LIBRARIAN Mrs. VioletBible, school librarian, earned her B.S. in Education from Bowling Green State University. During the past summer Mrs. Bible completed two courses in Library Science at B.G.S.U. Each fall the new students at the high school, the eighth grades, who until this time attended the Elementary School, and the freshmen who attended Superior, are instructed in the functions of the library and in the uses of library materials. This year, for the firsttime, the eighth graders attended the library instruction classes during their regular English class periods. For seven days they reported to the library and acquired many useful library skills. The freshmen came to the library during their study hall for one week. This helped them to become acquainted with the M.H.S. library. This year the capacity of the library has been enlarged to fifty students. They may study in the library before school, at noon, and after school. The library is also open for research during study halls. A vertical file, containing newspaper clippings which may be used as reference material, has also been added. Several book cases have been added to capacitate the increasing number of books. Currently there are approximately forty-five hundred books in the library. Mr. Snyder reviews a list of the numerous colleges throughout the United States.

LANGUAGE Language is an important factor in the curriculum of- fered at M.l-I.S. Mr.Chester Wasilowski, who received his B.S. degree from Bowling Green State University, teaches English III and two classes of English IV for those senior students who wish to better prepare themselves for college. Junior and senior college prep students were required to submit an analysis of Herman Melvil1e's great classic, MOBY DICK. They spent many frustrating hours on this project which determined their six weeks grade . Interested junior and senior college prep students were excused from school one afternoon to see the filmed play OTHELLO at the Bryan theater. All those who attended had to write a summary ofthe play's action. Mr. Zon Shumway attended the University of North Carolina, Western Michigan Uni-I versity, the University of Michigan and obtained his A.B.l degree from Ohio University. I-Ie teaches English II and Latin I and II. In addition to their concentrated study of grammar, the sophomore English classes read the plays ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE, INHERIT THE WIND, and JU- LIUS CAESAR. Latin I students learned the fundamental principles of translation and formation of Latin expres- sions while those taking Latin II furthered their knowledge of the language with new complex rules and translations of Julius Caesar. Mr Shumway assists his study hall students.
