Our Library = Prairie Heights is justly proud of its spacious beautiful library. It is the realization of Mr. Diehl ' s belief that the library should be the hut of the school, a source of reference for all departments, and a place for study or pleasure reading under ideal conditions. The furnishings and general decor contribute to an atmosphere of dignity and an appreciation for good books, magazines and periodicals, reading which is vital to the education of students in all fields.

Understanding From the console, the teacher can monitor the students, briefly correcting individual students with- out interrupting the work of others. The headphones and partitions give the students a reassuring sense of privacy and reduce distractions, thus encouraging concentration. Some booths are equipped with facilities which allow the student to record the program coming from the console and, at the same time, record his responses. He can then play back the recording and compare his responses with that of the model. Through the help of the teacher, he can analyze and correct his errors. We feel that the language laboratory is, and will continue to be, an invaluable aid to foreign language learning in our school Miss Harshberger using the console to teach the fundamentals of Spanish. Mr. Glick keeps his German class busy and happy. mm
