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

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.

Gordon Blenderman John Carle Classes are varied in social sciences Every year students are becoming more aware of world problems in the social science department. Along with the required history, government, and economics courses, students may seek out other areas of interest such as sociology, psychology, and current issues. International Relations and Emerging Na- tions are courses which deal with a deeper study of the nation ' s welfare. This department equips students with knowledge from which they will benefit throughout their lives.
