When Sophomores begin saying Friends Romans . . we know that Julius Caesar is mighty yet! Juniors study American Literature and such famous poets as Sandburg and Frost. Seniors struggle with Chaucer and the many periods of English Literature. But let us not forget there must be grammar too. Who could forget those term papers!

Amo- Amare - A- Wliat! Foreign Language First year Latin students tackled vocabu- laries and verb conjugations with enthusiasm. They especially enjoyed seeing Julius Caesar and translating the Latin phrases. Second year French students learned many facts about France through films and tried to improve their pro¬ nunciation by listening to tapes and records . One of their biggest projects was translating Jules Verne’s AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS. The members of both classes enjoyed writing to foreign pen pals. Mrs. Price the foreign language teacher points out some French. French students listen attentively while Joe Bill Brown dreams of French girls.
