 tion.
 Not only those who at present have sons or daughters at the high school, but also those who have at some time
 in the past had pupils there or ex- pect to have their children there ill the near future and, in addition, all people who have at heart the proper moulding of the thoughts and emo- tions of our youth and appreciate the
 tremendous power of good books in determining their characters and
 achievements, are requested to bring or send carefully selected book to the high school library next Monday. A list of approved books will be post ed at Dewoody's, Rosenberg's and Mann-Tankersley's and the clerks wilt assist the customers in choosing.
