Mr. Shorafonowich laughingly guarded his birthday cake last November 8, from Patty Yamashita and Doug Adams. Colors Classified Sections In New Library Devised to aid the students in making an easy and quick selection in the new library, books were put into their individual groups by colors. Besides aiding students and teachers, the new arrangement added a decorative air to the library. Organization and speed were combined to make the library an efficient service. With the added check-out stations, students no longer were forced to stand in line in order to obtain a valuable reference book to assist in writing that HA term paper. A huge show case was provided in which books and outstanding student art work were exhibited throughout the year. To assist with the various duties of a librarian, audio- visual distributor, and general information manager, Mr. Smithson joined the library staff. WALTER SHARAFANOWICH A.B., M.A., B.L.S Librarian.

Swamped by college catalogues, report cards, worried parents, appointments, and telephone calls, the four counse- lors at Liberty were faced with a number of difficult tasks. Through these they became acquainted with every student. Acting as uDear Abbys , the counselors listened to student problems such as-'lWhy can't I change my schedule if I am failing the course? and 'lShould my major be in mathematics if l am better in science? Knowledgeable in the future implications of the students' classes and academic standings, the counselors aided students in choosing schedules suited to their personalities, to their likes and dislikes, and to their future plans. Seniors and Juniors demanded even more of the counse- lors' attention when they requested assistance in choosing a vocation or college. Counselors provided these students with information on colleges and the various branches of the armed forces. They dispersed bulletins on scholarship oppor- tunities.

Foreign Languages Aid Future World Harmon Through a knowledge of a foreign language and the people who speak or spoke this language, a bridge of understanding may be built to bring the world into a closer and more peaceful union. Students who desired to advance grammatical as well as oral skills were offered four years of Latin or Spanish. To aid pupils in overcoming pronunciation difficulties, improve accents and grammatical and verbal use of the language, oral presentations were recorded and then played back.
