English Gives Fund of Learning and Information English is required all three years at Fairmont. Grammar and composition work and a survey of English and Amer- ican literature are covered during this time. During the senior year, stu- dents are required to write a complete reference theme con- taining footnotes and a bibli- ography. Besides written work, in- cluding spelling and punctua- tion, oral English is empha- sized. Students are encouraged to prepare reports and give them before class, thus in- creasing their speaking ability. REVIEWING THEIR Junior English days with Moby Dick are Becky Barth and Tad Kiefaber.

Fairmont offers courses in four foreign languages, including t h r e e years of Latin, and two years each of Spanish, French, and German. Russian language is taught on Saturday mornings by Miss Merrilla Davis. Abil- ity to read, write, and speak languages fluently is the main purpose. TOGAS SHOULD BE JUST SO! Now it may look a bit unusual to have students dress in togas, hut about 2000 years ago this style was common. I9 'E'
