The only small thing about them is their stature, as their heart, soul, and mind would fill a six-footer. They are sweet, natural, sincere, and full of pep . Grade I will dance their way through life, and play their way into the hearts of all.

Sixteen unknown quantities make up the third grade. They are very sweet, very loving, and very trying sometimes. These boys and girls look at you with very bright eyes when you are discussing Modern Arith- metic or vowels sounds with them. From their intelligent questions about these subjects you are convinced that each one is a brain , but when you have checked the tests, it is obvious that spring has sprung . Be that as it may, they are loyal and trustworthy--every one of them—and, in their way, very hard work ers. With these qualities, I am sure that they will be among the alert and outstanding citizens of tomorrow.

Although they have had a great deal of fun, they have learned much with the help of Mrs. DuRant.

LANGUAGE Spanish LEFT TO RIGHT - Teacher Mrs. Hidy, Willis Boykin, John Larkin. Through the study of language, much can be learned about other ways of life, and this is the first step to- ward international understanding, and eventually world peace. Joseph Kershaw Academy is one of the few schools which has recognized the importance of this knowledge with an intensive Spanish program beginning in the third grade for all students. The Spanish vocabulary and grammar are offered along with the history and customs of the various Spanish speaking countries. Latin Left to right - STANDING: Ruth Boykin, Cathy Creed, Meta Beard, Pud West, Ted Parker, Mrs. HalL Latin I was offered this year for the first time to the seventh and eighth grades of Joseph Kershaw Acad- emy. This was the first year any of us had had Latin. Mrs. Irma Hall, our teacher, introduced us to the so-called dead language and proved it to be far from dead . All of us thoroughly enjoyed our introduction to Latin and anxiously look forward to continuing it next year.
