IT'S NOT PUNCH AND JUDY, but il is the Pardoner's Tale, and it is just as enjoyable for this advanced senior English class. Special projects such as this make English a challenge for ambitious students and prevent boredom for the ad- vanced student. Variety is the spice of life in all English classes at Lauderdale High. English Classes Are Made Interesting at L.H.S. WAS IT an amusing topic or maybe this student just has an appealing way of presenting his speech. We'll never know the cause for amusement in this class. Marina C. Burdick, English; Brooklyn College, B.A.; Columbia University, Ml A, George Geldbaugh. English, Latin; Fairmont State College, A.

Lauderdale’s Outstanding Library PARTICIPATION in the Traveling Science Li- brary is one of the many ways our school keeps abreast of the growing interest in the fields of science and mathematics. Lauderdale is one of the four high schools in the state chosen to take part in this special program. About every three months a shipment of valuable information arrives at LHS in the form of books from this traveling service. The library is building its own collection of books in the areas of science, math, and foreign languages with special encyclopedias and diction- aries. Emphasis is also placed on volumes of mod- ern history and works by contemporary authors. An added service of the library this year has been the placing of reference books in the study halls. Any student may enter the library’s training program and receive credit toward graduation. Lauderdale High can be proud of its fine library and outstanding librarians which serve as an ex- ample for other growing schools in this area. “CARDS AND MORE CARDS, exclaims Miss Zola Mae Blakeslee as she trains the assistant librarian students in their jobs. “One for each student must be placed in order,” she says. Our Library Keeps Students Ahead of Times Zola Mae Blakeslee, Florida State University, B.A. HOW TO USE a library with all its reference books and other helps is some- thing a student must learn early in order to be successful. This year Miss Ivy Berryhill has shown many students, especially sophomores, the library’s im- portance. Ivy Berryhill, Brenau, B.A. 15

Student Aided by Literature FOUR YEARS of nouns, verbs, adverbs, and English teachers are needed in order for gradua- tion. Literature plays a big part to every college- bound student and is included in every grade. With this there are many activities which make English very interesting. There are plays, puppet shows, skits and art exhibits. Mrs. Shekmar is in charge of the English De- partment (this also includes languages). Many English teachers are stressing vocabulary and many varied tests have been given, taken from the college board examinations. The seniors are putting on Macbeth and Hamlet with the aid of Mrs. Spencer this year. These dramas are composed of the members of two dif- ferent classes of which there are thirty students in each class. 17
