Library Expanded Study Area Assists Student Work Summer had ended, school started, and the library opened its doors to the students and let them discover its recently added changes. Part of the obvious metamorphosis was the front hall- way, which had been incorporated into the library. The fiction books and the charge-out desk were moved into this area, leaving the main library for research work and reserve book reading. The magazines were moved into the main library. With 24 magazines on microfilm, an important addition to this area was the microfilm reader-printer, which gave the student a copy of the microfilm page being viewed. There were also more subtle changes, some so subtle that they weren't noticed, except for the fact that things went much smoother. The main library was divided into four resource areas, English, social studies, science and math, and art and music. Classes met in the library on many occasions to use these resources. Mr. Roger Lonning and lVlr. Eugene Hugelen, librarians, helped students greatly in locating materials. The smoothness of the library's operation was aided by secretaries Nlrs. Elinor Paulson and lVlrs. Phyllis Ham- borg, two senior girls, Susie Olson and Judy Wyant, who worked part-time diversified, and 14 students who have volunteered to work during their study halls.

.mg Physical Education Junior Gym Classes Add Swimming, Archery Physical education took on a different schedule with the addition of the junior class. The state requires one year of physical education in senior high, and, with last year's construction of the additional facilities, those sophomores were unable to have class. So this year, both juniors and sophomores took part in physical education. Many units of learning were added. Among them were swimming, golf, tennis, and archery. These were offered to juniors only, with archery being a required course. Golf and tennis were electives. The pool was finished this year, and swimming courses were given. Equipment acquired for the classes were bows for archery and plas- tic balls for the beginning golf course. ln the spring, fitness tests were administered to both junior and sophomore boys. The girls took them in the fall. These were part of the National Physical Fitness program. Joining Mr. Donald Buhr, head of the department, were Miss Lois Fagerquist, Miss Marilyn Gage, and Mr. Jerry Grade. Working together, they carried out all phas- es of physical education. PERFECT FORM is stressed in girls' physical education classes in order to obtain accuracy in archery target practice. H5- ' .

IN ACCORDANCE with the expanded library, the magazine stacks were moved into the library proper for more convenient use. THE DELIVERING OF FILMS and proj coordinated by Mr. George McCarthy. sex AV EQUIPMENT for the school district is repaired by Mr. Julian Wing. Audio-Visual Department Maps Plan For Production Center The primary project of the audio-visual department was the planning of a production center and film library. Upon completion, tentatively scheduled for next year, the center will enable teachers and interested, talented students to make audio and visual aids for the classroom. According to lVlr. George McCarthy, coordinator, this plan of the school producing its own materials would save time and helpthe classroom considerably. Ordinari- ly, an order had to be sent in to the manufacturer, and it took four to six weeks before the materials reached the instructor for use - long after it was needed for his par- ticular use. The center would make it possible for aids to be pro- duced as they would be needed. It also could prove to be more economical in the long run. Eventually, this system would be expanded to serve the entire District 241 school system. The department, formerly located next to the library, moved into different quarters across from the attend- ance office. This year they acquired a television camera, a video tape recorder and monitors, and overhead projectors, which were made available for use in each classroom.
