ENGLISH: MEANS OF EXPRESSIO, Communication is a vital part of our world. To prepare students for future needs, Latin School offers a four year English course. Mrs. Joan Peirce, head of the department, Mrs. Faye Sabik, and Mrs. Elaine Wag- goner, teach various aspects of the subject. Freshmen concentrate on grammar and sentence structure, while Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors focus on literature, composition, and vocabulary. This all-around emphasis on the forms of the English language prepares a Latin School student for almost any aspect of communication. Also, with three sharp teachers, the program has a great opportunity to expand even further into the realms of communi- cation.

THE KEY IS COMMUNICATION This year at Latin School, Fr. Knueven and Mrs. Sabik have developed the foreign language classes with some new approaches to learning. Fr. Knueven teaches Latin to all classes, freshmen thru seniors. His knowledge of the Language and ability to teach makes this so-called dead language seem much more alive. Mrs. Sabik employed a new series of textbooks for all of her french classes. These books have proved a great asset in learning new verb forms and vocabu- lary. Both teachers are experienced in their fields, and make the language department interesting and worthwhile.
