attractive posters made by Miss Ben
sons and Miss MortOn's classes were
displayed Helen Mustian and Mar
iorie Register, library council mem
bers. made four labels to identity
such shelves as North Carolina,
Safety. Vacations, and Parent-Teach-
er. Bulletin board displays concerned
Book Week and the Red Cross. Sew
eral new books were displayed IN
the library. Many Of the library
council went to all the home rooms
on Thursday during activity period
and made talks about books and
about the school library in partlcu-
lar.
Last week report cards went out.
Students paid several dollars IN
fines, and the money will go back
into the library for new books and
for purchasing small supplies need
ed. Students, however, are urged to
watch the date due stamp in books
and return them within seven days
or return them on time for renewal.
It would be much better for students
to return books on time and thus
keep the books circulating among
more students.
The library council suggested Civ
ing a Thanksgiving basket this year.
Marjorie Register was appointed
chairman of the committee to make
it and to assemble materials for it..
Every member promised to contri-
butte her bit.
Next week North Carolina Thanks
giving will be observed. The library
council will have a short debate on
the following query: Resolved, that
President Roosevelt has the right to
change Thanksgiving date. On the
affirmative are Marjorie Register
and Mildred Whitley; negative, Stamo

Zapantis and Florence Shaw.
The following are in charge OF the
desk for this quarter:
First period, Esther Wood and
Josephine Stokes, alternate; second
period, Ernestne Smith and Kenneth
oauls, alternate; third period Gladys
ReamS; fourth period, Florence
Shaw; fifth period, Marjorie Roy
ster; sixth period, Mildred Whitley.
These students, except Josephine
Stokes and Kenneth Sauls, are mem
bers Of the library council. A change
is made every quarter, giving each
council member the experience Of
keeping the desk some time during
the year. Keeping the desk requires
accurate work and courteous man
ner with students. The students who
kept the desk the first quarter show
ed their ability to manage it in an
efficient way.
An interesting book display in the
library this week is one put on by
Clyde Register, student in nigh
school, He has on exhibit several
books that are said to be very val
liable, and that date back to the days
of Mary Ball and George Washing
ton. The Williamsburg Foundation
has tried to buy one of them to use
in the restored collection Of Will
liamspurg, Virginia. Anyone VINO
wishes to see these interesting books
may, do SO by coming to the high
school library any time from to
1910 or 80 to during this week.

This Is a new Roosevelt and one

something mighty close to rampant
in this choice item which bears the
engaging subtitle. THE Dark Deed
Done in the Wood"
Many melodramas are content
with one dastardly villain or at least
with one type of villainy, repre-
sented by one blackguard and some
assistant blackguards. But not "Au-
rora Floyd" This heroine Of the
dramatization of Mary Elizabeth
Braddon's sensational novel of the
SOS must cope with as fine a variety
Of assorted villainy as ever you saw.
First, there's the villain who really
bears the heroine no ill-will, but
merely wants to blackmail her for
as much money as possible. This is
Aurora's first husband. Then there's
the false friend type of villainy, per-
petrated by the woman companion
who feels Aurora is not treating her
with the proper respect, hence vim
dictively tries to ruin the gals repu-
tation. Then there's a fellow whose
villainy is unprecedented, sort of
third degree villainy, as 1t were, but
who costs poor Aurora some cash for
a pay-off anyhow.
But none of these comparably
mildly evil citizens can touch THE
Softy," a lad described by the author
as supposed to be a half-witted
harmless rustic, but in reality,
crafty, cunning and revengeful." He

she horsewhips him for kicking her

he wants her to pay for a murder
he has committed.
