CROSWELL HIGH SCHOOL NINETEEN TWENTY-FIVE English The work in the English department is in charge of Miss Fuller and Miss Gray. Miss Fuller’s phase of the work is English 9, while under Miss Gray’s supervision are the following subjects: English 10, English literature, American literature, and public speaking. The English 9 work during the first se- mester was devoted to a review of eighth grade grammar. Aside from this, the class made a detailed study of the play “Julius Caesar.” Five book reports and a decla- mation are required in the Freshmen Eng- lish work. During the second semester, letter writ- ing has been emphasized. The study of the classic, “The Lady of the Lake,” has received much attention, and along with this, the class has made a study of Scotch poems. A big feature of the second semester work is the presentation of a program, which is essentially Scotch, including playlets and scenes from “The Lady of the Lake,” ar- ranged by members of the class. The courses in both English 9 and 10 have been improved by the addition of vocation- al work. The object of this is to help the student find the place for which he is real- ly fitted. The first semester, this work was accomplished in the English 10 class by the writing of themes, on vocations, in general. For the second semester project, each stu- dent has selected a special vocation and all his themes are written along that line. Another phase of vocational guidance is the vocational talks which have been given by outside speakers, from time to time. Special work in Miss Gray’s classes have been the book reports, eight of which are required for the two semesters. An oration or declamation was substituted for one of these reports. The students are guided in their reading by library lists, which in- clude fiction, biographies, short stories and poetry. The book reports which were not written in outline form, but in that of a story have usually been read in class. In English and American literature work, the selections have been studied along with the biographies of the various writers. These classes, as well as the English 10 class, have kept notebooks, an interesting phase of which has been the so-called “scrap book.” In this, modern poetry, articles of interest to literature students and pictures concerned with the subject are placed. A number of special reports have been given from time to time on modern authors and poets. A rather different type of work is empha- sized in the Public Speaking Class. The fact that the class is small seems to have been an asset, for those enrolled in the course have made a marked improvement in the organization and delivery of their speeches. Much time and attention was de- voted to a study of the after-dinner speech. A study of the drama and its place in the High School has been the dominant feature of the work the second semester. The Language Department The Language department of C. H. S. consists of two courses, the ancient lang- uage, Latin and the modern, French. The Latin department is open to Fresh- men and Sophomores and French to Juniors and Seniors. The Freshman course of Lat- in consists of the study of Smith’s Latin grammar, and the translation of short Lat- in stories. The Sophomore course offers the translation of Caesar’s commentaries or Gallic Wars into English. However, one day a week is given over to the transla- tion of English sentences into Latin, the vocabulary of whichi is ba ed upon the Caesar. This year the department presented be- fore the assembly a play entitled, “A Roman Wedding,” by means of which old Roman customs were pictured to us. As a change from the daily routine we had the pleasure of working out one of Mr. Rieman’s renown- ed Latin cross word puzzles, Georgia Mc- Taggart winning first prize and Jerry Phil- lips, second. French was introducted in C. H. S. three years ago. French I is the study of fifty lessons in the Aldrich-Foster-Roule French grammar. The first semester is devoted to the study of grammar four days, and a conversational lesson one day each week. The second semester of the first year is a continuation of the grammar with the translation of the French story “Sans Fam- ille” and conversational lessons, based upon the story. The last month is devoted to the reading of the French paper, “Le Petit Journal.” In French II, two days a week are spent on completing the grammar and three days are given to the study of French litera- ture. A number of extracts of French lit- erature are memorized, such as “The Lord’s Prayer,” and “The Marseillaise.” Both an oral and a written examination are given in the last semester of French II. The oral examination usually takes the form of a French play. Paso Twenty-fivB
