LIBRARY CFFERS EXTENSIVE READING An enlarged school library has served this year as an impetus to the study M history, Latin, and English. Excavating the ruins of the ancients, discussing the settlement of strikes and problems of young America, and preparing projects of the his- tory of communication and transportation with Miss Gross have interested the soph- omore World History and junior American History students. Caesar's famous words, Veni, vidi, vici, have made the ever help- ful and sympathetic instructor, Mrs. Urch, sigh and wish that more students would follow this advice in her Latin classes. Un- derclassmen spend two years in the study of English grammar and literature under Miss Martin's guidance. Original draw- ings, puppets, miniature combat fields and guillotines indicate student interest in class- ics written by Scott, Dickens, and Shake- speare. Page Fourteen

NEW QUARTERS AID SCIENTISTS Many enjoyable, profitable. and exciting hours have been spent in science and agri- culture classes. The physics department under the supervision of Mr. Ross has been most fortunate in securing the new, ade- quately equipped physics laboratory. Biol- ogy was very popular with the sophomores who enjoyed constructing aquariums, pre- paring collections of specimens, and study- ing birds. This year a full time agriculture course was added to the curriculum With Mr. Pershing the instructor. Future carp- enters and cabinet makers tested their man- ual skill in sawing wood and driving nails in the up-to-date shop. When Mr. Persh- ing, a member of the State Legislature, had to be in Harrisburg from January until May, Mr. Godshall, a Penn State student, ably taught agriculture and a freshman general science class.
