CURRICULUM INCLUDES ENGLISH AND LATIN Mrs. McGaughy ready to show a film to English IV This year both Latin 1 and II were offered to students. This stresses the increase of interest and importance in the language field. The Latin students were amazed when they discovered how many of our English words actually come from Latin. The first-year students spent much of the school year learning the mechanics of Latin. In the second-year classes the twelve labors of Hercules and the Gallic wars of Caesar were studied. The English department has worked together very closely this year. All of the teachers, especially in high school, have established a set of standards by which to teach. « Tape recordings and film strips have served as study aids for the classes. Each student is required to read at least six books a year and report on them. He is encouraged to read challenging material. As research is necessary for English classwork, a special orientation session to acquaint freshmen with the library has been introduced. All seniors are required to write one research paper. We at AlWood are proud of the advancements that have been made in our English and Latin departments. Sophomores preparing to read a play Conjugating verbs in Latin
