Queens College For some, it is the bane of their existence. For others, it is a pleasure. For all, it is a necessity. English, on different levels and in every year, is an essential part of every Warrior ' s course of study. Grammar and literature are required ele- ments in the Language Arts program. Elective courses in Speech, Drama, and Journalism are available to students as offerings in the Language Arts department.

by the Guidance and Library staffs. The library serves as a refuge for students to escape the daily routine of class. Miss Nancy H. Spain Librarian B.S., East Carolina College Sponsor: Library Club Audio-Visual Club Each fall, when Kecoughtan ' s students return, they find that one departmental section has grown. More of every- thing— books, magazines, records, films, and audio-visual equipment — this seems to be a constant goal of the Library staff. Miss Nancy Spain, Mrs. Ethel Brockley, and Mrs. Arnette King were kept busy with cataloguing, filing, and shelving the new items. They found time to train students as library aides, and to teach interested boys the operation of the various items of audio-visual equipment. A new unit for microfilming printed materials of all kinds was put into use. The operation of this was an added task, but its efficiency and its contribution to space-saving more than made up for any additional work it caused. Throughout the year, the students and faculty members found the Library to be a pleasant place to work and to study. They also found the Library staff to be ready and glad to help at all times with research and reading problems. Photographers persuade Miss Spain and Mrs. Brockley to take a break from the tedious job of cataloguing books to have their pictures taken. Miss Spain gives Dee Hartsell her daily instructions. First, take their index finger, place it gently on the pad, and then stamp their library card. ' Mrs. Arnette S.
