Lynchburg, Virginia, under the Act of March 3, 1928. THE LIBRARY BOOKS
The amount of indifference with which books taken from the Library are handled has been brought very strongly to the attention of THE METEOR. Boys drawing Library books do not seem to realize that these books will eventually be read by others and that every time one of them is maltreated it causes the life of the book to be materially diminished.
The Library is run by the school at quite an expense and is kept up to a very high standard by the work of a member of the faculty. The books in the Library are placed there for the pupil's convenience and he ~hould appreciate this fact enough to take a decent amount of care for them
while they are in his possession. In study hall particularly there is a with John Bowers, Miss Jeanne Tay- Strader, B. S.

When the rain descends upon the earth a guLley appears here from constant erosion nnd makes this plot that should be green like the rest of the campus a perfect hidiosity and detractiOn to the beauty of its surroundings. Now as to my hum-

the rain from washing away the ·oil and keep the gymnasium locker room fre~ of mud which clings so doggedly to the cleats on football
