Cafeteria: Probably one of the more colorful and ’’span environments can be found In the cafeteria and study hall which features folding doors to the corridor and spacious patio doors to the exterior. You will notice that the cafeteria also opens directly into the library by means of a folding door—a very convenient arrangement. Our cafeteria will become more than an area which will only be used during the school hours. Our P.T.A. and social organizations will find it very convenient and spacious for socisl gatherings and community functions. We can easily seat 100 people in comfort. History Classroom: The academic classrooms include four units of varied sizes to provide a complete program in Math, Social Studies and English.

Sponsored by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the 6-week course is designed to introduce fifty students selected from schools in various states to the college methods of studying science. The heart of the program was a series of lectures and demonstrations by Dr. Leo Nedelsky of the University of Chicago. Mr. Frederic Cutlip of N. M. U. lectured on math and guided the students in their development of the sets of numbers. Kathy's individual project was extra research in physics. Mary Paul, Christy Burse, Judy Binning, Nancy Ogle, and Marie Utten-dorfer attended a 2-week music clinic at Oshkosh State College, Oshkosh. Mr. Fred Liest and Mr. Klautsh directed the group in their performance of South Pacific presented for the public Friday and Saturday nights.
