Language ln our foreian lanquaae department courses in Latin and Spanish are offered. ln first year Latin the students learn the declen- sions and conjuqations and a limited vocabulary of Latin words and phrases. The second year continues this type of work and the pupil puts into practice the knowledge he has qained by translating Well-known works. The Spanish courses have proved very popular with Feitshans students as is attested by the increasing MRS- PRUGGER enrollments in the courses which are offered. During some of the class sessions no one is allowed to use any lanauaae but Spanishf not even slana. The romantic and historic atmosphere of the Span- ..'f.A. Northwestern U. ish speaking countries leaves an indelible impression on the students and very rarely does a student drop his Spanish courses to delve into some other field. Cn the contrary most of them desire to ao on in advanced Courses so that they may become Well versed in the structure of this particular lanauaae and able to speak it fluently. 'lr

Qi iii. l Science is not all the splitting ot the atom- f there is also the more demure side ot the subject which is offered to those who are interested in plant lite, bacteria, and aeoloay, that is, General Science and Biology. Many scientists experiment with things of a more harmless nature, seeking not to destroy as does the atomic bomb, but to heal. These are the ones who produce litefsavina devices and druas. Perhaps some of our present Feitshans Biology and Science students will pursue this path ol study and unveil some ol the mysteries in the field of research and medicine. Wlicrt' ever success they may have in their chosen worlc they will owe much to their instructors here at Peitshans. K V ., . . 'Q X .

The art students are always willina to devote their talent and their time to the making of posters for every occasion. These posters attract everyones attention and are always the best way to advertise a school affair, such as a prom, a dance, a band or choir concert. The senior class is grateful, too, for without the help of the art classes many proms would be without the .QL qala decorations that make them such a areal success.
