1941-1942 Yearbook

Smiling John Lee Dykes, head of the Math Deportment teaches interesting courses in Anolytical Geometry, Socialized Math, Plane Trig, and Calculus-not to mention the ordinary run of the mi II. Despite a full schedule of teaching he preaches almost every Sunday, directs the work of about twenty preaching students, and teaches in the teacher training course down town. He is chairman of the library committee also. Food rationing will be no pro~lem to him with his productive hobby of raising 600 chickens. He is interested in more systematic Bible and Sunday school teaching and reads much in that field, feeling sure that this work will better the world's morals. Just as the Indians were here when the pilgrims landed, so Miss Catharine Score, our librarian, was on the campus when Harding College arrived. She had been with Gallaway College for ten years and now seems like part of the library. There are 17,145 volumes charged to her meticulous care and the yearly circulation is obout 10,000. Periodicals are subscribed to which cover all departments, 115 magazines in all . Les - lie's Illustrated Newspaper from 1857-1885 is one of the library's rare possessions along with the New York Herald for April 15, 1865, reporting Lincoln's assassination. Esther Marie Clay and Morie Chunn were seniors who assisted in the library work. Knitting and reading at the same time constitutes Miss Score's unique hobby. A subtle sense of humor is Miss Score's and you will often see her with a twinkle in her eye. In her library work she is conscientious and will not rest until a lost book is found.
