C naiidk MR. JUDD ' When I was in Europe . . MR. WARNER My wife didn ' t give me lunch money. Each student at Longmeadow High School patticipates in a comprehensive English program designed to develop and improve his composition, speech, and thought. Literary appreciation is in- troduced early to freshmen through the study of the short story and through generous samplings of world literature. The development of American literary and philosophical thought is traced in the sophomore year. To instill an un- derstanding of alien culture, the jun- ior classes concentrate on representa- tive English literature and thought. To complete a world survey, important literary works of various ages and na- tions compose the curriculum of senior English. MRS. WANEGAR Be careful what you want, you might get it. 12 MR. BARNUM I don ' t make the rules. I ' m not running a popularity contest.

MRS. LEAB Let ' s not have a knock-down 1 . drag-out fight! MRS. ALONZO BeQ-U-I-E-T! An excellent staff of instructors provides Longmeadow High School with its fine com- prehensive language curriculum. An inter- ested student may complete four years of either Latin or French. Each course gives insight to another age, culture, and tongue and creates respect for other people ' s ideas and customs. The first two years of each language concentrates on the mechanics of expression and pronunciation. The third and fourth years of study offer a broader scope of history and philosophy through the study of literary works of the greatest men of France and Rome. One language studies an ancient civilization, the other opens a path to a contemporary country. MR. HOULE Let ' s we correct our homework papers.
