O R ED C. TIO CHI ERY Como Esta Usted Reading and translating in Spanish didn't seem diflicult to second year Spanish students but talking in Spanish was a different thing. Miss l'almer, to get everyone into the spirit of the thing, christened each person with a Spanish name. The tirst day of conversing will never be forgotten. Alicia Glimc, iiixllllllhu Davis, Conchita ltilson. and lsabelita Patten tried to give and accept invitations to supper. Dolores Scheer introduced Ricardo Gardner to lZarbara Hawk, and he immediately began talking about his aviones. and it wasn't bad. Everyone was pretty bad at tirst. but with Miss Palmer's patient en- couragement things became better daily. First year Spanish students are starting right out with the conversa- tional method and are already very proficient. THE RGMAN INFLUENCE Sophomores under the capable and cheerful guidance of Mrs. Trees, struggled with the mysteries of Caesar this year. As if Caesar weren't enough, indirect discourse and the subjunctive added further complica- tions. The Latin classes were enlivened this year by the study of Roman customs, and making notebooks and maps. For Research and Fun Could you tind us a book on the Poona Islands? Each time we need information for a research theme or a term paper we rush to Miss Zimmerman, our school librarian. She is always ready to help an un- informed student. Directing Quill and Quibble, teaching Junior English and being librarian keeps Miss Zimmerman quickly darting here and there, but to all purposes she seems to be thriving on the activity. The Rook of the Month Club has nothing on our library. Anything from Steinbeck to Severesky is available. The student librarians are those indispensable people who rearrange and classify books and gather up attendance slips.

0 R DEPART E T FORE PLAN Miss Sulser conjugates! Our indispensable Mr. Hanger Miss Zaugg enlightens Junior Business Miss Palmer spreading good neighbor policy. From Gefrunds to Goldsmith lf 'twer done when 'tis done then 'twer well it were done quickly. English IX' students walked to class muttering snatches of a IOO word assignment of Macbeth. This was one of Mr. Hangers methods of keeping the class busy when the grammar books were laid aside. Second semester brought Robert Burns, Oliver Goldsmith, and a thousand word research theme. Mr. Hanger conducted this English class on college standards since it is a college preparatory course. ln addition to English IV Mr. Hanger teaches two junior English classes. These classes undertook the study of gram- mar and American literature. One of the year's big assign- ments was the requirement of several written essays. Seventh period each day Mr. Hanger must switch from literary to journalistic style for the beneht of his journalism class. This class labored over the journalistic style for the First semester. Much of the required material was used in the school paper, Hi-Life. The second semester included the study of public speaking with grueling live-minute speeches which were criticised by the rest of the class. An important part of journalism class was the production of Tha Night of January I6fhU and the senior play, Fly Away Hmnt'. ' Sophomore classes skipped blithely along under the guid- ance of Miss Zaugg, the cheery personality with a Hi Kid for everyone. They studied all the phases of personality build- ing, public speaking, and those infernal verbs. Freshman classes this year struggled with blueprints of the library and extra library work under the guidance of Miss Palmer.
