Benson A.B., Guilford College English Sue Harder and Marion Nichols use a scale model to explain the Shakespearean theatre to their English class. quest of Moby Dick With the commencement of school came new interests for each English student. For the sophomores, these were Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. Also studied were poetry, grammar, theme writing, and several recitations. Juniors were faced with the writing of original short stories, sonnets, author projects as well as their regular study of such works as Moby Dick and Our Town. American literature furnished the basis for the year’s work. Seniors were concerned mainly with English literature, as they studied Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, and Pygmalion. Student autobiogra¬ phies and research papers dominated the important written assignments. Mrs. Pollyanna W.

Library becomes nucleus for research and browsing For every student the library proved to be the center for research as well as for reading pleasure. Ap¬ proximately one thousand books re¬ ceived since last year offered ad¬ ditional reading enjoyment to the stu¬ dents. In addition to the ample supply of books, there were also seventy-five different magazines and three editions of newspapers for both daily use and reference work. Serving as the audio-visual center for the school, the library offered records, films, and projectors to supplement regular classroom activities. To help the librarians, approximately twenty students sacrificed their study periods to card and shelve books as well as to issue them.
