Library Club Goes To Visit Carnegie Library Visiting the Carnegie library of Union, was enjoyed by the Library club early in the year. There the student librarians were shown locally owned antiques on display, as Well as the arrangement of books and periodicals and details of the management of a city library. Before leav- ing, they heard the history of this library, which was the first in the State to be established by Carnegie funds. Student librarians were given experience in assisting at the school library desk, in checking books in and out, in keeping bulletin boards attractive With displays of current book jackets, in promoting appreciation and care of books, and in showing films on library procedures. Miss Burdette, Library club sponsor, demonstrates the operation of a slide projector to Ralph Baker, Stanley Teague, and Jimmy Sherbert. All look and listen eagerly to learn the fundamentals.

They consisted of all students who took the course in psychology. Optical illusions and their influence on everyday lives was one of the popular subjects of study in psychology. This included such matters as camouilaging, the effects of illusions on hairstyling, and the designing of wearing apparel for tall and short people, and for large and small people. Because a series of articles on better studying habits, featured in an area newspaper, the Spartanburg Herald Journal, ran parallel to a chapter on this subject, this series was used in classroom procedure. Improving the personality was another objective of the clubs. Five means of testing personality were studied. These were as follows: personality rating test by which numbers are assigned to different ratings, the interview, standardized questionnaires, real-life situation tests, and the projection technique in which one sees his faults in others. To make classroom discussions more effective, students sometimes enacted situations that they read about in their books. This was accomplished as a game in which the students tried to guess what their fellow classmates were attempting to portray. Approximately 100 students took this course in psy- chology and by doing so gained information for coping with everyday situations. ll Psychology Clubs Discuss Optical Illusions FOURTH PERIOD PSYCHOLOGY CLUB.
