Miss Dearhart Miss Myers Library provides extra insight for students A wide selection of equipment and resource materials were added to the John Marshall library. In addition to the vast collection of novels and biographies in hardback edition, students had the privilege of purchasing their own paperback editions. The students had access to the card- catalogue and the many references of the library. When a book could not be checked out, a copying machine was available to get the necessary in- formation. An assortment of newspapers and magazines were on hand for the Marshallites. Records, filmstrips and movie projectors offered a welcome change from the regular classroom procedures. Marshallites could always find the library a quiet sanctuary for study. — =— = TOP: The cafeteria staff takes time off from their daily routine to pose for the camera.

Dietician and nurse work to develop healthy Marshallites Mrs. Lane, the dietician, and the nurse, Mrs. Gordon, worked to insure the well-being of all Marshallites. Under the new management of Mrs. Lane, the cafeteria staff worked to meet the require- ments of the State Department of Education. This required the school to serve both a hot and cold lunch each day. Mrs. Lane’s main function was preparing appetizing, es well as nutritious, meals. Mrs. Gordon was always willing to help ailing persons who came to her with their problems. Sprained ankles, broken toes and jammed fin- gers were taped and cared for until the students could visit their family physician. Check-ups were given to all athletes. It was also requested that freshmen and new students transferring from other schools be examined by the school’s physi- cian. Mrs. Gordon Mrs. Lane MARJORIE L.

Miss Coughlin Miss Eggleston Mrs. Hart Mrs. Hayward Drama seasons English studies The English department emphasized an inter- est in drama and took various field trips to see several well-known plays. In October, two groups of students went to see a film of the play “Oedipus the King” at the Westhampton Theater. In January, senior classes attended a matinee performance of “Hamlet” as interpreted by pro- fessional actors. Among the new teachers in the English de- partment was Mrs. Hayward who took a partic- ular interest in the study of these plays. Mrs. Hayward was an amateur actress at the Barksdale Theater. Other new teachers were Miss Coughlin who taught a French class, Mrs. Hart, Miss Eggleston and Mrs. Jackson. VIRGINIA M.
