We!!-rrjzz Qvprd library ,vrrrrrrrrfrs learning. Greenwood is most fortunate to have a large and convenient library which supplies each student with information concerning the use of different types of books, Reference books are available to students at all times and so are many other interesting books and magazines. During the past year, many new books were added to the library to increase the knowl- edge and interest of the students. These books prove very useful as sources of information. XVith the guidance of Mr. Scarborough, students are able to use the library quickly and efficiently. The time in study hall is always appreciated by the students, for there is always something to ac- complish. Well-I never would have thought to look there! says jack Parker to Mr. Scarborough. I can't find it! is an oft-heard wail in the Greenwood study hall, and in Mr. Scarborough the bewildered student finds a helping hand. Sometimes IT even seems to elude him.

current - i af imparfancc in friday is youth. GEORGIA MCKNIGHT, Co-supervisor of the History Department, graduated from SMS with a BS degree in Education. She is co-sponsor of the Ninth grade. Studies of past events in order to analyze more readily the events of today were undertaken in Greenwood's social studies classes. Every phase of history, government, and world happenings of the past and present were covered in Civics, World History, American History, and American Prob- lems. In addition to regular textbook instruction, the classes were made much more interesting and ef- fective through the use of movies, slides, guest speakers, and field trips. Among the most interest- ing field trips made by a class were a trip to the Springfield Court House to hear a trial and a trip to jefferson City to visit the state capitol and other state offices and buildings. It is through this study of our own nation and the rest of the world that we learn to build our present and future on the happenings of the past.
