Sports, academic facilities available for student use The new gym found many students utilizing facilities that were made available this year. Boy's physical education classes met in the gym where students participated in basketball and various exercises. Boys' and girls' health classes, which were introduced as a required subiect for all freshman students, also met in the gym. Library books, paperbacks, encyclopedias, magazines and newspapers played an important part in the academic life of a student. Term themes, research papers and book reports required of most students, were de- pendent upon the availability of library facilities. The card catalogue was always crowded with students looking for information for their papers. The reference room contains books dealing with historic and scientific in- formation that are very much in demand by students and teachers. Reader's Guide to Periodic Literature was also used by students to find interesting magazine articles to aid in writing papers. Breaks during the day find many students rushing to the water fountain. 5 l L Two freshmen discover the library facilities, available for term themes, book reports and various research papers. I9
