Such men must have not only a vision of what life should be, but also of what life has been and is. Because of the close rela- tionship between literature and life,-for literature is life interpreted by the seer,- the study of literature will do much for the person who comes to it with open mind and open heart. In this study ideas and aspirations are presented which are already potential in the mind of the student, and thus their influence is deepened and made more vital. The youth is lead out into the great brotherhood of man, his horizon is widened, his vision is clarified, and he begins to see the beauty of a life of service. Then by the study of composition, oratory, and debate, the power of self-expression is gained, and the student is fitted to do that of which he dreams. LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT N the olden days it was Hamo- amamus-amatusn and Mich habe- du hast- er hata' that we heard the language student mutter as he passed along the hall. Today it is uBuenos diasn and NBonjour that is spoken in cheerful greeting. P' ' ' . The war, of course, gave French ,V1 -1.-M its great popularity in all our schools rv f . as well as making the German lan- 'Al Q it guage an outcast. Latin has been a gig dying language for a good many . years except to those who are special- izing as language students, although LUCILLE H PNSONNAULT RUBEHTA oLDs , , , S,,,,,,,-Sh we will all agree that it has its values. 1'lfCIll'llj Physical Tfllillillg for Girls The French classes in our school are organized into a club. At its meetings French plays are studied. It is the study of Spanish, however, which is given especial attention at present. The language is studied from the standpoint of the South American and is learned by the conversation method making its use practical. Interesting programs in Span- ish give spice and variety to the monotony of the necessary study. South America is fast becoming an important part of the world and in order to be friendly with her and to be good business associates it is necessary for the North American people to know the Spanish language as its southern neighbors speak it. Many who study Spanish take it up with the hope of going some day to South Amer- ica as correspondents, secretaries in business establishments, or as managers of such establishments, and we believe some even aspire to the consulship. 23
