 ntjfidl ant I Ot VPin9 ENGLISH 9 Mae Degler is shown answering a question in the ninth grade English class. Robert Bender in the front seat is following and checking her answer in the Eng- lish book. The class divides its time on three phases of English. Literature is probably the most popular study. Work in using English in discussion, speeches, and letter writing plus the work in grammar round out the year. ENGLISH 10 Ruth Degler is anxious to answer another question about a literature story that is being studied in Mr. Spare's English class. Some of the most popular weeks of the course were spent studying great stories in liter- ature; such as, Julius Caesar and Silas Marner. The class also enjoyed writing paragraphs throughout the year. ENGLISH 11 The Junior class play. Miss Chatterbox, was pre- sented December 10, 1953. at the Bernville Community Hall, with Mr. Spare as the director. Some of the cast were: Warner Conway—Charles Seifrit, Thyra Conway —Bernice Luckenbill. and Judy Conway—Catherine Rioser, who was Miss Chatterbox. The class also studies the use of the library, essays, paragraphing, and literature. TYPING 12 Typing is a subject that every senior has taken this year. When you type, you are not supposed to look at the keyboard; and to make sure, at least try to make sure. Miss Riegol. who is the overseer for the typing class, comes around to check up on whether they have their lessons up-to-date or whether they are lagging on behind. She supplies the necessary equipment for them. She also applies her voice when necessary. As a rule typing is a fine subject; and. of course, it is noisy, not only from the typewriters alone, but from the seniors who are operating them. Twenty-one
