English The English courses of our high school from junior high to senior high are the backbone of all our scholastic work. We realize the need for eloquence in and understanding of our mother tongue. We have five teachers in this department who lead us in our adventures with grammar and the literature of our own and other countries. The freshman and sophomore years are divid- ed evenly between literature and grammar. Themes and book reports are some extras re- quired. ln the junior and senior years, the study is confined to literature, American and English respectivelyg but in the senior year a review of grammar is presented. Busy people in Mr. Huston's Freshman English class. Miss McGreevey's Literature class checking book reports. Sophomores practicing sentence structure in Miss Hathaway's English class. Page Nine

Mathematics The mathematics courses in our high school are design- ed to give the student a fundamental and stable platform from which he may step into various professions. These courses are based on the idea that each person meets problems in everyday life that require a knowledge of mathematical procedures. Our school also realizes that the study and examination of these somewhat complicated methods gives a keenness and brilliance of reasoning power that can be obtained in very few other courses.

Languages Above-A French lesson with Mrs. Griner. The language courses in our high school are both classic- al and modern. The two years of Latin are designed to give the students a wider cultural background and a bet- ter understanding of English vocabulary. The modern languages, Spanish, French and German, are conducted in the interest of work friendship and relations. These language courses are for the most part elective but there are usually quite a number of students eager to take one of them in a college preparatory course. This study of language not only aids in world friendship but is also a good reasoning and thinking process builder.
