These juniors are using reference material for information on current events, which is a phase of American history classes. The school library offers its users data in every subject. Books, magazines, newspapers, pamphlets are within the studentsh reach. The library has many different sections and facilities which students may use for class work and personal enjoyment. Approxi- mately 250 new books have been placed on the shelves of Mercyhs library during the past year. Some sophomore English students produced Silas Marner before the class. The climax of Silas Mar- ner occurred when little Eppie refused to go home with Nancy and Godfrey. Working out a prob lem in current events are J. Rechtin, M. C. Lorenz, M. Hubert, K. Koebel. The sophomore English course provides interest in literature, speech and rhetoric. Most im- portant of all the Writings studied are Silas Marner, She S maps to Conquer and Julius Caesar. Students particularly enjoyed portraying scenes from the different stories. English gives the student opportunities to acquire skill in letter writing, composition, and composing poetry, while literature, just for opening the book, brings to life joys of endless personalities!

The textbook was not the only source of knowledge for the students, since some time was set aside for extra curricular activ- ities in the language or culture of the Spanish people. The girls learned of the ways and cus- toms of the natives along with their nouns and verbs. Such activities have kept Spanish alive.
