In the senior year, students may elect English Literature, which is college preparator , or Public Speaking. An upperclassman may also select to take a year of Journalism, which class publishes the school paper Bel-Hi News . It is the aim of the department to give each stu- dent a basic knowledge of grammar, skill in com- munication, and a knowledge and appreciation of literature. Four years of foreign language are offered, two of Latin and two of Spanish. These courses give an opportunity to learn how a language is constructed, the idiom of a new language, and a factual and cultural knowledge of another country and people. MISS RUTH BOWMAN M. A. .
