Library Quill and Scroll Newspaper Library For the first time Alder's bookworms were provided with a full-time Librarian. Mrs. Taylor devoted much of her time to the library and gave invaluable assistance to those needing it. Students at Alder make good use of the many reference books and magazines kept in the library. A total of 650 new books were purchased and more were ordered. An additional educational feature in the library this year was the Listening Post. By using a record player and individual earphones, each student was given an opportunity to listen to music or literary works at his convenience. Music Music and the personal enjoyment that accompanies it, inspires many of Alder's students to enroll in music classes. In addition to the daily instrumental and vocal music classes both groups perform at many extracurricular programs. The ’ end of the year was climaxed by the chorus singing at bacca- laureate and by the band performing at graduation. 28 ROBERT WILLIAMS, B.S. English W resiling

WALTER HAY, B.S. Industrial Arts JAMES ADAMS, M. A. Vocational Agriculture FFA Advisor JOHN COOKE, B. A. Art Arf For the creative student at Alder, art provides an opportunity for them to do their own thing” in charcoal, oils, and papier-mache. Proficient students try their hand at pottery and metal impres- sions, as an added incentive to do better. Vocational Agriculture The major objective of Vocational Agriculture is to train the individual student for a beginning and advancement in farming. The project-planned course prepares a student to pursue higher education in related fields, such as conservation, forestry, meatpacking, ag-education, and agri-business. Sketches in India ink often require much time and assistance. 27 Vo-Ag students listen and take notes.

Keeping students physically fit is the aim of the physical education department at Alder. Each student is a potential candidate for the Presidential physical fitness award and must participate in the shuttle run, standing broad jump, flex-arm hang, fifty-yard dash and exercises. Not only are the physical education classes healthful, but they are also fun. A student has the opportunity to release his emotions in kickball, to improve his tumbling, and to jump on or off the tram- poline.
