This division il ITHOUT doubt there is no part of the high school curriculum that has as much offers three branches of studyg namely, Latin, French, and Spanish. g The Latin students are offered a four year course under the teaching of both Miss . Mabel Shafer and Miss Mary Lindeman. During the Iirst year, classes are drilled in the , elementary principles and prepared for more advanced studies. In the second year the exploits of Czesar are studied. Due to the limited number of students who continue Latin, ' the study of Cicero and Vergil is alternated every year. 2 i 1 1 Of the modern languages, the French department offers the longer course of study. i Two years are required for credit, but a third year may be elected. During the tirst and F' second years a thorough elementary training with supplementary reading is given. The third year is devoted mainly to the reading of famous French works by such authors as 1 Hugo, llumas, Bazin, Halcvy, and Merrime. 4 's ,i i l The Spanish course embraces a period of two years and is much like the French course in the manner of instruction. Spanish is becoming more popular each year, and there is 3 a marked increase of pupils, according to Miss Katherine Stivanson, the instructor. More students are taking Latin than any of the other languages, since it is compulsory i to Academic students, and since most of the Scientilic students elect it as their language requirement. The purpose of the language department is to give the students a full appreciation of Q conditions that existed in ancient tunes, and those which exist in foreign countries today. .'
