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.

To complete a student ' s secondary education the history department offers several basic courses. The first year is divided equally between a study of the three major levels of the American governmental system and a study of the geography of the -world. In the sophomore year, a detailed study of the development of western civilization is offered. A comprehensive course in American history is required of all jun- iors. In the final year, seniors may elect Modern Problems, a course covering the major political, social, and economic problems of America. Senior students showing aptitude and interest in Ameri- can history may substitute for Modern Problems a Contemporary Civilization course which is a study of international relations. This history program is de- signed and administered to develop an understanding of the world, its people and its problems, and to emphasize the continuity of history. MR.
