Trained to skillful work with wood, metal, type, and machines are those fortunate enough to enter this de- partment. Mr. MACMILLIN AND RONNY LOOK ON WHILE AL PUNCHES THE KEYS. LATIN DEPARTMENT Small in size but mighty in Influence, the Latin department ably directed by Miss Perkins qualifies us to meet any Latin crisis. . . . Latin language and life come alive and the toga in the public square something more than lines in a book. . . .
