LATIN Room Five is gradually taking on the aspects of a Latin laboratory. The posters on the walls immediately make it known to the visitor that he is in a classical atmosphere. We also have an interesting display of soap sculptoring. Unique booklets have demonstrated the fact that Latin, too, offers an opportunity to develop originality. The book made in the shape of the famous golden apple is suggestive of the Trojan War. Pandora's Box proves that Eve didn't have a monopoly on curiosity. There is one the shape of a rose. which tells the mytholog- ical story of flowers e. g. Hyacinthus and Narcissus. The foot of Mercury, the Peacock, fjuno's favorite fowlj and the Swan also suggest dieties and characters of Roman mythology. For the first time in her teaching career Mrs. Rathbun has chickens of her own hatching, -that is, students completing the fourth year Latin course, who en- tered LatineI under her in the fall of '24. Miss Hawkins laughs at Mrs. Rathbun's pride and says, Well, if you are figuring that way, I can boast of a whole poultry farm. FRENCH The French room! Yes, I guess I do remember it! We used to go to class afraid to open our mouths for fear of making a mistake, and then find to our surprise that we were right. It was certainly fun to learn to talk a foreign language. It sounds funny and different from ours, but we like it. Then when we got to the place where we read stories and even long plays and books it was even more fun because we could talk about the things we read. And all the time we were learning interesting things about France and the French people that we would never have learned if we hadn't been studying the language. Others can think about the work they did if they want to, but these are the things I remember about the French room. ENGLISH In M. H. S. we have three divisions of the English department. To Miss Quell is given the task of chiselling the raw product. Her tools are the rudiments of grammar and oral composition. At the end of one year she has a promising bit of statuary. The following year she tones down allfrough edges by a thorough' application of American Literature. Then Miss Hope, aided by Chaucer, Scott. Tennyson, and their contemporaries, diligently corrects each inconsistency and removes every slight mistake which may possibly have been hitherto neglected. Thereupon the masterpiece is surrendered to Miss Hawkins, whose pleasure it is to polish it. With a master stroke, Shakespeare, whom she has summoned as an assistant, adds an indefinable touch of culture and classicism to the piece of work. The method employed for the final process in its sculptoring is short story reading and writing. Now the work is completed,-and we hope that the finished product is not a marble head, as our poor metaphor has implied! Rather, it is a student, equipped with an adequate ever-increasing vocabulary, instructed in the fundamen- tals of grammar, rich in the appreciation of literature.
