Music, maestro, please! Could it be the unfinished symphony you are playing, Mr. Surplus? Toot away, kids!

S. is the library. A favorite spot to students and faculty alike, the library is in constant use throughout the day. The Hrst library, started in 1929, was a small room only big enough to hold a few students, and contained relatively few books. Moved to its present place in IQB4, the library can now accommodate many more students and pro- vides more than fifty-three hundred books for student reading. For news on world events, biographies and autobiographies of famous people, informa- tion on occupations and professions or just good fiction reading, the library is the place to go. A valuable place for free time, the library offers a useful and interesting selec- tion of books. 3 El Emma Lou Skinner, B.S., puts the morn- ing paper in its place. d Pagel3

I In the new modern artists' haven, which is composed mostly of windows, this year's art classes are kept busy working with leather, ceramics, papier-mache and linger paints. Regular classes are scheduled for ninth graders, and special periods are arranged for students who are interested in furthering their artistic ability. These advanced art classes take on the jobs of painting props for plays, making posters for dances, and constructing materials for as- semblies. It's a lot of work and lots of fun. Mrs. Ianet R. Swartz, B. S., supervises art in thc lower grades and instructs junior high and-ad- ' vanced art classes. --.ma LEFT: Poster paints and brushes occupy these seventh graders' minds ffor the minute!j.
