Courses in Latin and Spanish are offered in our foreign language department. ln the second year Latin the students transf late Caesar and Cicero. Spanish is popular at Eeitshans. During the class no one is allowed to use any other lane guage but Spanish, not even slang. These classes are capably taught by Mrs. Prugger who visited Mexico a few summers ago, where she had an opportunity to use her Spanish. .f . wmsumu-up-mMi,. ..,i.st-Q.. ,- ENGLISH We, the affirmative, insist and maintain That the negative speeches got caught in the rain. The Feitshans High School English depart- ment is the only department that teaches every single student in this school, until the close of the Iunior year. As American educators loe- lieve, a person must have a thorough back- ground of English. He should know how to express himself, both in writing and in speech: he should have a reading skill to maintain his knowledge of the world about him, To further this learning, the English department also offers a fourth year of imaginative writing and modern literature.
