MISS BRANON English MRS. HARTWELL Library much aid and counsel. Social studies, consisting of U. S. History, American Prob- lems, Modern History, and Civics, play an important part in our school curricula in preparing us for problems and responsibilities we must face in adulthood concerning our nation. The crowning achievement at Spaulding High School is the acquisition of a new library this year. Because of the great incon- venience to those students who live outside of Barre and who cannot possibly maintain a constant use of Aldrich Public Li- brary, it is a welcome change as they are able to obtain per mission to use its facilities during any free study period.

Zhe directors give us Ereshmen entering S.H.S. may pursue one of four curricula: college prep, academic, commercial, or trade and industrial. English, a required subject for all students each year, offers prose literature interspersed with poetry and now and then a pinch of grueling grammar. We are given many opportunities for creative writing, such as the Voice of Democracy Contest, Na- tional Poetry Contest, work on Echo, and also the Sentinel. Praise should be given to the members of these two staffs for their toilsome labors. At some time during our years we delve deeply into the background of early American and English Literature.

Our play runs smoothly with If you should pass near room 201 when the door is open, probably you would hear the bubbling banter of the French language, capably taught by Mrs. Sassone or Mr. Jenness. Certainly, you must have seen students working in room 200 on geometry problems. Actually they are working on new angles” to avoid so much homework. Perhaps you are one of those luckless few (brave, yes) who took senior math. Chances are that you would rather be on the first space ship to the moon.
