MRS. MARY GUM, B.S., M.S. . . . The library was the favorite Schwartz with additional information for an experiment in chem- haunt of the scholarly set . . . Reference books helped Margie istry. The library a source of materials for languages At the beginning of the school year, the freshman student thought of the library as merely a room full of books and magazines. As the year progressed he saw the library in a different view, for as the instruc¬ tor lectured on the course the library came into more use for outside readings and reports. With the help of the librarian, Mrs. Mary Gum, the student learned to use the librar ' to best advantage — not only for research but for daily assignments as well. lo the upperclassman the librar ’ had a different meaning. He had already become acquainted with the library and the location of books and magazines. The library was his destination during his free periods, and he went there with his fellow students to have a discussion in the conference room or to prepare a report. As the world changes so radically, it is important than one learns to communicate his ideas to people of foreign nations. Acquiring the knowledge of a foreign language is essential to the success of this communi¬ cation. The materials for this acquisition were e.xpertly pro¬ vided for in the French classes of Miss Marguerite Skaar and the German sections of Miss Netta Niess. As students learned to read and write French or(»er- man, they automatically become better acquainted with their native English language. This was a key advantage of learning a new language; of course, an¬ other was the realization that one will be capable of narrowing the many gaps that now separate people of different countries. MISS MARGUERITE SKAAR gave her French I students, (stand¬ ing) Sharon Ratay, La Verne Buescher, Dick Ishmael, Warren Herold; (seated) Jane Klein and Mary Lee Wieland, some knowledge of France and its people via eye-catching posters . . . Miss Marguerite Skaar, B.A., M.A., and Miss Netta Niess, B.A., M.A. ... In the German I class Robert Dockins, Lewis Bosworth, and JoAnn Loeffler moved closer to the front of the room in or¬ der to participate better in the discussion led by Miss Netta Niess.
