out and putting up books. Sometimes the library was the place for a social gather- ing rather than a quiet meditative place of study and learning. Seniors were the first to claim the conference rooms and the last to leave it. Dearest memories of YHS will be those of the library. Let's get this one,” yells Fran Cooper as she models one of the many robes which Seniors may choose for gradua- tion. The library is one of the large rooms which Seniors use for their class meetings. 26
