Twenty years ago they said that there wasn't going to be any more Latin in another few years, but we still see pupils struggling over ir- regular verbs and saying nrosa, rosae, rosae,n But seriously, Latin is really useful. It helps the student to under stand English better, and also any other language he studies. English is half Latin, and French, Spanish, and all of the other romance languages are based upon Latin. Besides Latin has a broad cultural and historical background. So, student, stick to your Latin book, and you'll never go wrong. So, until the next time, 'Va1ete Discipulil' French, one of our most interesting and cultural subjects, is being studied this year by a group of Sophomore students, under the able direc- tion of Mrs. Parker, a newcomer to Falmouth High since the departure of Mrs. Pierson. Because of her interest in and study of the French language, Mrs. Parker has been able to give us more than the standard textbook material. French I has been a class we have all looked forward to as fifty minutes of friendly and informal instruction. Many of us who have taken French this year plan to increase our knowl edge by an additional two or three years of this subject. We sincerely hope that this short and simple glimpse of French will encourage more of the students of Falmouth High to explore this fascinating language. The exotic strains of nBesame Mucho' drift through the halls of the school and everyone knows that the Spanish class has assembled for their daily poke at grammar la pain. With a cheery nBuenos Dias, Mis Amigosn, Senorita Phillips commences the day's lesson. Teodoro Vail rolls his R's and all that Arturo Hatch needs is a sombrero to make them seem like a per feet pair of Mexicans. A glance at the Spanish class, bonener, shows a group of industrious students, endeavoring to master the art of nHow to Speak Spanish.n This does not seem to be such a bad idea in view of the fact that the language is becoming more and more important. Let us hope that Spanish will remain in the curriculum of Falmouth High School in the years to come. 59, C EWR 1' iii..

English literature is intended to develop a knowledge of the thought and spirit of the important literary periods and to train the students in literary judgment. The aim of the English Department is to train students to think clearly and logically and to write and speak correctly and effective- ly. Logical thought and clear expression are fundamental to any kind of work. Perhaps never before have the times called so urgently for straight-forward thought. No less urgent is the demand for a reason- able amount of skill in oral and written expression. In war and peace alike sound thinking and intelligible expres- sion of thought lie at the very foot of effective endeavor. We feel that we have had a very successful and enjoyable year under the supervision of Miss Phillips. ,CN fixup Qafpfi, ,EMQWE ,f.Q.l' ,724

History - destiny: These words change the events of today into records of tomorrow, and here in our glorious America the motto that nRight makes Mightn is being brought to life hour by hour. Our American history class at Falmouth High is giving us all a clear and lasting picture of the foundation and hard-earned success of our strong democratic nation. Such chapters as discovery of America, its growth, place among nations, influence on our lives and character, industry, educational growth, and battle for justice and intelligent progress are taught us by our very interesting and well-liked teacher, Hrs. Mary Parker. To link the living of today with the history of yes- terday our current event topics and discussions form a very important part of our class recitations. Surely, we pupils of 1944 are living in a most his- torical year with the heroic bravery of our American men at war in all parts of the world in defense of the justice and freedom our United States represents. It is bringing history, as a study, very close to our classroom, when we realize that our graduates of yesterday and our classmates of today will portray the history les- sons taught in their determined desire to forever protect our nLand of the Free and the Home of the Braven.
