These lovely, Roman lassies P show how seriously the Denton High Latin students take their course. Several times during the year the Latin Department spon- sors a Roman party to which all the students come dressed as early Romans. Shown here are Kay Grafa, Marsha Miller, .lo- anne Macey fseatedl, and Sally Hannah. Latin Realizing the importance of Latin, the mother tongue of many different languages, approximately eighty Denton High students took Latin this year. This is the largest number to enroll for this course since it became an elective and not a required course. Perhaps the reason for this phenomenal growth in enrollment is the instructor, Mrs. Kay Hanley, who believes that Latin can be fun and has proven it to her many students. Well over half of our English words are derived directly or in- directly from Latin root words. This makes the study of the so- called Hdeadi' language all the more important in understanding English. xx X if YD if fi 1 , R l .. MRS. KAY HANLEY B.A., M.A.

19 1 s f Q 1' CHARLES WILSON BS., M.Ed. t ll jg L it Journalism Wherever you find democracy and enlightened people you will find newspapers and the study of Journalism. Ever since it was first used in England almost three centuries ago, the word news- paper has distinguished that publication from other periodicals as one whose primary purpose is the printing of news. So also the school newspaper holds its position in the realm of student publications because its chief characteristic is the coverage of news of the school. ' ' ,vii The Denton High Horseshoe has made a name for itself among student newspapers all over the nation as it has consistently been rated among the top school publications. Merits awarded the paper are displayed here in the Journalism room. One of the most fascinating jobs connected with publish- ing a newspaper is making it up over at the print shop. Here page editors help the make-up man stick corrections for an issue of the Horseshoe. if ' 1 ' 'I' LSL-' , Kal Bt .-

DOYLE CHRISMAN B.S., M.S. Driver Education Realizing the importance of safe driving Denton High School offers a course in Driver Education and Safety Education to the beginning driver. The first semester of the year-long course is spent studying safety rules of the road and traffic problems. During their second semester each student learns the proper way to handle a car under the supervision of trained personnel. A local dealer furnishes the school with a dual-control car so that the instructor can take over if the neophyte driver gets into a traffic situation that he cannot handle. Students take both the written test and driving test from a highway patrolman. As a general rule graduates of this course have a far better safety record than those who learn to drive by the hit-or-miss process. Driver Training Instructor Doyle Chrisman points out the different parts of the car's engine to driving students. A good driver should know how to take care of his car as well as know how to drive it properly. 7 aifgijkv . f . lx
