24 An artist must know his A B C’s. PRINTING ART CLASSES make clever posters and signs for various events. These classes are instructed in linoleum block printing and silk screen printing. This experience will be useful to each student in future life, in carrying on with creative hobbies. Our attractive bulletin board displays are among the many projects this year’s art classes have done. Supervised by Mr. James, art instructor, the classes designed and made displays for post game dances, Pennant Weekly and Pen- nant Annual sales, concerts and school activities in general. The class, elective for one year only, is open to all students in high school. The object of the course is to develop and understand some problems of art and to develop and maintain artistic skills rather than just to learn plain facts and figures. Mr. James has an electric kiln, for use in adult school classes as well as those in high school. Designing, molding, painting and baking pottery in the kiln for personal or commercial use is a practical trend in this department.

As the Romans built them LATIN CLASSES, guided by the capable hands of Miss Sawyer, probed into the many Roman contributions to civilization and the methods used to do these marvelous things. Various legends of the ancient Romans are translated by many of the students. The second year of Latin, 10A, develops an interest in some foreign language and creates a desire for continued study. If the student wishes to continue in his study of Latin, as a useful way to improve his knowledge in English, he may do so. Third year Latin strives to create smoother translation and deeper under- standing of this ancient language. This class also supervises the plans and arranges for the Roman Banquet which was held on April 13, this year. They also ST serve various Roman holidays, like the Ides of March, and the Saturnalia. Latin 12A makes the student familiar with stories of love, adventure and character sketches of many famous Roman men and women. Many of the original writings of Homer and Dante are used here.

HOWEVER, IN SOME CLASSES THERE.WERE NEW: FACES AND NEW VOICES . . . those of our friends from other countries, students from Europe who are attending EHS this year. First, there are the two students who came on our Foreign Scholarships, on the funds we raised through the Student Council. Last year we had students from other lands, and we felt that we gained so much by this plan, that we asked the American Field Service to help us get two more. They came in September, Irene Larsson from Degerfois, Sweden and Gunther Freischutz from Munich, Germany. Another boy from Germany, Wolfgang Edl, is here on a special scholarship from the United Brethern Church. Claude Picard, a French boy, and Sheila Dibley, from England, are here because their fathers are connected with business firms, and Jose Acosta, from Venezuela, lives here with his sister, the war bride of an Elkhartan. In the discussion on United Nations day, these s tudents gave us a glimpse of ourselves as others see us. 25
