SAT's, competency tests and dances were among the activities that took place in the cafeteria. Between the hours of 12 and 2. the cafeteria was strictly for munching! Students mobbed the lunch lines during both lunches. Each table was soon filled. Students devoured sandwiches and nabs from the snack line, or spaghetti and french bread from the plate lunch line. Behind the scenes, more work went into preparing the lunches than met the eye. Mrs. Evelyn Shelton and the cafeteria staff of approximately forty, worked to meet the demands of the hun- dreds of students who sought refuge . . . and FOOD, in the cafeteria.

Delve into Shelves, Search for Research A place of relaxation between classes, before school or during a free period. This was the library. But it was much more. Conferences, meetings, research and studying. All were a part of the activities that occurred in the library day to day. There were books of all kinds—including ref- erence. encyclopedias and even magazines. Staff personnel made available the use of audio-visual equipment, tape-recorders, film projectors, records and cassetts. A staff, headed by Mr. Vincent Oglesby and Mrs. Cora Lee Hurt, with a board of approximately 15 student aids, kept the library moving. Ready to afford productive ideas and aids for learning. Work, work, work! Mrs. Cora Hurt, librarian, pauses for a bit of direction. Elizabeth Wise- man and Roger Clifton learn as library assistants. Students take a breather! Libraries are for studying and for occasional relaxation.
