Q51 lllllllllllduu ll ' illgllllllllmli lliullilllll lllmnmu ll nll llllllllllll Assembly . Library Students at Cllllolfk THE ASSEMBLY seems to be enjoyed by the majority of students. Whether due to the amount of work done there, the notes slipped, the low whisper, or the various programs held there, it is hard to determine. This room serves many purposes. During free periods students pre- pare lessons there. Interesting plays, programs, and pep meetings have been sponsored in the assembly, furnishing unforgetable memories. WE THINK it is an undisputed fact that a library is essential to a thorough education. The Menasha high school library is credited with having a very fine collection of reference books, encyclopedias, fiction, non- fiction, and books of plays, secured largely through the eiforts and fine judgment of the librarian, Miss Jeanette Fox. Here students come for re- ference, for quiet study, and for browsing among the new books. l27l

llllllllllli ll llgllllllllllull llhnllllllll lllrqnlgltll ll nll Illllllllul Social Problems Chemistry V Academic Glasses OF ALL the high school courses, social problems is, perhaps, the most interesting. Mr. A. J. Armstrong, who teaches this class, leads the informal discussion which allows each student to express his own ideas. Mr. Armstrong has also made it possible for his young socio- logists to visit various state institutions in the Fox river valley, giving them some idea of how these institutions are managed. KOH, HCL, Na2SO4, and many other formulae, fascinate the students who take chemistry. Practical experiments help students understand some of the rudiments of elementary chemistry, and qualitative analysis. Mr. M. J. Gegan's able teaching strengthens student interest in this subject, which is the second of two required science units. Each year a chemistry medal is awarded the student having the highest percentage, to help stimulate more interest, better cooperation, and higher grades. E261
