In addition to the emphasis on conversation in the French and Spanish classes, much time is spent study- ing grammar and reading some of the literature of these two countries. In the Latin courses the emphasis is on translation rather than conversation. The translating of Caesar's GALLIC WARS coincides with the Sophomore year study oflulius Caesar in World History and English.

During our Sophomore year we study many differ- ent types of literature. SILAS MARNER and JULIUS CAESAR are traditional parts of the Sophomore pro- gram. As Juniors we delve into American literature. Reading THE SCARLET LETTER and writing our own short stories are highlights of this year. In our Senior year we center our studies around English literature. Term papers and Shakespeare are the year's outstanding aspects. Though the emphasis is usually on literature, we also study grammar in greater detail each successive year. Creative Writing, Journalism, World Literature, and Business English are other courses offered for those interested in these special fields. .W 'x'Tri1 vnouuuns ANU WR W'-JJEDL snuzns Asset at PE? N.
