HCONFESSIONALN Leftf'right4Guenther, Fors, Zintz, Grifhn, Daggett, Coe Library About 400 new books have been added to the library this year. Under the capable supervision of Miss E. Strong the entire library has been catalogued and in- dexed so that new and useful information may be found. Members of the Student Council have been most helpful in taking charge of the library during the periods the librarian was unable to be there. Visiting teachers and school ofiicials have described our library as Mthe best for a school of its size in New York State and most upftof date library in Western New York , Public Speaking and Dramatic Departments This new department made its first appearance to the pupils in a program of four, one-act plays, October 25th and 26th: 'LGhost Story , Manikin and Minikinn, The Grill , and Good Medicine . Cn April 11th three onefact plays: The Patchwork Quiltn, k'Thank You Doctor , and Confessional contested for the honor of repref senting Hamburg at the Little Theatre Tournament, May 9th and 10th at Ithaca. Confessional was chosen. Other plays presented during the year were: The Killer , Etiquette and Daily Doesn't . The success of this new department in the school is due to the splendid work of Miss Eve Strong. Although this is her first year in Hamburg she has advanced the Public Speaking Department with astonishing rapidity and has aroused a new interest among the townspeople and students as shown by the large, appreciative audiences at all public performances.
