“Oh, I know you know that,’ says Mrs. Marcuson. “Come on. ‘For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams . . .’ da-da-da-da-da-da.” Prose, poetry, essays, nouns, verbs, prepositions and many other words have a familiar ring to us. And why shouldn’t they? English is the one subject we have through all of high school. No matter how it is scr ambled, there is litera- ture one semester and grammar the other. This year speech was added to the curriculum at Hugue- not. The seven pupils enrolled in September rapidly grew to 25 within a few weeks, and the course is expected to expand even more next year. Mrs. Anderson and Rosemary Clifton look over the English projects dealing with the unit on Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar. 13 ‘eal Ea In the first long oration of the year, Susanna Schutrumpf tells the speech class about pixies and the other “wee people,’ while Mrs. Waymack takes notes on Suzanna’s talk.

The world is becoming so much smaller — one lunch es in Madrid, dines in Paris, and returns to New York the next morning. The people of the world who were once quite re- mote find themselves in each others “backyard.” As the size ot the world shriaks, we find that one must have a knowledge. of the language, customs, and histories of other peoples. Huguenot, awakened to the need for this knowledge, has provided a comprehensive language program. ‘Two years of Spanish and French are offered along with three years of Latin. Usually Latin is taken in the first years of high school 4 in order to prepare for the modern languages taken in the Junior and Senior years. In addition, Huguenot is fortunate in having a language laboratory to stress the oral phase of foreign languages as well as the written part. 14
