Libraries Add References To Aid Students What is the basic unit of society? The answer to this and many other baffling questions can be found in either the Junior or Senior Libraries. During our freshman-sophomore years we have access to the Junior Library. Then, as our courses become more difficult, we use the Senior Library which has recendy added the Great Books of the Western World, new atlases, figurines, maps, and paperback books. The libraries aid us in another way. When we have homework that requires concentration we can go into one of the libraries where silence is the rule, and we can work undisturbed. A CARD file can be a very useful thing, agrees Sharon Olds while she makes a list of references in the library. 11

Speech, Drama Encourage Future Orators and Acto rs Future Sarah Bernhardts and Daniel Websters may today be spending time developing their talents in the speech and drama classes. Under the super¬ vision of Mrs. Mary F. Busby and Mrs. Mattie Hannsz, students endeavor to improve diction and gain poise while speaking before an audience. As part of their training in order to put them at ease, students are required to act out pantomimes before an audience. This also gives a new inference to an old adage-actions are more effective than words. But actions alone cannot hold the attention of an audience. XMction and correct grammatical construc¬ tions in speeches and character parts are important, too. Students are given selected topics as subjects about which to write their speeches. When voices and actions are developed sufficiently, students learn parts in plays which are presented for the benefit of the school. PHILLIS CHORNACK practices diction and actions while presenting a speech in drama class. KAREN JAKOVAC, Ed Agnew, Tom Sery- nek, Sharron White, Donna Wimsett, and Lois Berglund prepare a discussion for drama class.
