The trees have grown consider ably since then, other than that Mrs. Ferry sees, ". . that the student, academically, are just as serious but more pressure is being put on them today."

IN SECONDARY EDUCATION AT Muhlenberg College. There is nothing Mrs. Ferry finds discrediting about High acres. She feels that not enough reading is being done but cites one of the reasons for this. "The change from semesters to terms took away the students' leisure time to explore the library and read for relaxation." She does not dream of hoards of biblioman iacs overrunning thi place but she would like to establish a closer contact with the students in order to " . . . help more of them use the library effectively." Since Mrs. Ferry has two teen agers of her own she feels that she can pretty well understand the youth of today and sees most of their problems as being over publicized. "I still have faith in the young people of America, they are more independent and out in the open about things. think this is very good." Mrs. Ferry is looking forward to the expansion of the campus which will include a new library able to hold forty thousand vol umes compared to fifteen thous and in the present library. Her philosophy of life: "Work hard, keep busy, and set periods aside each day for reading."

She likes sincerity in people and is drawn to these "who are unique and original n their own right. I want to find the under lying personalties; not those made by society." Bonnie finds it most discredit ing to be looked upon as a figure- THE HIGHACRES COLLEGIAN head. She also dislikes people's attitudes to groups different than theirs. "People should look back at these individuals, vim their' opinions and try , to understand them before they criticize." Her mood changes to light when she speaks of her parents.
