B ROUSING AROUN i-J. . In +-.1 ne E0J.3. y\./\TZ Hoxv is our new library coming? a recent interview MissRosser, our hard-working librarian who merits entire school's support and thanks, said that it vjould take five years to catalogue our present library, however, to date she has citalo^ued the Fiction, the Reference and the nev/ books. This is a bi;’- step in the right direction. *iiss Rosser could give few details on bhe cost, furnishings, and date of occupanc^r of the new library building. She did, however, assure me that it will be modern, comfortable, and roomy. Hiss Rosser directed the interview into a discussion of her favorite sub ject these days. This subject, as you probably know, is the library's 150 nevv books ranging from Black Rose to Chinese History. R i\ ARY On a cold rainy night, November 19 to be exact, four P. J. C. boys drove a gangrene green Hudson out to Daniels Store on the Red Springs road. Driving into the store's parking lot, "T. LI." practically had to drive up a drain pipe tp avoid being trampled by a huge 1947 Cadillac. A short, stout .lan leaped out and uttered, "Vhere iss - - but alas, his companion with her peroxided hair and covering three-fourths of the huge front seat, had the window lovrered by nov/ and assuraed direction of the inter view. Thus I assumed the companion to be the wife or "Mamma." A'lamma said, "Vhere is Laurinburg? Iss dis ^laxton? How ve get to Bennetts- ville? Ve is lost five hours nowl Ve go to Florida I" The books were bought with an accent on pleasure. The subject matter (Miss Rosser twisted my arm until I said I'd include this long list) ranges over: opera art photography plastics economics television vocations chemistry chickens pests house repair poetr^'' insects sociology history fun drauia first aid biography shop T/ork t rave1 democracy radio Christmas gardening North Carolina mus ic weather reptiles "Jorid "7ar I & II liiss Rosser reports that the most popular of the new books are: Ilamraa's Bank Account, Black Ross, Black Tion,' I/Iy Antonia, The Kobe, and Ernie P^^ie''s Brave Men. ROCK HILL HI''rH SuIIOOL BAHD VISITS P. J. C. DimiHG HO:.JDCO:..IJ!G One of South Carolines greatest high school bands, the Rock Hill High School Band, visitod P. J. C. during Homecoming und I'layod for the festivities. The sevent^^-five riccs band vso.s under the direction of Kr. Harrison, and wr.s secured for P. J. C. largely by the efforts of Dick "'arri- son. The l~axton Cafe fed t aera on their stay hero and the merc?i:\nts nr- ran.^ed for the transportation. The boys from P. J. C. rallied under strain and "S." informed mamma that Daniels Store didn't constitute the whole of the *-axton ouginoss district. "On the, contrarjr," he jaid, "liaxton has a whole block of stoires and a stop light. Speaking of stoplights, i^adame, it's straight dovm this street a few bl:icks; j/'ou turn right at this stop light and you'll hit Laurinburg even tually} there'at the^stoplight, you all must turn left and from there go to fair Bennettsville." i.ia.nma said, "Ve iss thanking you." Pappa got back in the Cadillac; and as they were driving toward downtown Maxton, Kamraa's last audible words drifted through her closing window. "Aren't dese natives ouaint?"
