Language Department: Mrs. Carleton Jones, French and Spanish instructor, substituting during the illness of Miss Anna Mary Thomas, and Miss Sara Stevenson, Latin teacher. ' Umm Jlmzc Three foreign languages are o'FFered to the students of Indiana High: Latin, French, and Spanish. Those taking the General College course are required to consume two years of one of these languages, and, with some limitations, other students desiring to do so can take a for, eign language. It is the aim ofthe Language Department that the students should not only learn coniugation of verbs and declention of' nouns but that they should also acquire a suitable background which will be conducive to a better understanding of the formation and make up of the language. This is accomplished by studying the background, history, and customs of the people by whom the language is spoken. Although the two-year language courses do not enable us to become accomplished linguists, they do aid us, as educated individuals, to broad- en our interests and better understand other na- tionalities. Below is how one of Mrs. .lones's Spanish classes looks when at the blackboard. L'lndien -- 26

Jfmcw 6 0 MDL The Library is the center of school curricular activity. During a school week every student makes use of it at least once. In the course of a single day, an average of 100 books are circu- lated, and in a month's time 2000 books are passed across the desk. Beside, books, maga- zines, and pamphlets are constantly being checked out. Among other services, the library is kept open every noon hour to provide a place for stu- dents who wish to study. Each period of the day, at least one other teacher is in the library to help Mr. Huber super- vise the 600 students who make their way to the library each day. Also helping to keep the room in order are nine interested students who serve as student librarians. Below left: the library is filled like this nearly every period.
