Many Zook Canguages Languages play an important role in a person's edu- cation. EHS offers its students both Latin and Spanish, thus, giving pupils a choice in fulfilling their language requirement. Mrs. Marcella Stitt taught four grade levels of Latin. Latin I pupils studied the basic structure of the language. After completing their study of grammar, Latin II students begin reading Caesar. Latin III and IV students alternated each year, translating either Cice- ro or Vergil. The Spanish classes, taught by Wilbur Hogg, studied the make up of the Spanish language, emphasizing the conversational idiom. In addition to this, Spanish II students acquired a knowledge of the geography and customs of the Spanish speaking countries. MARCELLA STITT, B. A. , M. A. Latin 7

English Pushed Pupils Students learn the art of communication through their English compositions and the ageless literary works. Nancy Johnson's English I pupils expanded their knowledge of literature and grammar as they read the works of Dickens, Shakespeare and Sand- burg. Sophomores, under die supervision of Mary Hildenbrand, perused die worlds of Jane Eyre, Julius Caesar, and Olan. The English II students read nu- merous short stories, drama, poetry, and non-fiction selections. They also received an introduction to or- ganized theme construction. Highlights of Chris Hildebrand's discussions with his English III classes centered around such American literary movements as transcendentalism, puritanism, realism, natural- ism and existentialism. Students saw the emotional drives of man in Melville's Ahab and learned to appreciate the beauties of a simple life through the writings of Thoreau. For the seniors of Mary Hilden- brand's English IVclasses it was write, write, write ! They traced the development of English thought and imagery in eight literary periods, covering all forms of writing. They wrote a seemingly endless number of themes and somehow managed to complete a lengthy research paper. CHRIS HILDENBRAND, B. A. , M. A. English II,in Ancient History MARY HILDENBRAND, B. S. , M.
