Learning to Put Thoughts into Words Our English department this year was headed by Mrs. Hample, Mr. Reed, Mr. Handy, and Miss Griffith. The English teachers, this year, put forth a great deal of ef- fort preparing college bound students for their college English courses. Six weeks oral book reports and twice monthly themes are just two of the many ways in which the English teachers helped to make us more con- scientious in preparing for future occupations. Latin, taught by Miss Marshall, gives students habits and techniques that will be useful in studying other languages. By studying Latin students learn to ap- preciate the historical and cultural significance of the Roman civilization. Latin has important educational values because of its exactness. The Latin student learns to derive the meanings of English words from the related Latin. Mrs, Hampel added a new way of studying English this year, Through the aid of a movie screen and records the students learn about English construc- tion. How to spell is important for everyone to know how English literature was studied by the Senior Literature to do well. The students of Miss Griffith's Literature classes this year.
