Mrs. Reeva Nankivel, senior English teacher, explains the new lesson to Bonnie Chadderdon. English Classes Combine Language, Logic, and Literature “Let’s listen to this new song, Miss Marsh.’’ The English language, both grammar and literature, was the subject of much study at CHS during the 1969- 70 school year. The freshmen, with Mrs. Charlotte Cadwell, Mrs. Mary Keller, Mrs. Grace Winter, and Jill Marsh as teachers, were taught a general course in grammar as well as a sampling of a variety of literature including A Tale of Two Cities and Romeo and Juliet as major literary works. The sophomores, with Mrs. Mary Keller as teacher, augmented their knowledge of English with a course in speech as well as a more advanced course in literature which in- cluded Silas Marner and Julius Caesar. Under the direction of Jill Marsh, the juniors at CHS continued their English education with a study of American literature and a course in grammar. The Grapes of Wrath and Red Badge of Courage were among the novels studied. The seniors terminated their study of high school English with a course in English literature, grammar, and composition. Hamlet was one of the major literary works read in the senior English class, which was taught by Mrs. Reeva Nankivel. 22

Mrs. Nankivel and her Latin class work diligently at translating a Latin story. Students Become Bilingual “Vamos a hablar espanol” is the theme of the Spanish classes. Following the theory of ‘learn by doing’, as much spoken Spanish as possible is practiced in the first and second year level classes. In addition to the practice drills, original conver- sations and short dialogs are used. For diversion and reading practice, Spanish short stories have proven interesting. Both Spanish I and II were taught by Mrs. Charlotte Cadwell. Latin, taught by Mrs. Reeva Nankivel, is a base for other languages such as Spanish. Thus Latin has been offered only as a one year course to prepare students for other language courses. Members of both the Latin and Spanish classes are further aided in study by enjoyment from the Latin and Spanish clubs. Demonstrating the new language lab are Barb Garris and Mary Casey.
