I just came from one of Miss Bernard's English classes and I surely am mixed up. Did you know there were such things in the English language? I thought there wouldn't be much in an English class that I would'n't already know. I guess the school authorities really are seeing to it that graduates of our high school are going to be well versed in our native language. English is a required course and every- body has to take at least 3 years of it. For the Senior year, a .slight variation is offered, an English Com- position Review course gives Seniors a chance to review before attempt- ing a Rhetoric class at college and a course in reading is also oifered. In this course they tell me studients spend their entire time reading and re- porting book.s. Miss Bernard heads this huge department and has five fellow teach- ers who work with her. Miss Eaton, Miss Parry, and Miss Ruttan spend their entire day teaching English classes. Mr. Russel has four English classes but takes time off to teach a class in Public Speaking. Miss Har- per abandons her journalistic activities in the afternoon to instruct two classes in Sophomore English. So if you don't get 'one of 'em , you'll get another, and they tell me that not a single .senior says ain't. Patsy Creel came dashing down the hall inquiring, Who was Aris- totle? How did she expect me, a noble senior, to remember what I learned in World History way back in my sophomore year. But don't you breathe a word to Miss Spangler. .She tried and is still trying, just as Mr. Bruce and Miss Ernst are trying to impress upon the minds of those sophomores, the importance of our old world ancestor. But from sophomores, we advance to Juniors and to a course just a l'ttle more immediately connected in our minds. After all it was not quite 200 years ago that our fore-fathers fought the Revolutionary War. Miss Davenport teaches five classes in American History, and Miss Ernst and Mr. Smith teach two apiece. From here on the job is left up to Mr. Weaver. It is his occupation to give Senior students Clike mei a thorough understanding of their government and its workings in American Government class. He has four classes each semester. It is a required subject. Civifs as a freshman from Mr, Williams or Sociology, Economics, or Occupations when a senior.. Gee! I hope I get excused from that final! Well, I went to geometry class today and tried' vainly to remember all those things Miss Newman had preached to me in General Mathe- matics and in Algebra. Things will probably dawn on me from time to time. I do hope Mr. Bailey starts out kind of easy. They tell me that Geometry has quite a historical background. They say that the Egypt- ians and Greeks played around with it about 1500 to 1700 B. C. I hope it doesn't turn out to be antique. If you really go for math in a big way, they tell me you can take any number of advanced courses under Miss Rayhill. She teaches a course in Solid Geometry and also one in Trigonometry. That sounds pretty complicated to me, but only time will tell. The Advanced Algebra course that they also offer sounds easier but for the time being, I think I'll concentrate on my triangles and rectangles. Evidently, the fairer sex is a little shy of the more advanced courses although Miss Rayhill says that she has more girls in Solid Geometry than ever before. In fact, the whole class is larger by the dozens than of former years. She also said she was quite surprised? to find three fems enrolled in the Trig. class. Well, Dear Diary, I've rambled on enough for today and I've got ten problems to do for tomorrow, so Good Night Dear Diary. Page 18
