Library Is Ideal Place To Study Mrs. Jeanne Hawley B.A.; Lynchburg College; Head Librarian Students enjoy the quiet atmosphere the Reference Room provides for completing homework and preparing for tests. Botti t eee +2494 34 i = ag ae 23 Where might I find the play Julius Caesar? How much is my overdue fine? These were only a few questions that were asked the librarians this year. From 8:00 in the morning until 4:00 in the afternoon, the library made available its facilities to all stu- dents and teachers. Providing reading material, encyclopedias, films, slides, records, tapes, newspapers, and magazines, the library helped students and teachers increase their background of knowledge and widen their out- look. Because of the quiet, comfortable atmosphere, many students found the library to be an ideal place to study. During their study halls, students served as library assistants helping to shelve books, check out books, and answer questions. Starria Holland selects a magazine to use as she prepares a report for one of her classes.

Speidel B.A.; M.S.; M.A.L.S.; Emory and Henry College; Radford College; Hollins College; U.S. History; World History; Va. and U.S. Government Will this meeting of the Senate please come to order? We are called in session today to take immediate action on the eighteen year old vote. The Social Studies Department gave students an opportunity to become involved in such activities as a mock Senate. Through projects, debates, and discussions, students gained an insight into the work of the government. Students also received an inspiration for furthering their knowledge. Providing instruction that gave FCHS students a deeper under- standing of the events of the past, the Social Studies Department trained the leaders of tomorrow and encouraged them to be proud of their country and its heritage. Class participation is very important in Mr. Ayers government class as is evident by the interest displayed during the discussion of Chapter 2. Denny D.
