In short they learn the art of the arts. TACKY CLASH HOP, sponsored by the Art Club, sparked enthusiasm during the basketball season.

LIBRARY GFFERS Gooo BOOKS, QUIET NooK TO STUDENTS ' WANTED: MORE BOOKS-reference books, biog- raphies, plays and good 'ole' fiction. The library here at Chamberlain is on the track of some new books. These books, about two thousand in number, shouldn't hide out much longer because of the spe- cial appropriations which the county makes. As in the past years, they will surely be captured soon and will provide the school with twice the number .of books that were available in the fall of 1956. A new section of the library has been growing this year: a section of pictures-illustrations and copies of famous paintings and other subjects useful to study. These are kept in the map cabinet and are covered with clear plastic for lasting protection. A picture is worth a thousand words and is more inter- esting, too. Chamberlain is certainly proud of her fast-growing storehouse of knowledge.

This organization, the Saturday Niters, is sponsored by the department and encourages the participation of members of the community as well as the students in the school. Om' Town, Pygmalion, Bell, Book, anal Candle, and three one-act plays, The Valiant, The Dear Departed, and The Natives Are Restless Tonight, are some of their presentations.
