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.

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 faculty sponsor was elected by each class to advise them with their plans. An important step in curriculum was the em- phasis placed on improving reading. All eighth grade teachers gave standardized achievement and IQ tests to aid in this project. The faculty members also assisted in maintaining the new library. During each period one teacher besides the librarian stayed in the library. Without these instructors the process of building would be impossible. Robert E.
