Zhis year’s Jndians are using new... Hymnals This year brought many new changes. The chapel hymnals changed from a paper covered book to a red bound book, “Christian Youth Hymnal.” At a special chapel service, in which each student participated, we dedicated these new hymnals to be used to glorify God at our worship services. In addition to the hymns, the books contain responsive readings which are used from time to time as part of the service. Library furniture The P.T.A. supplied us with one of the changes. They bought all new tables and chairs for the library. The furniture is very modem in blond finish and some of the tables are round while others are rectangle. This new furniture added much to the pleasant atmosphere of the library. It seems to make studying more pleasant for the students. Lab The long awaited biology lab was finally finished in time for the opening of school. The rooms were also newly furnished. The lab and class-room gave the students much more space in which to work. The equipment is even more fun to use in the newly built and furnished room. Ask any Sophomore. They’re very proud of their classrooml Singers robes The Singers also found that red suited their taste with the new robes in silver and red. The Singers presented a concert to the student body as a dedication of their new robes. This year the Singers were proud that they should be the first to wear these robes. 20

Spring days pass so quickly “The Night of January 16th” was presented by the Senior Class, on April 1st and 2nd. All were amazed by the way the students held them in suspense as to whether Karen was guilty or not. These lucky people are purl of the Spring Study program at M.A. The idea is that if you get less than six demerits during the school year, you can do as you please in the time you have study periods. This program is put to goo l use by many students each year, by taking walks in the fresh spring air, or perhaps a quick run home. Others even study a little.
