EXHIBITS IN THE LIBRARY


AS this week, November 1918 is
Book Week the Library Club and mem
bers have decorated the library. The
theme this year is "Books Around the
World" We thought this a very
suitable topic this year because there
is war going on in the European coun-
tries and the need for international
understanding and friendship is felt
more keenly than ever.
AS you enter the library on the
right you see on the bulletin board
where there are letters from India,
France, Malay, and various parts of
the globe. Pupils who are interested
in corresponding with pupils in other
countries may obtain names from Miss
Jones.
The book cases have different out
standing books that will be pleasure
to read. The most interesting and
outstanding feature is the exhibit in
the show case. The case is filled
with different dolls from other coun-
tries. These dolls belong to Rebec-
ca Shockley.
Marion Dashiell, Randolph Taylor,
Anna Louise Scarborough and Avery
Gordy arranged an attractive poster
on "Books Around the World" and
Tommy Jones' "Book Caravans" fill
ed with interesting books completed
the Book Week exhibits.
LIBRARY CLUB NEWS
The Library Club met Wednesday,
November Is, during the fourth per-
iod in Miss Jones' home room. The
roll was called, the minutes of the last
meeting were read, and the treasurer's
report was given. Rosemary Cord
dry, chairman of the fugitive mater
ial committee, asked that the club
members assist in collecting pictures
and other material for the vertical
file. This material may be borrow
ed for use in the various classes. Any
pamphlets, pictures, or clippings that
will be useful to the different classes
may be given to Rosemary Corddry,
Margaret Holloway, or Mildred Shock
ley.
No further business was discussed
as this was the day for program
to be given.
A short play, written by Mary Alice
Wimbrow and Shirley Townsend, was
given. The play was in the form of
a mock trial charging several per-
sons for common faults found in every
library. Those participating were:
Shirley Townsend, Judge; Mary
Alice Wimbrow, Prosecutor; Maude
Adams, Miss Read-them All; Ran
dolph Taylor, Mr.. Know-them All;
Anna P. Haubert, Madam Reader;
Harriet Cherrix, Miss Waggle-tongue
Thomas Jones, Henry Stick-In-Mud;
William Hancock, Mr.. Careless.
A very interesting talk on Book
Week was given by Fowler Getting
ham.
Miss Jones taught us how to pre-
pare new books for circulation. Sew
eral club members volunteered to stay
after school to assist Miss Jones in
getting the new books ready for cir
culation. The club adjourned to meet
again on November 20 when movie
will be shown.
