On Lying Awalce at Night, she had an American Dream about Romeo and Juliet swimming the I'Iellespont-- No, these aren't the ravings of an insane person, they are only a few of the literary creations which the English classes study. Reading these inspires us to creative writing. Our ideas are expressed more clearly after studying grammar and composition. Unaccustomed as we are to public speaking, we over- come that after a year in Speech class.

We Are Proud of Our Library Where can I find a book on the development of English Literature during the age of Queen Elizabeth? Many students ask the librarian questions such as the one above. She is faithful in her work securing the books that students request. The librarian and her assistants keep a careful check-up on all the books taken out. Approximately twenty-five books go out of the library each day. However, the books are constantly used in the library by the students during study halls and until the library closes at 4:30. We are fortunate in having an outstanding school library. Three hundred thirty-live new books were purchased in September, 1939. The library contains several sets of encyclo- peclias, dictionaries, and other reference books. It either takes or receives as gifts, fifty magazines. Some of these are for the Junior High, others are professional magazines for teachers. All the back issues are filed for reference work in the stack room.
