Library Staff Had Busy Month
The staff of the Newton County
High School Library in many ways
proved its worth during the month
of January because we had a re
cord attendance for the year, and
a large part of the staff was out
of school because of illness.
A total of 6,697 students used
the library and 1417 books were
checked out. The largest single
day was on Jan. 30 when 103
books were checked out and 428
students used the library. As
reguards our book circulation
there were 668 Non-Fiction books
and 749 Fiction books checked
out during the month. The
Library staff certainly did more
than its share in providing ser
vice for the students and faculty
in view of the fact that many mem
bers of the staff worked more than
one period each day.
The Library is happy to an
nounce that we have new magazine
binders for our periodicals,
which was made possible by gifts
from High School Clubs and as
authorization from Mr. Richard
son with which this project was
completed. The cost of this pro-

Special Notice
To Easter Seal
Campaign Chmn.
All co-workers in the Easter
Seal Fund Drive, for Crip
pled Children and Adults will
meet at 7:30 on Thursday evening,
(tonight) at the Court Room, in
the City Hall, where plans will
be completed for the 1969 Easter
Seal Drive.
All members of committees,
who can attend, are urged to do
so, in order that they may ask
questions, and get the final plans
clearly in their minds as to the
When, What, and Why of this
great Christian move. Then they
can give their best in service,
not only to the unfortunate ones
who are maimed, and need our
care, but this is a work, we are
sure, that the Heavenly Father
will bless and help prosper.
“Unto the least of these,” He
said, “Unto Me.” And that does
mean those who are lame, crip
pled or in need of help.
Civitan Club Has
Members As Guests

held their regular meeting

ject was $143.85.
We are happy to welcome to our
staff Don Underwood who recently
arrived at Newton County High
and who has already made him
self at home in the Library.
The Library this year from
Local, State, and Federal funds
has added a total of 741 books,
giving us a total of approximately
9,400 books.
Kathy Joan Brooks has been
named as the Library Club re
presentative on the Newton
County High School Student
Council to replace Mary Hend
erson who had to resign. We
appreciate the spirit of coopera
tion as reguards to this matter.
We regret to lose the services
of diehard Henderson from the
staff and club who did a quietly
efficient job each day and was
almost never absent.
We are happy to have Sylvia
Moon back on the staff to re
place Donna Faye Aaron while
she was ill. Also we’d like to
announce Pamale Forrester as
the new historian taking Donna
Faye’s place who had been out
because of sickness.
