Librarians Improve Materials Available for Student Research Do you have a copy of Chaucer ' s Canterbury Tales?” How many times have you asked a similar question of a librarian? Supervising one of the school’s best sources of knowledge, the library, Mrs. Williamson and her new assistant, Mrs. Ryan, expanded this important information center by adding 800 new books dealing chiefly with junior and senior English requirements. In addition to their regular duties, the librarians were in charge of all audio-visual equipment. With the assistance of 18 student helpers, hundreds of films were procured to supplement regular classroom materials. As an invaluable aid to students doing research work, the library extended its day one hour and a quarter in addition to regular school hours, a half hour in the morning and 45 minutes in the afternoon. Circulation expanded extensively as the library has grown in size and scope, seeking to provide for the demands and needs of every student. John Raines, Butch Arebaugh, Barry Lippard browse through books by and about Shakespeare, researching topics for their sophomore English class. MRS. MARION D.

Social Studies Curriculum Paralleling the national administration, a new frontier also reached the Social Studies Department headed by Mr. Lyons. Several innovations were instituted to satisfy student inquisitiveness concerning the history and motives behind the workings of the government. Qualifying government students were granted the opportunity to specialize under liberal supervision in the library, thereby manifesting their ability to work as individuals. Another progressive concept, team teaching for the United States-Virginia history course, enabled teachers to devote more time to improved preparation and delivery of each lecture and to present to students a variety of viewpoints. Modification of the team system took the form of class rotations every six weeks among world geography instructors. Additional modernizations in the department involved the purchase of new textbooks for world history and govern¬ ment classes. Three student teachers, Mr. Helig, Mr. Greaver, and Mr. Sherman, and additional reference books contributed to the social studies division. The department sought to prepare America’s future citizenry by effective teaching and keeping abreast of the times.
