I I-i ra Each semester the tests are fiven to all students and graded accordin - is is 25' ly. The lOI5's are naturally not expected to rate as high as the l2A's. The Minimums include s tellin Y, usa fe, and unctuation with a few catch S I Iv 3-i P i tuestionsv added for food measure. After six sessions of these tests the 4 I I-I hi fh school fraduate should be t uite aware of the im ortance of En flish 5 2, I is grammar. -. CI Z P-1 O FU IT!

English: Take II Ancl Like I+! if i' if 'k uk 'A' 'A' Hy the time Ramsey's nine A stu- dents arrive at Washburn they have accepted taking English as their inevi- table fate. As diversified as VVashburn's subjects arc, English is something ev- eryone has in common. The typical tenth grade student is worried by the size of the American Literature book as it is handed him over the book- rooin counter. However, under the guidance of Mrs. Keyes, Miss Mont- gomery, and Miss Blessin, the afore- mentioned worry gives way to a year of pleasant reading and study. The varied and interesting phases of Amer- ican Literature are the basis for an understanding oli American writers. In eleven B many of VVashburn's students take News because they have journalistic interest .... or because up- perclassmen have rumored that the class is more fun than regular Eng- lish. With Miss Dowling and Mr. Clae- son holding the reins we can under- stand the students' afhnity for News. In the other S3 classes under Mrs. Bas- ford's capable supervision, creative writ- ing is stressed. So that when the tenth graders see the eleven Als mumbling to themselves in the halls, they will not think old age is setting in, we would like to ex- plain that they are only saying their memory lines preparatory to giving them in their Shakespeare class. As the semester nears an end, Miss Suber's and Mr. Claesonls desks are cluttered with copies of term themes on Shake- speare and Elizabethan life. The seniors end their high school English with a study of English Lit- erature. Miss Christensen, Miss Lucas, Mrs. Savage, Miss McLaughlin and Mrs. Mulligan are kept very busy doing everything from deciphering Chaucer to correcting term themes which are written on anything the student has a special interest in. So you can see that any excuses for not being thoroughly acquainted with English are void when a pupil graduates. 'A' i' i' i' ir 'A' 'A'

20-WASHBURN7wAHlAN I944 'A' CULT RE Where 1'alen+s are revealed The VVashburn language department ollers a two-year course in Spanish, French, and German, and a four-year course in Latin. In studying these lan- guages students familiarize themselves with the history and literature as well as learning to read and speak them. Miss Laird and Miss Tupper supervise the Spanish courses, and Miss Denison, the German course. The Latin classes are under Mrs. Savage and Miss Gear, Miss Gear also teaches French. Not all of the art students are talent- ed, but this popular course develops an appreciation of art and also serves as a practical experience in graphic ex- pression. Creative work is stressed. Miss Baker and Miss Trowbridge su- pervise the courses which include Sketch, Design, Fashion, Painting, Commercial Art, and Crafts. Outstand- ing projects are shown at the nation- wide exhibit sponsored by the Scholas- tic Magazine. Chorus, one ol' the required subjects, is conducted by Mr. Beckstrom and Mr. Super. In taking this subject, the students become acquainted with both classical and patriotic songs. Through- out these chorus groups are talented students who are placed in the Girls' Glee Club, the Mixed Glee Club, or the Boys' Glee Club. These clubs are under the supervision of Mr. Beck- strom. Much valuable experience is gained in these groups, the Glee Clubs have sung for various organizations outside of school as well as for school programs, and also take part in the annual Washburn Christmas Chorus presented every year under the direc- tion of Mr. HB. Mr. Super has supervision of VVash- burn's orchestra and band, which play for various auditorium programs and athletic events. Mr. Harry Ranks con- ducts our Harmony class for those who take music. It is pleasing to notice how much interest he has aroused among the student boys toward acquiring a greater appreciation of music, as Well as becoming more proficient in it.
