Languages Attract Large Enrollment A large group of Latin I students began the long trek from insula to arbitraturus. Al- though Latin is no longer a spoken language, students have found it especially helpful in understanding English. Classes in Spanish were held this year on both first and second year levels. Besides learn- ing the basic fundamentals of the Spanish language, Spanish students study the culture of their adopted country. Classes are often- times conducted in Spanish, and a Spanish dinner highlights the course.

Junior Accelerated English Added in Language Arts Perhaps most basic to living in the years ahead is a thorough understanding of our language. Thus English is the course required of all students. By adding an accelerated English class for juniors to this year's curriculum, FLHS has again given students a chance to prepare themselves for college. This advanced Eng- lish course has worked especially on creative writings and literary works, placing emphasis on poetry and drama. The junior and senior accelerated English courses attempt to create a near college level course so that students will be prepared particularly for the composition skills required of them as college students. Speech includes not only the learning of speech skills, but also the study of history and presentation of drama. Highlighting this course is an extension of the speech project making it more detailed, and including a term paper and a lecture by each student. WITH THE AID OF THESE AMBITIOUS STUDENTS, MRS.

TO ASSURE THE PRACTICE OF GOOD TYPING PROCEDURES, MR. STANG KEEPS A CLOSE WATCH OVER HIS TYPING STUDENTS AS THEY TAKE A TIMED WRITING. Commercial Classes Added LEROY STANG The commercial department at FLHS was expanded this year to accommodate the increasing number of students interested in entering business as a career. By adding a half a year of typing in the freshman business course, each student learns the basic skills of typewriting. Typing is also offered as a one year elective. After taking typing, a student may enroll in office practices. This course gives the student an idea of the modern-day business office and acquaints him with the operation of various business machines. Shorthand, a two year course, builds up the speed and accuracy that are so vitally needed as a stenographer. POPCORN ANYONE? JUST SEE MR.
