The Mason County High School Speech De- partment has participated very successfully in numerous activities this year. Some of these activities, and the results, are the Re- gional Drama Festival which they won, the State Drama Festival where they won a rating of excellent, the Regional Debate Con- test in which they placed third, the Regional Speech contest in which they won first place, and the State Speech Contest where they won four superiors. In addition to these events, they gave a program at Washington School which included readings and two one-act plays— A School Bus Romance and The Case of the Crushed Petunias. At this program they introduced the MCHS Speech Chorus which is the only one in this region and one of the very few in the state on either the high school or college level. Miss Mastin's speech class has enjoyed their many activities this year. C ancjuaye ancf cSpeec 2 MRS. JEWEL WOODROOF MISS CAROLYN MASTIN

LIBRARIES ARE NOT MADE; THEY GROW. Students are not born with knowledge; they grow with understanding as they learn the proper use of the library facilities and as they read and learn to interpret the printed thoughts and deeds of men far greater than we. GOOD AS IT IS TO INHERIT A LIBRARY, IT IS BETTER TO COLLECT ONE Several organizations and interested friends have helped our collection to grow, and others are showing more interest each year. Rusty Kilgus, Johnny Hercamp, Larry Myers, Vicki Halfhill, Brenda Goodwin and Gary Tune watch as Mrs. Nash shows how to find information in the card catalogue by using an enlarged catalogue card. 16
