340 WOO!!! Here there are always members from each class striving to top each other in learning how to speak and write effectively, to know and love Shakespeare, to appreciate poetry, to develop a liking for good read- ing, and a discriminating taste and variety in selection of material. Someone can always be seen listening to recordings of '4Beowulf and S'Treasure Islandf, or making his own recordings, giving talks, review- ing books, studying iilm strips on '6The Tale of Two Citiesf' or con- ducting a student round table discussion. After school hours almost always a group is gathered around the desk editing the OCEANA or displaying the strategy of debating. This busy English department re- ceives much cooperation from another room I remember . . . THE OCEANA

One day as I stepped out of Mrs. Fal- lon's closet, I was bewildered by the tur- moil in the room. Mrs. Fallon, our ad- viser, Anne Shraybman, editor-in-chief. and Reginald Larson, managing editor. worked busily at Mrs. Fallon,s desk ar- ranging layout in the dummy. In one corner, Marilyn Webb was giving a last minute pep talk to her advertising staflf Nearby, the literary staff, under Barbara- 'Iean Morton, was noisily proofreading. The hubbub was hectic! I walked to the rear of the room where I found an empty desk with a sign on it that read. i'Art staff-out to lunch. Artists are al- ways hungry, it seems. I sat down in the cmpty chair and began to think about the staff. Chosen early last fall, the stall' had immediately received assignments and se- lected a theme. Every one worked hard to discharge his duties efficiently. All work was done during after school hours. and some members even took time from the THE OCEANA Christmas holidays to work on the book. This was typical of the enthusiasm shown by the staH, sharing the work of creating a yearbook that will measure up to the line standards of previous OCEANA an- nuals. It was just such enthusiasm as this that resulted in the 1950 OCEANA,S receiving a second place rating in the class of printed yearbooks published by students of schools of three hundred or less enroll- ment. This was the first time our book had taken an award in the national con- test held annually at Columbia University. Appointed as delegates because of out- standing achievement, interest and initia- tive in their Helds, Anne Shraybman, Regi- nald Larson, Margaret Crosby, and Joan McGlauflin represented us at the CSPA convention in March at Columbia Uni- versity. As I thought of these busy, noisy groups before me. I couldn't help feeling proud ol them and marvelled that out of the din and confusion would come new and greater results. RI wonder what the 1951 OCIQANA will be like? Passing yearbooks out of a closet had suddenly become ex- citing! 27
