In the sophomore clas.ses, special work in speech and readings has been assigned. One of the sopho¬ more clas.ses illustrated the correct jtarliamentary procedure for carrying on a meeting in a recent as.sembly. Pupils who have failed English 2 and 3, have been given new texts in order to keep up their interest in the work. Records of readings of great poems and plays, such as Macbeth, have also been added to the curriculum and seem to be producing satisfactory results. Perfection in our own language is the aspiration of our progressive English Department.

Under the supervision of its new head, Mr. F. Champlain Webster, Jr., the Latin Department marches on accompanied by a full force of students. Caesars, Cicero, and Virgil will long remain in our minds. An added attrac¬ tion which brings Latin study up to 1948 at¬ mosphere is the popular national classroom magazine “Auxilium Latinum.” The Modern Language Department, headed by Miss Ruth McKenney offers French and German to the students of M. H. S. After studying “Perrich- on,” “Papassier,” “Colomba,” “Wilhelm Tell,” “Das Kalte Herz,” one acrpiires a well rounded knowledge of French and (ierman. AVe must not forget the phonograph records, an added attraction for making languages more interesting and perfecting our pronunciation. . . .
