Libra ryToAcId Books
One hundred library books-
have been ordered by Miss
Wilma Johnson, librarian.
A seco^'d order- will be
placed soon.
The present order was
made possible by a balance
from the high school ren
tal fee.
The later order will come
from a state contribution
of '^5 per teacher and a
i.70 school fund matched by
the county.
Included in the present
list is a number of Eng
lish biographies, since
the library is short on

composed principally of
books of fiction.
The books are expected to
arrive before school
