 Classrooms Are Scenes of Learning The French classes spent the first half of the year studying French grammar. The second half was devoted to reading the literature of France. During the year students frequently used the French language laboratory. The second year class is shown enjoying a game of French word cards, a welcome break from the daily studies. English IV classes spent an entire semester studying and putting into practice good speech habits. Here Mary Daugherty is demonstrating the proper use of visual aids during a speech. Second semester classtime was divided between English literature and a basic grammar review. In addition to the day-to-day class assignments, about every ten days themes on various topics were due. English II classes devoted the first semester to studying grammar. During this time a book review was due every six weeks. Jim Lamb, while giving an oral report, is using a map to point out the route taken by the men of the KON TIKI. The final semester, sophomore students read the classics, IDYLLS OF THE KING, JULIUS CAESAR, SILAS MARNER, and TALE OF TWO CITIES, in addition to a variety of short stories.
