lvl-E-D-I-A C-EQNQT-E-R Library adds computers The library is recognized by many for more than just a place to check out books. Newton High School's library made a new addition of a computer room last year. The room consisted of only two computers and now has expanded to six. Jan Saab worked part-time as a resource person who helped students with questions or helped find material. Students and teachers used this room in a variety of ways. Students learned word pro- cessing and several different graphic pro- grams. Drill disks were available for all for- eign languages taught at NHS and in English usage. Many students used the computers for pre- paration for ACT and SAT exams. Teachers prepared lessons, exams, figured grades, and assigned students to use program disks for their course of study. Hutchinson High School libraries made a survey of other Kansas high school libraries in 31 geographical diverse high schools in Kansas, each with over 500 students. Newton High School ranked second in book circulation of volumes per students and ranked third in the number of books per student of the schools surveyed. ...NN ...,....,,,K The library is a good place to relax.

W'-v Every year for the past seven years the foreign language students, parents and teachers have had a banquet with foods like quiche, crepes, tacos, enchilada, die Schwarzwalderkirschtorte, and die Erdbeerbowle. Besides providing a chance to taste the foods of different countries, the banquet gave teachers an opportunity to meet parents and gave everyone a chance to get together as a social event. To plan the menu, students choose recipes from cookbooks. The food has to meet the teacher's approval. Each dish is then pre- pared by the student or his family. Even though there is no special entertainment, everyone seems to have alot of fun. The banquet is a lot of fun because there's different types of food, and you can eat till whenever, said Rosa Ramos, senior.
