THE LANTERN 17 MATHEMATICS For mental gymnastics we have the Mathematics Department. For the most part, Algebra and Geometry are required subjects and are taken because the course dictates so. However, the student who is really in- terested in mathematics may continue and take advanced algebra, solid geometry and trigonometry. During this semester, the Math department has kept itself before the stu- dent's eye by running a problem of some sort in the Weekly every week. These attracted quite a bit of attention among all the students, especially those who wished to exercise their keen minds. LANGUAGES One could become quite a linguist if he wished to take all that the Language Department offers, for we have French, Spanish, German and Latin. Stepping into one of the French classes one would be justified in imagining he were in Paris after he had heard how glibly the students take to the French- man's language. Presto! Was that a quick change? It does seem as if we are in the land of toreadors and bull-lights, but don't worry, we are only in one of the many Spanish classes to be found at Hibbard. The students seem to succeed quite well in bringing the atmosphere of Spain to Hibbard. Vas iss das ? No airplane could go quite so fast. In Germany is where we apparantly are now, but don't be surprised if I say the work of the German classes here, has led us to believe we were in the land of Schiller and Heine. Adsum, Caesar. No, we arenlt in the Latin quarters of Heaven but in the Latin classes of Hibbard where the teachers in charge are doing their best in bringing declensions and conjugations, Caesar and his army, Cicero and his senators, and Aeneas with his gods and goddesses before the students. So you see a trip through the Language Department reveals quite a number of interest- ing things. Here are two contributions: one from a Latin student and the other from a French class. AD ASTRA PER ASPERA T here is an idea prevalent among high school students that Latin is a bug- bear, of great value in improving one's mind, but never to be enjoyed thoroughly. It is only through perseverance that the erroneous notion is ultimately removed Qrom students' minds. Many difficulties present themselves to the little Freshie and Galba est agricola seems an almost insurmountable obstacle in the path to the star of attainment, four years of Latin. The first year of Latin grammar and ufabulae facilesf' having been com- pleted, the sophomore turns ,to reading all about Caesar in Gallia. Then, indeed, do the gerunds and supines daze his mind, and, alas, the res militaria of the ancient Roman general almost conquers the minds of the girls, not martially inclined. Yet the trials of Sophomore Latin are somewhat lightened by the truly interesting accounts of Caesar's marvelous deeds, and there is al- ways the promise of even better stories to be read in thejdim far oif days of Senior Latin.

tgp, yy pg 'PHE 1..1xN'1'ERN , I' . . . f i i SHOP zuzcrmc ART ROOM The Sewing Department has made many lovely things in the way of cloth- ing and making over old clothes. They have taken time to study the home and see the necessary interior decorations and try to make some, in order to Deautifv the proposed home. i ln the future the girls are planning to have a style show and display some of the lovely things they have made. TECH NICAL For those who wish to take technical subjects, there is the Teclmical course which includes work in the wood-shop, print shop, auto shop, electric shop, and mechanical drawing. This course is a foundation for further work in college or purely technical schools. These technical departments are more important to the school as a whole than one would imagine at hrst thought. The print-shop boys, do practically all the printing needed in school, especially putting out the XVeekly. The wood- shop and electrical boys take care of some of the stage-settings and electrical effects used in any of the performances given at school, always meeting with the approval of everyone. A R T ln every course except the Pharmacy, Art is a required subject. Two years of it are all that are necessary for graduation. However, in the Special Arts Course, Art is taken all four years, besides such subjects as History of Art and special art. The special art classes make practically all the posters used around school. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Since all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so it is that in order to sharpen our wits we exercise our bodies by Physical Education. Gymnasium, although a minor, is required as long as one stays in high-school, thus giving us no chance to become dull through lack of exercise. NVhat is to be done each semester is fully outlined. Everyone takes part in the regular Gym classes while those who especially like athletics join either the B. A. A. or G. A. A. or get on some of the teams. So with all these opportunities to oil the brain through exercise of the body there is no reason why anyone should be dull at Hibbarct.
