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.

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.
