Library Assistants. They Knew Where To Look v t)l 2 No, the Cardinal Newman library was not just a place where Newman students went to get out of the hot Florida sun. It was a place where minds were expanded through researching for the many papers that were done, cramming for daily tests, and finishing up the night befores ' home- work. One important factor in the smooth running of the library was the devoted library assistants. They were always pre- pared to answer questions or help a stu- dent find a book. As senior Espi Malvarez put it, I ' ve worked here two years, soph- omore year and this year. Sophomore year I didn ' t really like it because I didn ' t know what I was doing; this year I know what I ' m doing so I can help a lot so I like it a lot better. Some got to the library at 7:45 every morning, others stayed until 3:00. Their jobs ranged from helping Mrs. Martin set up audio-visual equipment and locate films to replacing books in their proper order. These assistants also checked books in and out and collected overdue fines. The new copy machine greatly re- duced their workload. Why did they spend their time behind the bookshelves? As senior Tina Paine puts it, I just want- ed to help.

These are the words of junior guidance assistant Sandi Spitale. Everyone has the terrif ying experience of having received a guidance slip, as senior Laura O ' Leary put it, When ever I got called down to guid- ance I thought great, another deficien- cy. The people who went to guidance were aided and sometimes comforted by the assistants. They were senior and ju- nior girls who gave of their time on a rotating basis before and after school to help the guidance department run more smoothly. Why did these people come in at a quarter to eight and stay until three? We work here because we were asked to, it turned out to be a lot of fun and at least we ' re helping out a little bit at school, commented junior Josepha Cheong. There were plenty of odd jobs that needed to be done, such as stapling, glue- ing and filing. The girls who were in charge of making appointments for the three guidance counselors were seniors Eileen Cummings, Annis Isiminger, Pam Krolczyk, and Julie Moyle. The juniors were Caron Calvert, Josepha Cheong, Lorraint Prieto and Sandi Spitale. Irene Garcia and Karen Wajdowicz took care of seeing that everyone knew about the col- leges which were coming and meeting the representatives when they came. Runner Elizabeth Nealon has worked in guidance since she was a freshman. Senior Karen Wajdowicz sums up what working in guid- ance is all about, I have found that help- ing in guidance has not only made me more familiar with my school environ- ment, but it has made me more conscious of the time and effort used to make the guidance department an excellent center for student services and personal assis- tance for each individual. 188 Clubs

Forensics: Training For The Future The National Forenic League was an organization dedicated to preparing stu- dents for the future by helping them to communicate. Through competition with other schools, the members of the N.F.L. at Newman strengthened their ability to speak formally and logically. Mr. Patrick Keenan, the Forenic coach, stated, Stu- dents who participate in the N.F.L. un- derstand the importance of successful oral communication It is our belief that the best leader is one that is not only intelligent but can communicate his ideas.
