CTlcacfemics a Cj nerson Our ScJioo Mass confusion reigned at the beginning of this academic year with the addition of a 7-minute regis¬ ter meeting. A new time schedule bewildered stu¬ dents and faculty during the first few weeks of the new school year. When routine was finally establish¬ ed, Emersonians buckled down to a year of study¬ ing and learning, finding it could be both interesting and challenging. The freshmen were introduced to biology, algebra, and some even tackled French, Spanish, or Latin. The sophomores discovered a whole new world in the study of world history, geometry, and that second year of foreign language. New con¬ cepts in Algebra II and an awareness of American heritage constituted a great part of the junior pro¬ gram. For the senior, the anxious awaiting of gradua¬ tion was offset by intensive assignments in govern¬ ment, economics, health and safety, and for a few, trigonometry, or advanced literature and composi¬ tion. The most difficult was preparing themselves for the future. Their effort was evident on the Honor Roll for they usually had the highest percentage of stu¬ dents listed among the four classes. Join us as we review our studies at Emerson, Our School. Government students completely absorb themselves in the latest issue of U.S. News and Wor d Reports. 21

Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking Each year as students progress through high school they obtain a knowledge of the fundamentals of English grammar. As freshmen they learn the technique of sentence structure and experience reading such novels as the The Yearling, which takes them to the fertile swamp lands of Florida and reveals the backward life of a boy named Jody. During the sophomore year, students are given a taste of poetry and view William Shakespeare ' s tragedy, Julius Caesar. Silas Warner introduces the sophs to realistic fiction and presents them with their first lesson in the Humanities. Concentrating on character analysis, the juniors dwell on Per Hansa, the rugged Norwegian pioneer of Giants in the Earth, while research work, a bibliography, at least 100 note cards, and term papers round out their junior year. As final preparation for college, students with a teacher ' s recommendation take advanced literature and composition during their senior year. With intense composition drill and the reading of poetry and literature from Sophocles to R. E. Sherwood, stu¬ dents obtain more knowledge as they prepare for the future. 22
