She turned and walked out. Then suddenly real- izing what had to be done, she once again entered the library. Not knowing the orga- nizational classifica- tion system provided bythe Marcos de Niza Knowledge turned away. Eventu- ally, she headed to the information desk ready to plead for help. As always, li- brarians Sheila Wal- rath, Pat Whatley, and their crew were there to help. She was giv- en the grand tour of everything from ency- clopedias and other reference materials to audio-visual equip- ment and finally, ev- ery-day reading mate- rials, along with help- ful hints of when and how to use each. Soon, she finds that she has more than enough information gathered to complete the report. She leaves, relieved and satisfied. library, she again Shhh . . .

Although few stu- dents think of teachers as actually doing any- thing but giving lectures and grading papers, they had full lives beyond the doors of the school. While some spent their free time pursuing hob- bies, several teachers also spent extra time at school while not in the classroom.

Despite the extra work involved, teachers devoted themselves to the spirit of the school even outside the class- room. Faculty ' 183

With the opening of the new auditorium in spring, school drama produc- tions will be able to han- dle a much-larger cast, a more technical set and involve more students than has previously been possible. 'The depart- ment is directed by Mrs. Shari Mecham, a two- year teacher at MdN. Mrs. Mecham came to this school last year as an English teacher, and advanced to the head of the Drama Department.

Mrs. Mecham's speech and drama club members have been do- ing very well in forensic competitions and hope for the spring season to be even more success- ful.
