ART - A CULTURAL STIMULUS This beats using a nail file! One of the basic principles of educa- tion is stimulating an interest and appre- ciation for culture. The art department offers opportunities for creative self- expression for talented and interested students. Through exercising his mental and physical abilities, taste, and judg- ment, the art student develops an aesthetic sense that will remain With him as long as he lives. Miss Kathryn Berger -- B.

LIBRARY - HO E OF FELICITY Providing enrichment and resource materials, the library is an important organ of the school. Within the bounds of the library, one can cross the thresholds of fantasy and far away lands ,or of science and humanity. To meet the academic and literary needs of the school, Wilson's library has ex- pandexd its stacks and the hours the library is open. New books are catalogued and displayed in the entrance to the libra before they are placed on the shelves. There is now emphasis on extending the collection of scientific books, not only of the space age but of all areas in science. The li- brary -is constantly growing. Thousands of books from the senior high library have been taken to the new junior high building. More audio-visual materials will be added as a part of the increased program for next year. Elementary li- braries will also be introduced in connection with the Ele- mentary and Secondary Education Act. Such be the library, and take this motto of a Latin make to grace the door, through which I pass: HIC, HABITAT, FELICITAS ! -- Frank Dempster Sherman M.rs. Hdller -- Mrs. Lantz -- B.A., Bucknell B.
