THE STUDENTS in Mr. Shoup ' s English class lend themselves to their books to seek answers for those never-ending daily assignments. Languages Are Learned Sentence structure, speeches, outlines, term papers - - - these were just some of the obstacles encountered by the students as Mrs. Stucky, Miss Beavers, Mr. Shoup, and Mr. Sprunger put the upper four grades through their paces in Rhetoric this year. In Latin I, the students enjoyed learning how to speak and translate the dead language. Latin II students probed deeper into structures and the history of this unique language, learning more of the how ' s and why ' s than they had the previous year. Both levels of study proved useful in the study of the English dialect. MRS. STUCKY, Maris Moeschberger, and Imogene Steffen re-examine their books to check their translations for accuracy. 16
