The study of the quality, vitamin value, preparation and serv- ing of food led up to this project. As housekeepers, many of the boys have proved themselves worthy of the near white aprons and caps they wore in class. Besides learning the quick, efficient way to do the little household tasks, they also study the selection and care of clothing.

languages Open the door of appreciation of peoples of other countries and broaden international outlook To help students cope with modern times, adequate schools offer courses in the languages of other countries. Latin, Span- ish, French and German may be studied at Arthur Hill. Planning many separate successful parties and one big All- Language party, the language department as well as others depended upon the two school orchestras for music. Dick Blackwell and his band pictured here includes Bill Phillips, Dick Duclos, Roger Pierce, Roger Jacobi, Clark Ardern, Lyle Emeott, Leonard Anaman, Harold Forsythe and Jack Dersch. Harold Miller with his musical stylists in the middle picture includes Don Zoellner, Art Heimburger, Harold Sandow, jack Bruske, Norman Pockran and Bob Fellows. Pictured at the bottom in the Conga Line at the Sombrero Swing are, left to right: Charles Spiekerman, Anna jean Toman, Dick Schust, Betty Ann Young, Kenneth Mclntyre and Vonnie Yntema. Gossip at any other time would be as simple as the ABC's, but when one is speaking four different languages it should be quite difhcult. Despite this fact, we find in the top picture at the far right, Fraulein Coila S. Start, Magistra Gertrude E. Turner, Mademoiselle Mary F. Lewis and Senorita Helen Spag- nuola who seem to be progressing amiably. LATIN Besides studying their conjugations and vocabularies, the Latin classes enjoyed translating and singing popular songs, arranging bulletin boards about various countries, finding the derivation of words and performing skits and reading poems and novels. Engrossed in the activities of Caesar are seated left to right, Esther Fultz, Robert Braun, Sally Graebner, stand- ing, Kenneth Greenleaf, Donald Sperling and Jessie-May Ahrens. The members of the newly organized Inter-Amicos have in- cluded in their meetings both educational and social features Celebrating National Latin Week, March 51 through April 7, all Latin students of Arthur Hill did their part by entering a school essay contest on the subject How Latin Has Benefitec Me. jim Stenglein, IOA, with his Dead Language received an award of one dollar and Margaret Gillespie, llA, 50 cents. SPANISH Through the year, Spanish classes have given reports, radio broadcasts, translated popular songs, played Spanish keno and worked out Spanish versions of folk tales besides studying vocabularies and conjugations. The Spanish Club enjoyed movies, a travelogue on Mexico by Mrs. George W. Francis, luncheons, typical Spanish holidays and the planning of the second annual Sombrero Swing. FRENCH For students who like the picturesque, French is the lan- guage. On passing room 228 one may hear the coquettish voice of Yvette singing a popular French favorite chorused by the French class. Members of Le Cercle Francais spent most of their time knitting and raising money for refugees, participating in the All-Language Party and the radio broadcast. GERMAN Acting out skits, reading poems and novels, practicing pro- nunciation and enunciation, that is the schedule of the German classes. The German Club again industriously sold book covers to 24 the students and raised enough money to help purchase six more etchings for the school corridor.
