Mrs. Virginia Algaier and Mrs. Georgia Payne joined forces with Mr. Gus Leimkuhler to organize the library's five hundred new books. Also new equipment arrived, including a video tape recorder and a cassette radio-tape recorder. New records and sound film strips were also made available to students. During Christmas vacation, the library and audio-visual room were combined to provide a more complete library facility. The remodeling involved cutting a hole in the wall of the magazine room so a door could be fitted, thus adjoining the two rooms. The library staff took over some of the responsi- bilities of the audio-visual department in order to partially alleviate the duties of Miss Sue Taylor, AV department head, whose duties were increased with the mid year loss of assistant, Mrs. Mary Pulley. ' The library provided a relaxation and gathering place in addition to a place for research. Before school and at lunch, the library oozed people, mingling, and conversing. Mrs. Bernice Ashcraft, Instructional Assistant for the English department, worked for Northtown during the first semester. Teacher cuts eliminated her job, but she continued to work on Fridays help- ing students in remedial reading. Mr. Don Duey helps his students dig out resources. Mr. Bob Bollinger and students take advantage of the library's quiet atmosphere.

9' f els tion nII english promotes novel courses Perhaps Northtown's most celebrated transition was that of the English department. Students were able to choose from a vast list of semester courses. The new curriculum was a welcome relief from traditional English classes at Northtown. Shakespearean classes were extremely active with trips to the Missouri Repertory Theater to view the play Measure for Measure and to the Nelson Art Gallery to see a display of Elizabethan art. Science Fiction students undertook many projects to broaden their view of the unknown. Extensive examination of unidentified flying objects and the construction ofa laser were just a few of the multifarious ideas Science Fiction students covered. Other courses available to students included Composition I, II, and III,' American Literature, English Literature, Short Stories, and Mythology. Interested students also excelled in Creative Writing, American Folklore, and Existentialism. Paul Wonderly and Alexis Broadbent listen attentively to Miss Mc- Clintock's English Literature.
