T. C. Tade Bertha Heetland Mary Cochonour J. O. Hawkins J. E. Rose Ruth Watts AMO, AMAS, AMAT . . OUI, OUI When Caesar crosses the Rubicon, and the gerundive takes its place beside the dative of possession, it's Latin time in room 12, with Miss Emily Kelley holding the floor. The day is gone when the Latin teacher was plain, hard-boiled, and dried-up. With which left-handed compliment to Miss Kelley we pass on to Miss Madeleine Anderson teaching French next door. Here the bonjour's and the oui's are mingled with a background of France and the Frenchmen. Sometimes the They Wield the French isn't so idiomatic as it might be, but the students make up with their hands and shoulders what they lack in vocabulary. NOUNS. VERBS, AND SPEECH Here they are swaying to a swing version of The Congo ; there they are taking dictation planned to help students learn to spell, punctuate, and write legibly. Here we see people reading silently for interpretation ard speed; there the teacher is stress correct usage. A debate rages wilaiy in one room; a play is being practiced in another. Book reports, character sketches, American literature, English literature . . . these make up the work of the English and speech department. Miss Madeleine Anderson, Harlan Lance, and Miss Bertha Heetland are the instructors. A survey has been made of speech defects of the students. Remedial work is being carried on in one section of freshman English. It's a far cry from the day when written work was given first, and sometimes the only place. Today oral English is emphasized though the written certainly has not been forgotten. 1492 (AND BEFORE) . . 1940 Here's the place they learn their dates, states, and fates . . . the dates of wars, the states of the Union, and the fates of many great men. With Miss Emily Kelley in ancient history, }. E. Rose in American history, and K. B. Rawlinson in modern history, civics, and economics, the history department sees that Johnny Casey takes a trip from 'way back when up to today. 1940 12

Hickory Stick of TWO PLUS TWO EQUALS FOUR When x meets y, sometimes the answer is z A divided by b might be “c. In this alphabetical game played daily in the classrooms of Miss Maurine Johnson and Miss Kathryn Hartman, the student learns how to paper walls, how fast a bird flies, how many times he has to go around the track in order to run a mile. He learns that the shortest distance 1 ween two points is a straight line u. -.ugh he doesn't always think so. Two plus two equals four, but sometimes these algebraic and geometric ladies make it five. ATOMS AND MOLECULES If you smell something bad, it's the chemistry department. If you hear a loud crash, someone has dropped a flask. If someone has had an electric shock, it may be the static machine in the physics lab. If some senior is scratching his head over a problem, it might be physics if it isn't math. When Miss Mary Huntington isn't taking care of beakers, flasks, and bunsen burners, she is supervising work in photography like the sepia print we see on the front of this book as well as many snaps on various pages. Mr. Freshman, meet general science, a nibbling course to teach you a little in science and everyday living and help you decide which science you might want to study later. Miss Huntington and Miss Kathryn Hartman are the Edison and Muir of the upper floor. 'Way down in the basement 'mid the snakes and the rats (in cages), Miss Hnouuledge Mary Cochonour does her dissecting of frogs, lizards, and such. The world today recognizes the great place science plays in both the understanding and appreciation of life, and so does Casey High. Mary L. Huntington Harlan E. Lance Walter A.
