So is it true of the math lab which has been furnished with electric calculators and a small computer. The business department also has new electric typewriters and other apparatus making this course more interesting and useful in the future. Each section has a conference room to be used for seminars, group discussions, or teachers' meetings. In addition there is a general large group room capable of seating one class. This room also lends itself well to group teaching, lectures, films, and discus- sions and is a vital part of the new academic atmosphere. The library is a truly impressive part of the school. It is equipped with a general read- ing section, study cubicles for more privacy, and other added facilities. The book ca- pacity is twelve thousand volumes, more than sufficient for the projectedschool popula- tion of eighteen hundred students. The tapes and films supplied by the audio-visual de- partment have been catalogued like books to facilitate general school use. The athletic department has been furnished with a huge, beautiful gym with partitions to divide the floor space into sections according to the needs of various activities. The playing fields are surely adequate for the highest attendance at the school. There are two baseball fields, a track, a football held, and tennis courts to provide recreation areas not only for the students but also for the town as a whole. ln all, the new Andover High School has made available to all future students the chance for a Worthwhile education through ultra-modern facilities and new curriculum plans. Yet, to make this knowledge attainable is all the teachers can do and the deeper research and tetainment of facts is left to the student. With the almost unlimited pos- sibilities of successful learning in this school, does it not seem only reasonable that stu- dents capitalize on them? The students who spent the first semester of 1968 in the school exhibited their ability to adjust easily to a different environment and their eagerness to learn and thus to suc- ceed.
