Hard at work are these students Cleftj in the new library. With two sections, plus the magazine shelves, students have plenty of space to study. Quiet- ness reigns, making it easy to con- centrate. Eighty eight students may use the library during one period. t4It?s fun doing experiments in the new labfl say Bill Missildine Crightj, Teresa Thomas, and Marlene Scoggins. Mrs. Simmons's chemistry lab has new equipment for making tests and experi- menting. The physics classes also use the lab but they have special equip- ment. The senior theme requires much research. Here Howard Brooks is helping Jackie Knight find information in the new magazine section. Almost any new or old periodical can be found in the library. Enjoying her work as assistant in the new library, Revonda Gregg gladly checks out books for Lorita Paramoure and Willis Shell. Miss Smith has two assistants each period to help keep the books in order. 1 21

A New Library Every student is proud ot the new building and likes to show visitors the modern conveniences. A part of the Antley Building which is used and enjoyed by all students is the library. It is divided into three sections: reference, fiction, and magazine. Also in the library is a conference room which is used for meetings. The new breezeway, connecting The Antley Building with Winn Street Building, is enjoyed by both teachers and students as they change classes from one building to the other. With the addition of a new building the science department was allowed a complete section. All science classes are conducted on the first floor of The Antley Building. Both the biology and chemistry classes have a lecture room and a laboratory. All new rooms are well lighted with three rows of fluorescent lights. Each room also has large win- dows through which light can enter. Perhaps the most outstanding part of the Antley Building is the lobby. There are two large trophy cases in the side walls. These contain the most recent awards received in athletics, journalism, and club work. Also in the lobby is a picture of Shuler Antley, superintendent. This was presented to the school by the Sophomore Tri-Hi-Y. The floor of the lobby is tile with a large blue and white MHS in the center.

The in- crease was caused by the growing population of Marietta. The faculty has carried out many plans and pro- jects to improve the school. Committees were formed to study the phases of work which interested the teachers. Plans were made for next year's curriculum. The faculty was responsible for preparing a handbook for 1953-54 containing a list of the faculty, curriculum, and activities of the school.
