Students to converse and write. Latin, a necessity for vocations in medicine and science, is offered for two years. Many English words originate from the Latin language, making it a beneficial course of study. The Latin classes annually hold a Roman Banquet. The guests come attired in Roman dress, and enjoy a strictly Roman menu. Both the meal and the after dinner entertainment are fur- nished by the students of the Latin classes. Spanish I was offered this year for the first time in several years at N.H.S. Pronunciation of Spanish words, translation into English, and Spanish grammar were stressed. The customs and the history of Spanish-speaking countries were studied. With the aid of maps, important cities and countries were located. Because the Spanish language has influenced the English language, it is an important course. Judy Stoops, Phil Hahn, and Carolyn Thompson do a bit of translating in first year Latin. Second year Latin students find a knowledge of Barbara Senff speaks Spanish for students who listen vocabulary helpful in translating Caesar's campaigns. for mistakes in pronunciation.

Languages in our school enable Students listen to a recording of Macbeth in senior English class. Mr. McKee's freshman English class learns about the virtues of the Educational Developmental Laboratories' controlled reading program. Jerry Lambert delivers an entertaining speech which amuses members of the second hour speech class. NAPPANEE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Progress Is Our Project English, a class in which the students learn the basic fundamentals and mechanics of our language, is offered in two forms: college preparatory and practical. College preparatory classes emphasize composition writing by re- quiring one theme a week. This enables the student to develop his ability to ex- press himself clearly and to use cor- rectly the knowledge of our language. Practical English students learn the basic principles of written and spoken communication and how to apply it to daily life. In both courses literature is studied during the second semester. The seniors study English literature, the juniors American literature, and the sophomores and freshmen general literature courses. In these classes students are helped to overcome reading difficulty and to improve techniques, speed, and interpretation. Students enrolled in speech class are trained in correct, fluent, and persuasive public speaking. In addition to their class- room speeches and discussions, they pre- sent a skit at Halloween and a program at Christmas time.

To the inquiring mind, problems Members of the senior math class and Mr. Frederick discuss the properties of geometric solids. The advanced algebra class learns some of the prin ciples of higher mathematics. Beth Atkinson, Teresa Ganshorn, and LaMar Berger construct geometric shapes on the chalk board. Advanced math, a senior course, attracts only those whose vocations or talents lie in mathematics. This course covers many areas such as modern algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. The stu- dents in this course are sure to find it interesting and challenging. Advanced algebra appeals mainly to the juniors. This course consists some- what of a review of basic algebra and also probes deeper and more extensively into the fields of algebra, making it a worth-while course. Geometry, recommended as a sopho- more course is an interesting and worth-while phase of mathematics. Dealing only with plane geometry, this subject gives one a sound comprehension of its importance in many vocations. MUTSCHLER BROS. CO. Institutional Storage Components 18
