Class Rooni The English course, which is a combination of grammar, composition, English and American Literature, is perhaps the most important and use- ful of the academic studies. This year a class in speech has been very effective. Miss Powers and her Sophomores in English. Latin is the only foreign language now of- fered. It proves very beneficial to students be- cause of grammar and word derivation, and it provides a thorough foundation for the study of English and foreign languages. Latin of today is more practical in that many likenesses to modern times are suggested in the modern Latin text books. Advanced Latin students under Miss Karns. All Freshmen are required to take biology. They not only have class work but also study specimens of plant and animal life in the labora- tory. Practical applications are made which are beneficial toward healthful living. Mr. Ratliff directs laboratory work in biology. Algebra, advanced arithmetic, plane and solid geometry are included in the course in mathe- matics. A knowledge of any of these is helpful to those students who are interested in furthering their education in the fields of engineering or science. Mr. Bolander explains quadratics to Freshmen.
