Library opens new doors with help of student staff With a collection of 20,000 books and subscriptions to about 1 1 0 periodicals, the library is useful to all students. All materials, including records and filmstrips are also growing each year. Lillian Cole supervises the library, while Ann Hoehle serves the library on a part time basis, dividing her time between Lincoln and East. The library clerk, Mary Jane Willey, is responsible for all clerical work. Miss Cole commented, Students help this year, too. One of the things that I ' m really enjoying is the student staff o, 18. Without them, this job would be a lot hard er. Checking books in and out, helping library users, and answering general questions are some of the jobs of the student staff. Each staff member is also responsible for a particular section to see that the incoming books are shelved. 1. On mime initiation day, Ruth Stafford hides out in the library. 2. The foosball table is a gathering point for experts of the game. 3. Seniors Mark Cox and Liz Frome try out the new sharpshooter ma- chine. 4. Wanda Weberg eyes a student as he tries to skip out.

DECA seeks opportunities Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) has three main goals: to provide students with a knowledge of industry and business, gain skills, acquire experience in work, and help students earn money while still in school. DECA can be divided into three parts: class, job, and the DECA club itself. The class provides the opportunities to gain knowledge and skills necessary for industry and business. The job lets students use these skills, and DECA provides the chance for personal and social development. DECA creates a posi- tive attitude, and teaches students to work with others. 1 .

New video games provide excitement Student Center is a popular place for juniors and seniors to relax. Playing games such as foosball, Gorf, pinball, Commander, and Defender is often more popular than studying. Food and music round out the relaxed atmosphere. Teachers are on duty each hour super- vising the students and taking atten- dance. Wanda Weberg said, Students are very well behaved, and I have very little trouble keeping things in order. 25
