These programs are presenTed each year as parT oT The oral work in Span- ish by The pupils oT Miss FleTcher Ryan Wickman. A smail admission Tee is charged which goes To The Spanish DeparT- menT Tor books and orher needed equipmenT. 0 FourTeen ForesTers sTudied Greek This year. The class was TaughT by Miss Lourania Miller every Friday morning aT 8 olclock. The obiecT oT The class, said Miss Miller, is To learn The basic principles oT Greek, which will help prepare Them if They decide To sTudy iT in college. The sTudy oT Greek gives a broader ouTlook on liTe and produces a beTTer un- dersTanding oT liTeraTure. The sTudenTs received no crediT, as iT was :TricTly a preparaTory course. 0 The French De- parTmenT has been exTended To include a TourTh-year course, which will counT Toward graduaTion and will carry as many honor poinTs as any oTher basic subiecT, The course will also make prospecTive French college sTudenTs sTronger in French and will possibly give Them a higher classiTicaTion when They enTer college, :aid Mrs. Zuleika Adam, French insTrucTor. WHAT ELSE WOULD ONE DO? CorrecT This senTence, Sammy SelTzer: 'lT one losT one's haT, whaT would one do?' Miss Addie Melson asked. BUT Sammy was sTumped.

The sTudenTs were mixing The plasTer Tor Their own individual iobs. The plasTer is mixed by hand and is iusi like cemenT when iT hardens. As parT oT The sTudy oT Dallas arTisTs, Mrs. Nowlin's classes visiTed The ArT Museum ai Fair Park during The Tall Term To sTudy The painTings oT living Dallas arTisTs. 0 The Music DeparTmenT presenTed a program aT an assembly oT The school March 8, wiTh Miss Louise Wilcox, The music insTrucTor, direcTing.
