Cumberland Builds Through the CURRICULUM It is in the classroom that the stu- dent must be especially careful to lay a solid foundation in order that his academic structure will be strong and true. Here the habits of learning, thinking, and investigating are cemented; here the bits of accumulated knowledge become building blocks of future structures. To encourage the student to build well, a large library is being constructed, thus freeing space in the main building for an extra class- room. Another large classroom is be- ing provided in the gymnasium, a well equipped audio-visual center is being planned, and the lighting of all rooms will be improved. In such an environ- ment, each student will find a greater incentive to lay his academic foundation soundly. Large windows will fill the gaping spaces in this building which will house the library. Julie Midkiff and Geraldine Stimpson select books for parallel reading.
