Dramatics SPEAK FOR YOUR- SELF, JOAN Speak for Yourself, Joan , was the Junior class play pro- duce-:1 by the class of 1936 and coached by Miss Ruth Ellen Morrison. A very humorous situation developed when two engaged boys fCarroll and Juniorb became interested in Jeannette and aroused Paul- ine and Edwlna to green-eyed jealousy, while Joe was won- dering what it was all about. But as usual the plot was :lis- covered, land it ended happily. HERE COMES PATRICIA Here Comes Patricia , pre- sented by the class of 1937, under the direction of Miss 'Morrison was aided by the new stage set built by the Student Council and first pre- sented to the public on this occasion. The interest centered around Jerre and Helen who were in a jam with Jerre's employer, Fred. Helen set- tled everything, but not peace- fully. UROSAMUNDEH Rosamunde , presented by the choruses clases and di- rected by Mr. Ralph Rea and Miss Ruth Lytle was the out- standing yperforrnance of the .school year. It bears the dis- tinction of being the first opera to be presented in Rocky Ford, rand the school cast 'did excellent work. The production was staged in the New Grand Theater, and a very full house enjoyed especially the songs of Eliza- beth, as Rosarnunde, and the chorus selections of the .shep- herds, Mr. Rea and Miss Lytle deserve special mention for the remarkable results their patience Won them in their work with the produc- tion of Rosarnunde.

LITERARY LIBRARY FOR LEISURE Our school library, which serves ia bodiy of 550 students, is made up of a library room and study hall. Sixteen .senior high scihool girls are active on the student library staff this year. Student library staff is as follows: Marjorie Conardi Hisako Kubo Betty Nishimura. Mildred Fuller Ione Kitzman Henrietta Reifschneider Betty Harada Esther Anna Lynch Ingleeta. Reifschneider Lois Harwood Vina Merrifield Lucy Taguchi Georgia Hough Mabel lMi1es Helen Tiaylor Staff meetings are held each week. The student assistants, while receiving a valuable training, are able to render a service to the school. The Shigh school library has about 5,000 volumes, 44 periodicals, 4 Weekly ziiews- papers, and one daily newspaper. 'Literature is What Literature Does. A high ,school library is as valuable as the service which it renvdiers. One of the most important functions is to provide a pleasant, wholesome atmos- phere where students may enjoy spending their leisure time. Students are asking, How -shlall I .spend myy leisure time? It -is not only 'important that rwihile we are in school we spend our leisure time in a profitable, happy manner, but we have many years ahead, years in which the investment of time will be a major problem, our jobs will consume a good share of our attention, but we need recreation. To relax and develop ones spare time, there is no better place than the library. New and up-to-date books are being added to our library. Many devices are being used in our own library to adld to the mental cupboarvds of the sftudentsg for example, giving plays, writing stories, book reviews, assembly programs, etc. The aim of our library is 'to develop a freedom in self direction, land with its variety of possible activities there is a rich opportunity for .such development. Education is not how much you know, but how much you can find out in the library. The library in the modern school is the central ipoint from which stufdy activity should radiate. By spending leisure time in reading, a student :will discover the power of a good book, by doing this he will become capable of choosing for himself what he shlall believe and do. The hope of the world is in education, the hope of education is in the library. LEISURE TIME A theme on leisure I was to write, For my English Class. So I will tell you In this rhyme The way I spend my leisure time. On a 'horse I 'could spend hours Riding here and there, And hiking over mountain sides, Is quite the thing for good fresh air. Some folks like to sit and read, And spend their time indoors, But I like to be outside, In 1Mother Natures great outdoors. So to you my friends, May I suggest To use your leisure wisely, And I am sure that you will find This great outdoors a thing quite fine. -Fern Erickson Page N inety
