anguage d puff in ver Of what use is Latin? This is a question often repeated after a ses- sion in one of the Latin classes taught by Alex L. lohnsonius. On many pub- lic buildings throughout the United States you will find a Latin inscription. Latin can't be such a dead language when it is inscribed on almost every structure of interest in our country, Spanish came alive when Miss Lu- cile Emmons taught it. Besides learn- ing to read and translate, students enjoyed a Spanish film every now and then, as well as Spanish newspapers. Last of all, what would we do with- out the knowledge of English? The freshmen worked intensely on their grammar and reading under the guid- ance of Miss Emmons, Miss Margaret L. Taylor, and Miss Eleanor A. Urban. Miss Eva M. Olson, Miss Taylor, and Miss Urban taught the sophomores es- sentials in English grammar, and lit-- erature and let them listen to record- ings of popular American folk songs, 'llulius Caesar , and other classic re- cordings. The juniors studied litera- ture and English under the supervision of Miss Emmons and lohn L, Pence while the seniors took courses in Eng- lish and literature from Mr. Pence and Miss Taylor. Many seniors also gained experience as journalists on the publi- cations, the Times and the Lock. ln L. T. I-l. S.'s well-equipped li- brary, under the supervision of Miss Margaret C. Shepherd, students were found reading autobiographies, biog- raphies, magazines, fiction, or other non-fiction books. A reading knowledge of English, together with any foreign languages we might have studied, will acquaint us with the culture of other peoples, and will reflect on our life after our school days are over. Frances Ott puts her exercises on the board. Patsy Keener, Bonnie Becker, and Edward Berard are interested in Better English . Bernard Segcxtto can't decide between Ameri- can Builder and Mademoiselle . Catherine Stcxriha is having difficulty in se lecting a book.
