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.

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.
