In mechanical drawing, taught by Mr. Young, much time was spent in drawing and appraising objects. There will be no speeding tickets given to the boys in auto shop, for they have learned the Illinois Driving rules or so the instructor, David B. Easson, hopes. The fundamentals of the automo- bile, and the use of tools in con- nection, with the car were two of the most important factors learned in this class.

English and Library Clauses and Phrases Help Mold Our Language Is it a clause or a phrase? Do you think this is an adjective or an adverb? These questions and many others asked by the students of L.T.H.S. were capably answered by the following English teachers: Miss Margaret L. Taylor, Miss Eleanor A. Urban, Miss Marilyn R. Richards, Miss Eva M. Olson, Miss Lucile Emmons, and John L. Pence. English was a subject pursued not only by fresh- men and sophomores but also by upperclassmen. English is stressed more than other subjects be- cause it is so necessary to everyday living. American and English literature, studied under the guidance of the above teachers, gave pupils a chance to read many of the essays, poems, short stories, and plays of famous authors. A speech correction class, taught once a week by Miss jane L. Frasca, gave aid to students with speech diliiculties. This was a new and most helpful class added to the curriculum this year. The library, under the watchful eye of Miss Margaret C. Shepherd, proved a help in many ways. It contains many types of information on almost any subject, plus all of the latest magazines of any scholastic value, thus any reference work may be done in the school library during school hours, eliminating the necessity of going to the public library for study. Aside from all these reference books, our library contains many inter- esting iiction and non-Hction books, including biographies, autobiographies, and travel books written by famous people. Our library has grown from the 2,275 volumes of twenty-five years ago to the 5,975 volumes of today. Q27.
