O TWO YEARS of study in either Latin, French, or Spanish are offered at Washi-ngton High School. lin that time a pupil secures a clearer under- standing ot phrases, references, and allusions that are found in books and other publications. ln this way a greater appreciation of literature is gained. I LANGUAGE is the basis of learning. To give the student the power of self-expression, to cultivate taste in the choice of reading material, and to set forth a means of acquiring knowledge are the aims of the English department. 16
