Lyon HAS vuuUrIuuueu vast number
of Saturday Evening Posts and
and Literary Digests. These will be
very helpful to the literary debat-
ors who often have to discuss po-
litical topics. If anybody wants to
help the school in any way let them
contribute something to the library
for we need much larger one than
we have at present. Should you
have two books alike or possibly
two sets alike be kind enough to
place one of them in the school
library.
If you don't know the definition
of word just come over to the
school and we will gladly let you
use our new Webster's dictionary.
1t contains $500 pages giving every
possible derivation. meaning and
