---0 an r ,,.. This year the library was given a new look. The free-standing shelves made for easier access to some of the dozens of new books. These included supplementary history, music, and literature books. New magazine shelves were also added. The group of library aids helped students to find their different materials. The staff consists of six- teen students, who are working toward additional experience and credit. They performed a variety of iobs, such as ordering and mending books and helping at the checkout desk. The appropriation of building funds will make possible a much-needed expansion program for our library. Much more floor space will be given to the library. This will enable many more students to make use of this vital educational facility. This building program will be initiated in the nearfuture. Mrs. Madeline Monson Mn. Mary A.

Mrs Mane Bohrnboch Louis Cloeson ENGLISH IS AN AID TO Attentive student listens to helpful advice. Garrard Beck Robert Blaclxmur UNDERSTANDING English students had a busy year as they strove to improve their mastery of the language. The English Teachers also gathered information and learned updated methods of instruction in the in-service workshops that were made available to them. In some of the classes, the subiects of semantics and linguistics were briefly covered. Learning to work more or less at their own speed, the iuniors in the Shakespeare classes memorized the various passages from such plays as Macbeth, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet. They were also fortunate in being able to see the plays performed at the Tyrone Guthrie Theater. Creative writing and speech courses endeav- ored to instruct the more imaginative students in developing these special abilities. Experience through practice.
