These six students are receiving instruc- tion in language of sunny Spain under the guid- ance of Mrs. Florence Woodworth, who makes the daily trek to Bad Axe High School for just this one class in Spanish II. To keep the tribe informed of the do- ings of our world both past and present, young members study world history, U. S. history, and government. Students here are learning about our nation's government with Mr. Lynch's guiding influence. This is one of Mrs. Biber's three classes in English 10. Mrs. Stoner teaches two English 9 classes besides offering instruction in the langu- age of the ancient Romans, Latin. Mrs. Carter teaches two more classes in English 9, and Mrs. Lynch and Mrs. Dodge divide the remaining En- glish classes. This year, 1 1th and 12th grade En- glish students studied English literature. Most of them will long remember Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton and other English authors. This group is studying U. S. history under Mr. Renz's leadership. The teaching of world his- tory is divided between Mr. Ignash and Mr. Van- stone.
