The aim for the library was to meet the stan- dards set by the North Central Association of Sec- ondary Schools and Colleges. The budget was aid- ed by federal funds administered by the state under the National Defense Education Act. Mrs. Reynolds selected many new books in the fields of science, history, geography, English, biography, civics and fiction and increased magazine subscriptions to thirty-five. Mr. Kitchell and Mrs. Harnach used library services, both resource books and visual aids, to supplement American and world history texts. In addition civics classes attended a civil trial in the Circuit Court and heard three authorities speak on local and state government. ABOVE: Darlene McLoed, now living in Venezuela and Isobel Montes, formerly of Puerto Rico, reported to the civics classes on Latin American affairs. John Batchelor dis- cussed Saudi Arabia.

Foreign Languages Analytical thought and writing were stressed in English classes. In se- nior composition strenuous writing and a review of basic fundamentals culminating in a term paper were of- fered as preparation for college. Extemporaneous speaking, debate, and the ability to speak on any subject were emphasized in speech. Each year interested students attend the Speech Conference at Purdue, which involves discussion groups, extem- poraneous speaking, and debate. A general exploratory course was offe red in art. Its purpose was to direct those who were capable to con- centrate in the fields of techniques in which they had special talents. Three foreign languages were of- fered this year. In addition to the classical Latin, French and Spanish were offered. Above: RICHARD McCLUER VANCE DePauw University, B. A. French, Golf Coach, French Club Sponsor.
