HTCIDMIQEMMKUNCEU One outstanding activity of the Homemaking Department is the hot lunch project. The department serves nearly 100 pupils every day. On Wednesday a full lunch is served to about 45 students and 'teachers at a cost of 18d per plate. The planning of these dishes is given careful consideration. Thqy must be low in cost and at the same time, interesting and nutritious. Foods served include milk, fruits, fruit juices, cooked and raw vegetables, and also puddings and custards. Next year it is hoped that the school may have a cafeteria. This would necessitate the equipping of the large study-hall for a combined study-hall and cafeteria. There has been 1 gradual increase in the number of girls taking homemaking in high-school. This year 3575 of them are studying homemaking, but this number should be increased still more. Out of the past senior classes at least sox of the girls are now in homes of their own, or are doing house-work for someone else. These results show that more girls should take up homemaking while they are in highpschool. This year, five girls taking homemaking, attended Farm and Home Week at Cornell, where they received much inspiration for their work. Ho emaking girls often visit homes in the community to study furnishings and equipment. In this way the girls become more interested, and the actual home conditions make their work seem more of a reality. Families visited also become more aware of the department and realize the extension of the activities. The seventh and eighth grades are the beginners, but they are not inactive. They begin to sew and cook and try hard to measure up to the progress of the older girls. This year the eighth grade girls will make their own graduation dresses. The parents should be as proud of this, as the pupils themselves.

ILANQEJ UJACUJM The aims in the study of Latin are as follows: 1. To acquaint the student with Roman civilization from which many of our political and legal ideas have been inherited 2. To stimulate intellectual growth by opportunities to develop logical thinking. 3. To teach the student to take as his own, part of the experience of nearly a thousand years of history, science, literature, politics, and engineering. 4. To make lives richer through understanding the mean- ing of many Latin words, phrases, and quotations of frequent occurrence in English. 5s To teach the derivation of Latin words in English, enabling one both to understand meanings of many previously unfamiliar words and to appreciate the real meaning of many familiar words. The Department is using in French this year, for the first time, the Cleveland Plan, thereby French is the medium of instruction. The students learn French by speaking the language during the entire class period. Their prdgress is slower but their grasp of the content of the lessons studied is far more comprehensive under this plan.
