RODNEY A. SELL BERNICE GILMORE GAYLE MEACHAM THELMA PERKINS MARGARET A. RIES Detention Jr. Classical League Lacrosse Detention Basketball Language During his three years at Haverford, a student is introduced to the works of Poe, Irving, Chaucer, Shake- speare, Milton, and many other great literary names. This is all accomplished by our fine English Department. ln his sophomore year, the student is introduced to World Literature, taught by the Misses Abernathy, Gallo- way, and Helbig. In the junior year, American Literature, under the auspices of Miss Jones, Miss Ott, Mr. Crispin, and Mr. Leute, dominates the scene. English Literature, which constitutes the major part of senior English, is taught by the Misses Brown, Nickerson, and Pike. All in all, after completing the English courses at Haverford, the student has had training in the use of English grammar and vocabulary, and has a working knowl- edge of world literature. Do you have a secret yearning to travel to Europe, or do you hope to go to South America one day? Well, no matter where you choose to travel abroad, a knowledge ot the French, German, and Spanish languages is a neces- sity. Haverford offers a two year program in these three languages. Miss Meacham presides over the French classes, Mr. Sell is in charge of the German classes, and the Misses Perkins and Ries teach Spanish. Perhaps you are interested in ancient Rome and the Latin language. ln that case, Miss Gilmore is the person to see. Latin at H.H.S. is taught for four years. With such a varied linguistic program, the students of H.H.S. can become acquainted with the basic language techniques of the world's fundamental languages.
