Communication Concepts Latin and Spanish were the two foreign languages offered at Hauser. Mrs. Nancy Wagner instructed the Latin Courses, and Mrs. Joyce Isreal taught Spanish. Students taking Spanish learned not only to read and to translate the language, but with the aid of the language lab, they also learned how to converse. Conversations presented in Spanish by the students improved their skill in speaking the language. Latin students worked hard translating stories of Roman mythology and studying the history of the people. They also made projects concerning life in Roman times. Students discovered that many English words and expressions were derived from Latin, proving that it is not such a dead language after all. The New English program began with students studying both literature and grammar throughout the year. The senior English classes, taught by Mrs. Nancy Wagner and Mr. Gerald Jordan, worked on compositions with diligence. Mr. Jordan’s Junior English classes wrote term papers and book reports. American literature was also studied and discussed during the year. Films on famous American authors were shown. Speech class under Mrs. Wickens offered an opportunity for developing poise and acquiring the ability to speak properly. The students increased their vocabularies and prepared for public speaking in future years. HERE IT IS ...

Established Careers Home Economics Courses readied girls for future careers as homemakers. They were drilled in saving time and preparing attractive meals for their families. The seventh and eighth grade Home Economics classes experienced the problems of seams, materials, and weaves during their first semester under a new teacher, Mrs. Shaw. Hauser students took advantage of the many varied business courses available to them. Most junior and senior girls enrolled in Shorthand I and II to prepare them for secretarial careers. Business Machines taught by Mr. Wickard is a course in which seniors applied mathematics to business. Students were constantly busy memorizing the keyboards in Business Machines and Typing I. Proving cash and debits and credits were some of the many problems faced by Bookkeeping students under the supervision of Mrs. G. Webster. In Typing II, also taught by Mrs. Guyneth Webster, the students continued to build their speed. Typing business forms, and columnar typing were important parts of production in this class.
