Library Tables, Books Ready Now “Pearsall, when are we going to get some tables in here?” is a question that Miss Pearsall, the school librarian, will not have to answer any longer with her, “I haven’t the slightest idea!” The library now has its tables. A type of shelf that can be ad justed to any width or heighth is also found in the new library. Due to the fact that there isn’t enough space for the books. Miss Pearsall has, ordered an extra shelf to go across the back of the library for the special reserved books. The librSirian is also hoping to have a catalog cabinet placed in the I’oora for the convenience of the stu dents. Fourteen books have been do nated by the classes of the late Fritz Cronenberg in his memory. The art class is having a special book plate i\iade for the library. After they have a hundred book stickers printed, the plate will be given to Miss Pearsall so that she can have them made when other groups give books to bs put on the special shelf. — ■ a 1C* * . ¥/• .

The students use this room when writing their senior themes. Here they can work and concentrate in complete quietness without being bothered by others. The librarian’s desk, in bland wood to match the tables and chairs, is at the north end of the library. In three sections, it has ample room for materials needed. Miss Pearsall’s “helpei-s” find everything conveniently placed. r Photo by Barringer WALKER.ROSS Printing Co, “Wliere Quality Printing Is A Habit” Rocky Mount, N. C.

Black, has been a busy team. October has been an es pecially busy month for it. During this, time, it played for all the football '^ames, the Nashville har vest festival, and the parade for the returned prisoners of war. At the first performance during the half at the Greensboro game on October 2, the band formed a wheel and plajed “Wheel of For tune.”'In Wilmington, it did the Bunn.v Hop an;.] the square dance. This was repeated at the Fayette ville game. In the game with Washington, the band formed a rainbow and played “Over tlie Rainbow.” It al so played a game of Tic-tac-toe which Rocky Mount won. At the Durham game last Friday, the band formed a heart for the Cam- ptis Sweetheart and an A for the alumni. The band performs on, similar occasions every year. They are not paid for these services, but the students donate their time and ef forts to make the games and parades enjoyable for everyone. “How are you doing with your Senior themes?” Seniors who are taking 12B first semester were asked this very appropriate ques tion last week.
