Cover GirIsfGathered around Mr. Bookworm in their book-cover skirts are the ushers for the talk by Mrs. Lillian Budd, author of April Snow, sponsored by the librarian, library sci- ence, and English classes during book week. They are Sandra Feyereisen, Charlyn Phillips, Lucinda Elder, and Peggy DeVore. Mastering the English language is considered the most difficult task in school by many stu- dents. We all learned, however, that language is the world's greatest tool of communication, and that with a better knowledge of English we could secure good jobs, prepare for college, speak, read, write, think, and listen to people with greater understanding. Through the work in English we learned to express ourselves ENGLISH Ralph E. Blackman Ruth E. Brinkmann William R. Contrall Josephine S. Dingel Lucile Jenks Myrtle Nelson clearly and creatively, The work done in the English department was also reflected in all of the other classes.

Doing class projects and bringing menus, letters, clothing, and coins from other nations into the class' room aided in learning the languages.

In the earlier elementary courses students learned the practical uses ot math in the terms of everyday lite. In the more advanced classes math was built up to its more specialized functions in tields ot engineering, science, architecture, and economics.
