THE LATIN DEPARTMENT UROMANI HODIERNP' Omne initum est difiici1e - Every beginning is difficult . Any Latin student, who has struggled to translate the books required for a four year course, readily agrees with this slogan. No matter how difficult the beginning, we find the end more helpful and interesting. Our civilization is largely derived from the Romans, including our laws, political customs, religion and even our every day customs. Few of us realize the extent of our obligations to the Romans. Not only have we taken over these laws but the very words by which we name them, are of Latin origin. The Freshman Class, with the exception of a few members, entered the first year Latin and have composed the largest class ever enrolled in this course. We hope they will keep on, for, as yet, they have only begun. The Virgil Class consisted of six members, namely, Sarah Fisher, Hazel Deter, Cloyce Wolfe, Rachael Beihler, Dorotha Brinkman and Eleanore Poole. - Bonum, Melius, Optimum Numquam requisat Dum bonum est melius Et melius est optimum -Eleanore Poole 1928

GEOMETRY CLASS The Solid Geometry Class consisted of, B. Stanley, R. Keelor, E. Copeland, D. Yeager, L. Overholt. G. Withrow, S. Fisher, E. Poole and A. Nebergall. All of the Plane Geometry Class of last year are taking Solid Geome- try this year which shows the firm belief that the students who have the ability to carry Geometry belong to the select few. We will have an insight into deductive reasoning and it will allow us to know what it means to prove a statement, and give us the privilege of standing upon the vantage ground of truth. The Plane Geometry Class consisted of, C. Wolfe, E. Hos- man, C. Bisbee, F. Ensign, D. Brinkman, E. Neuman, R. Trout, L. Chavis, L. Reamsnyder, H. Neeland, R. Edwards, R. Huntington, E. Fagan, V. Lindenman, and V. Powell. The two Geometry Classes as a whole proved to be exceptionally good this year and have made much progerss in this branch. The average grade of the classes was B which proves their ability to master difficulties. -Laura Overholt 1928

HOME ECONOMICS There are fourteen members enrolled in the Home Economics course this year, six of whom are Sophomores and eight of whom are Freshmen. The work is organized so that the pupil will get all of the training for the practical efficiency in the home. The course of study for the Freshmen girls is divided into two parts. An equal amout of time is devoted to Food work and clothing work. The Sophomore girls work includes a course in cooking, sewing, die- tetics, sanitation, home sanitation, home nursing and a general course in Home planning and Home management. Hot lunches, sold at a low cost each day are prepared by an able cook who is assisted by the Home Economics girls during the noon hour. Each pupil of both classes will have to do some project work, which will give her more practice, for Practice makes Perfect. Both classes have progressed this year with the help of their teacher, Miss Heckathorn. -Flossie Norris 1928
