Library stimulates research and stud J. RAY SCARBOROUGH is Green- wood's librarian. He received his BS from SMS and his MA from Missouri University. All the students at this Study Hall table seem to be concentrating very hard on their assignments, but you never know, appearances are some- times deceiving. Yes, that's the one! exclaims Bill Sanford to Mr. Scar- borough after searching in vain for an assigned reading book. Library students found a quiet atmosphere conducive to study and research or to leisurely reading in Greenwood's Library. The library, being continually enlarged, has over 4,100 books and 45 volumes of magazines which are available to students of every grade. Due to the expert advice and aid of our li- brarian, Mr. Scarborough, time spent search- ing for books was greatly reduced. Study hall also helped students to lessen the amount of homework taken home each night. ' Study hall seats were again assigned to make the library more orderly as well as a better place to Work. ln this way, each Greenwood student was given equal opportunity to discover for himself the pleasure and knowledge ac- quired frorn reading and study.

Long vocabulary lists are challenging to seventh graders Mary Kay Hawkins and Sharon Savage. Gigi Taylor dictates as they check their knowledge. English, and Latin An understanding of the English language is essential for all successful Greenwood stu- dents. Through emphasis on grammar, written and oral composition, and literature, this knowl- edge was obtained. English was required in three junior high courses, including eighth grade Latin-English, and in two senior high classes. Senior English, speech, Latin I, and Caesar were electives. Reading skills on every grade level were devel- oped through a newly initiated reading labora- tory. Senior English presented advanced English literature. Public speaking, dramatics, and com- munication improvement were offered in speech. Latin, the basis of all languages, proved worth- while in the understanding and derivation of English words. Latin l is a fascinating course for freshmen Susie Frey and Ann Wilson, but, as they discovered, it does require work to complete reports on time.
