N, I Books for enjoyment, research, and learning are available in the library Books are a fundamental source of knowledge, and as such are very valuable to the student. The student's education should extend past the classroom and the books used in his courses, it should extend to outside reading and study. Books also can provide relaxation and enjoyment. For that purpose, the libraries were established. The Main Library is the largest. In it are contained the general reference works that the student may find himself in need of during the course of the year. A large selection of fiction and non-fiction works are also available. The periodical department makes available to the student past and current magazine issues. Paperback department. Various displays are put up bi-monthly to inform and interest the student in liter- ary activity. There is an information file containing career and college material ready for student investigation. The other library is the Science-Technology Library. Though smaller in size than the Main Library, the Science-Tech library condenses the vast fields of science and techologyinto an excell- ent research and reference facility. Cordon Tech's philosophy of putting science to practise is co-ordinated and developed here. -3-en.an..I fn l Fran!

The value of history is often disputed, but the influences which have affected the present also affect us, and thus, are personally worthy of study. The events studied in American and World History, therefore, provide valuable information for understanding the present state of affairs. Civics shows the student the workings of the American democratic system of government. It gives the student infor- mation he will need in later life, information about his duties as well as his rights asa citizen. It tells him how the govern- ment functions and how it influences him. Sociology teaches the student about the ways and mech- anics of society and the function ofthe individual in society. Economics deals with the workings of our financial sys- tem. The student is informed of the manner in which cost is determined, the use of credit, and the purpose and trans- actions of the stock market. Imaginary situations are en- visioned and dealt with to illustrate the principals taught. V. li 4. ,Q wut X Uptact '-...N Mr. Sefick illustrates his world history lecture by using one of the maps.
