Our Library Work
Not having had a regular libra
rian for several years, there was
much work to be done in the
school library at the beginning of
the term. Altho we have not com
pleted all that there is to be done
still, in comparing our library as it
is now with its former condition,
we can see that a number of things
have been accomplished.
The books have been arranged in
groups according to subject,
shelves have been labeled, and
many of the books have been class
ified according to the Dewey Deci
mal System.
A few of our books already had
accession numbers in them, but
there was not an accession record.
We have started this’ record and
hope to get accession numbers in
the books that do not have them.
Book cards have been typed for
practically all of the books .or
circulation and botli pockets and
date due slips have been pasted
in them.
The name of the library is being
stamped inside the front cover of
all the books and at regular inter
vals throughout them.
A small beginning has been made
on our catalog and on sorting and
classifying pamphlets.
Much more of the work that has'
not been done, we hope to finish in
the few remaining weeks of school
In the meantime, ws hope that the
students will continue to find
much use for the books in the li
brary—not only the reference
books but also those of other types
for we agree with Emily Dickenson
when she says:
"There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any courses like a page,
Of prancing poetry.”
—Bessie McGuffin Cooper.
How Many Fish
Did Charles Catch?
Spelling Bee
Charles met his friend, James,
upon the street and told him thal
he had been fishing.
“How many did you catch?”
asked James.
Charles replied, "If to the .num
ber of the books in the Old Testa
ment you add the number of books
of the New . Testament; multiply
that by the number of apostles that
were present at the transfiguration
divide by the number of books writ
ten by Luke sybtract the number
of times the Israelites marched
around Jericho; multiply by the
number of pieces of silver Judas
received for betraying Christ; di
vide by the number of spies Moses
sent into Canaan; add the number
of letters in the name of the City
in which a man climbed up a tree
to see Christ; divide by the num
ber of apostles that were called the
"Sons of Thunder” the answer will
be the number of fish I caught.”
39 Books in Old, 26 in New, total
66 in all; 3 apostles present at
transfiguration; 3x66 equal 198;
divide by two equal 99; subtract
13 leaves 86; 30 is number of
pieces of silver Judas received; 12
spies sent to Canaan; 7 letters in
City of Jericho; two called “sons
of Thunder." Ill is number of fish
caught.
In Case of an Air Raid
1. As soon as bombs start drop
ping, run like (It doesn't
matter where).
2. Take advantage of opportuni
ties afforded when air-raid sirens
sound the warning, for example
A. If in a bakery, grab a cake or
pie or both. B. If in a tavern, grab
a bottle. C. If in a movie, grab a
blonde.
3. If you find an -unexploded
bomb, always pick it up and shake
it. (Perhaps the firing pin is stuck)
If that doesn't work, leave in in a
furnace. (The fire department will
take care of the rest).
4. If an incendiary bomb is found
burning in a building throw gaso
line on it (nothing like having a
little fun for you can't put it out
anyway.)
5. Always get excited. (It will
add to the fun and confusion and
scare the wits out of the children)
6. Drink heavily, eat onions, lim-
burger cheese, etc., before entering
a crowded shelter. (It will make
you very unpopular with the peo
pie within your immediate vicinity
eliminates any possibility of you
being crowded.)
7. If you should be a victim of a
direct hit, don't go to pieces. (Lie
down and be still, you won't be
noticed.)
8. Knock the air raid wardens
down if they start to tell you what
to do; they always save the best
seats for themselves or their
friends anyway.
—Dan Payne, Jr.
The Navy estimates that 1,600,-
000 pounds of food are required by
the Navy each holiday.
In the paragraphs which follow,
there are twenty misspelled words.
Can you pick them out and spell
them correctly? You score five
points for each misspelled word you
find. But proceed cautiously: You
lose ten points for each word you
spell incorrectly:
On an island shaped like an
isoceles triangle lived two strange
men. They had been sailors on a
schooner which had been ship
wrecked. They clung to a propeler
and finally, after drifting for three
days over that liquid dessert
called the "Qacific", had been
haply washed to a fruitful shore.
Utterly exausted, they barely had
strenth to bestir themselves to take
norishment; but after partakeing
of wild berries and fresh spring
water, they felt greatly benefited.
Then resusltate, they came to a
full realization that they were
eternally marooned. They accepted
their fate philosophically and
calmly made plans to spend the
remainder of three days in piece
and harmony.
Their paraphernalia 'was most
meager. They had no clothes but
the khaki they wore; no tools save
those chipped from stone. Yet they
managed to achieve a life of bliss.
Their days were bathed in the
rarefied and rosiate atmosphere of
good fellowship. Each acted toward
the other in a spirit of true broth
erliness. They never quarreled ;they
never upraided eacli other;, there
was no sarcasm and no railery. In
the fourty years they lived together
not a single harsh word passes be
tween them ....
They were deaf mutes.
—Harold Hart.
Puzzle
St. Patrick's Party
In a certain section of the world
there are two types of Indians—
white and red. Now, the red Indi
ans always tell the truth, and the
white Indians always tell a lie. One
day a missionary came to this part
of the world. He secured an Indian
guide. As they passed an old Indi
an sitting by the roadside, the mis
sionary asked of him, “What kind
of an Indian are you?"
The old Indian answered in such
a way that the missionary was un-
ableto understand him. Turning to
his Indian -guide the missionary
asked, “What did he say.”
The guide replied, "He said he
was a red Indian.”
Turning to an Indian who had
just joined the group, the mission
ary said, “What kind of Iindian is
my guide?"
Puzzle: What kind of an Indian
was the third Indian?
We still have this one to figure
out ourselves!
A Wise Old Proverb
Proverbs seemed to be Benjamin
Franklin's specialty, for he has
written so many that are still quot
ed today. This is a famous cld
provery or saying that I'm afraid
even Benjamin Franklin would
have trouble in living out.
Fill in a letter in the dots to
complete a word the "—” signifies
the end of a word:
.U.K. — . t — . A . D . —
-N.U.K. — .T — . O . E —
At a recent party in celebration
of St. Patrick's Day a rather in
teresting contest was held around
the word "Pat." Suppose you try
your wit on the questions:
1. What Pat loves his country?
2. What Pat is your father?
3. What Pat is sad?
4. What Pat is obtained on an
invention?
5. What Pat do you put on an old
garment
6. What Pat did you play in the
nursery?
7. What Pat teaches you how to
makp a dress?
8. What Pat condescends?
9. What Pat do you walk in?
10. What Pat does the rain
make?
“Germans Is Niggers”
This summer while Iwas visiting
in Roberta an airplane came over
announcing an auto race which was
to be held in Macon. The airplane
dropped out yellow, green, blue
and pink announcements. They
wpre very pretty glittering in the
bright sun.
Finally some of the announce
ments were obtained. There was an
old negro autie who wanted to
know what it was all about. Some
oqe read an announcement to her.
She said, "I sho’ am glad it don't
say that dem Germans is coming
over here ‘cause I'm fer ,de white
fokes and not for none ob dese
niggers.”
—Patricia Fuller.
