Variety of Valuable Books
By Marianne Boyd
After Bebe asked me to write an
article on the books in the library
that are considered to be of the
most value, I began to think about
the meaning of “valuable books.”
I decided that the most valuable
books should be those that are of
value not only for intellectual
knowledge but also for interest and
enjoyment. Miss Cooper, the lib
rarian, gave me a list of books she
considered to be the most valuable.
The first book considered as
the most valuable is the United
Nations Yearbook. I found this
book in the research room. This
yearbook, which is published by
the United Nations Publications,
recounts in detail the activities of
the United Nations and its agen
cies for the year 1953, the problems
facing them, and the efforts to
meet those problems by the mem
ber nations. If you ever want to
catch up on current events in the
year 1953, or if you are interested
in the past activities of the United
Nations, this is an excellent refer
ence.
Another book that is considered
valuable is the Interpreter’s Bible,
published by Harper’s. Bible
students have probably used at
least one of these ten volumes in
their reports. The volumes con
tain the scriptures printed at the
top of the page and the known
interpretation of almost every verse
or chapters at the bottom of the
page.
From the reference room I went
into Miss Cooper’s office where
she showed me the next three
books. She said that these books
would be put out for use within
the next week or two.
One of the books was the North
Carolina Almanac and State In
dustrial Guide for 1954-55. This
book, which has just been published
by the Almanac Publishing Com
pany in Raleigh, is a reference
book on subjects related to the
Ensemble Will Sing
The Choral Ensemble will pre
sent musical programs at two local
churches Sunday, February 6. At
5 p.m. they will sing at Trinity
Moravian Church, and at 7:30 p.m.
the same program will be presented
at Advent Moravian Church. The
group will be guests of Advent
Church for supper.
The program will include eight
selections from early period music,
spirituals, and modern anthems.
Soloists at the 5 o’clock service
will be Lynn Hamrick and Peggy
Daniel; Ernestine Kapp and Den-
yse McLawhorn will sing solos at
the 7 o’clock service.
A violin solo by Suzanne Gordon
and special music by a double
quartette will be featured at both
services. The Reverend Edwin
Sawyer, college chaplain, will be
the speaker.

lists in detail such subjects as the
manufacturing agents in North
Carolina, ' historical markers and
the kinds of trees found in this
i state. If you ever want to know
I about these, consult this book,
j Another book considered to be
valuable is the recent edition of
Grove’s Dictionary of Music and
Musicians. This dictionary, which
is in nine volumes, was published
by the MacMillan Company and
was edited by Eric Boom. It gives
in a brief summary the life of
well-known musicians and informa
tion on all matters directly and in
directly connected with music. This
is an excellent reference for music
majors.
The Works of Ben Jonson is
also considered to be the most
valuable. These volumes have just
been received by the library, Jon-
son’s literary record, which con
tains eleven volumes, should be
useful to many English majors as
well as many who admire Jonson.
Our library has many more books
that are equally valuable to each
of us. These five books are only
a few of the valuable books in our
library waiting for us to read and
enjoy.
