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.

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.
