Said techer Miss Morylou ULlirth, By learning about the times the outhors lived in. the students were better able to under- stand the authors' writings.

The soph- omore American Literature group did a section on folklore and read such works os Huckleberry Finn and The Great Gatsby. The French deportment expanded with an influx of over 70 students . It was the largest number of students I’ve taught in 11 years of teaching, said Mr. Sill. The sophomore speech class spent the first semester studying communication and the second semes- ter writing speeches. They gave a variety of different presentations, ranging from information to persua- sive speeches. The favorite, how- ever, was the demonstrative speeches because, as Mary Ohnoutka said, They were the most interest- ing. Lots of people showed how to cook things, and we got to sample the results.
