Foreign Languages g :Figs WSJ HE Foreign Languages taught in the Burlington High School are among the most important and helpful subjects in later 10' if L life. A two-year course in Spanish, two years of French ,I and four of Latin are given in the department. Spanish, al- though only recently introduced into the course, has become one of the most interesting and successful studies in the school. Miss Velma Ewalt has proved a most capable instructor of this language. French has been taught for some years, and with Miss Fan Lilly as faculty representative, it has developed into a very interest- ing course and one which is appreciated by the students taking it. 2-s..'vf4-ol Latin is probably the most stressed of the three. The four years include a study of elementary Latin, Cesar, Cicero and finally Virgil. The first two years are very popular with students, but the full course is usually chosen only by those expecting to major in languages in college. Every student expecting to follow his high school wiork with a college course is compelled to take at least two years of one of these languages, since practically all colleges in the middle west demand two years of a language before entrance. On the whole, it is a very helpful and necessary course. The languages are most interesting and are especially popular with the more studious pupils. Page Twenty-one l

In addition to this the girls serve at various banquets and take care of the club rooms in the school. The department is Wonderfully equipped with the best facilities pos- sible. In addition to regularly equipped cooking and sewing rooms the girls have access to a model laundry, bedroom and dining room. Every girl learns the essential principles of good housekeeping, sew- ing and cooking. Also, the girls have a great privilege in being able to make themselves many necessary articles of clothing while in their classes. These are the principal studies, but, in addition, the girls must take other subjects, too, in order to prepare them to meet life fully developed in lines other than domestic science. . Our high school cafeteria is also under the supervision of Miss Edna Burhans. .This cafeteria is one of the finest of its kind' and is patronized by the majority of the students.

LOHMANN. University of Wiscons' Bradley Polytechnical Insti- tute, Manual Training NE of the most valuable andhbeneficial branches of our high if school 1S the.Manua1 Tn?1n1ng Department. It .is divided 5: figggif into several different sect ons, such as Wood-working, Print- ing, Mechanical Drawing, Molding and Cabinet Making. It O CIW? is under the leadership of .a very efficient instructor, and J 'NNW has done a notable piece of Work in every field with which it has come in contact. Boys who do not desire to indulge in the 'Sciences and Languages prepare for factory and architectural work. Many boys have received recognition just after leaving high school due to their valuable study in this line. One of the things that has made this possible is the equipment that is used. Latest and most efiicient ma- chines are provided and through careful guidance the products are of great merit. On the whole, the Manual Training Department, with its fine in- structors, is a very well directed and popular phase of the Burlington High School curriculum. Since this book has gone to press, this department has lost its leader, Mr. Barnes. As supervisor of industri.al education. in the city, as in- structor of psychology and engineering drawing in the Junior College, and as chairman of the high school' Athletic Association, he touched many lives. A man of ability, vision, and understanding, the students of Burlington High School will miss Mr. Barnes, both as an instructor and as a friend. Page Twenty-two
