Their former home of Dick Thomas and is located just north of the Ad ministration Building on the up- per campus. Here in the hall, living room, dining room, kitchen and bedrooms, which have been converted into offices, the dedicated writers work. Actually though, the house was not chosen as a facade to conceal stealthy deeds but because of the limited space on campus and because it is such a 'lovely setting for visitors. It is interesting to note, however, that Dr. Read received priority rights on the kitchen for his part time office and therefore will be able to supervise the distribution of refreshments served to visiting digU In this day and age we dont have to cross an ocean or travel across the plains to prove ourselves courageous, hut we have many other tests ol courage which we must overcome. I)o we as students of the Brigham Young University Laboratory School and as members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, have the courage to do what is expected of us? Can we carry out what has been given to us to bring to pass? As leaders in a new program and as members in a great organization, are we doing all that we can and should do? We must not yield to discouragements that come but trample them under foot and make them serve as stepping stones to success. We must conquer our obstacles and turn them into opportunities. As courageous people we must be those who will calmly stop and consider, decide upon a certain method of procedure, and then exert our greatest amount of energy to carry out our plans and purpose. Our courage must be courage that has the ability to endure all kinds of hardships. We must be able to survive defeats, disappointments and losses, for the morrow will bring new strength, new hopes, new opportunities and new beginnings. Univer-headquarte- rs nitaries.

As the team went out onto the field the question was undoubtedly asked in the minds of some, What are we working for? The morale of the team has been down before and we bounced back. We can do it again, but we cant do it alone. The student-bod- y was behind the team when they looked good, but are they with us in our poorer moments as well? I hope a great spirit can carry us not only through a great athletic year, but in all our activities as well. Les Brown Ru sn Proverbs B.Y.

Dr. Read stressed that the work is to develop teacher guides that wont depend upon unsuitable texts. Instead the basic and important ideas of the course will be explained so the instructor may realize the significant material and thus eliminate needless repetition and serious omissions. Provisions for space and equipment will also add to the comenienre and versatility of education in these schools of tomorrow. Continuing, Dr. Read said, "The study of Laboratory students will be by a very carefully prepared study which will better piepare them for higher education and responsible citizenship than we have been able to do in the past.
