Essential to all Americans is a detailed understanding of their English language. This knowledge was obtained by Greenwood students through the emphasis on grammar, composition, and literature during English classes. English was a required course during the seventh through eleventh grades. Mrs. Baird taught grades eight, ten, and eleven, along with the elective courses of Senior English and Speech. Students were taught to speak fluently and better understand their language. Latin is the basis of all languages, thus the classes-taught by Mrs. Rice proved to be a worthwhile combination. Latin-English, required for eighth graders, taught the re- lationship of the two languages through the use of deriva- tions. She taught Latin I and Caesar for those who wished to continue their study of Lating also English for grades seven and nine. nt, t' A Speech class tour through the A Building attic brings on a serious moment.
