The library is the school's instructional center which houses not only printed material but also audio-visual supplies and equipment. It is also a laboratory for students enrolled in Library Science. Librarians aid students with problems of study, research or pleasure reading. They also serve as resource personnel for teachers and assist teachers with units on library usage. The Materials Center, an appendix of the library is the busiest area of the school. It is the dispensary for all material and equipment as well as the leaming center for student projectionists.

Several Career Workshops To aid students in communicating more effectively, two courses were added to the offerings of the English Department: Speech and Vocabulary. Under the skillful direction of their teachers, students were able to enhance their daily oral and written expression through their efforts in various contests. The Veterans of Foreign Wars' Voice of Democracy and the North Shore Optimists' Oratorical Contest won by Fred Mlliams and Michael Seymour, respectively, challenged students' speaking prowess. Their writing skills were displayed in the How to Make Miami More Beautifull' and the Advertising Essay Contests. Again Northwestern boasted winners: Worrington Stewart for offering beauty tips for Miami and Clive Bridges for making advertising important to democracy. The crowning feature of this year's language arts program was the 3rd edition of the annual literary anthology, HORIZONS UNLIMITED. A collection of poems essays, and short stories, the anthology provides opportunities for budding writers to experiment with creative themes. MRS. LOIS H. OLIVER B.A., English 9 MRS.
