French and Latin to students pursuing the classical course of study. To gain a typical glimpse of the work done by these eleven teachers is to recall the many times that Mesdames Mac Wolfe's and Mary Lewis' sophomore and senior students of English dressed themselves like Flappers from the 1920's to explain various uses of the dictionary, like Hansel and Gretel to convey orig- inal compositionsg like characters from Tom Dooley to demonstrate prose writing, or like children to depict Mrs. E.

Mr. McKeown was around to further develop artistic consciousness. His musical and teaching abilities were seen through personal and professional contributions to the school program. 4 We can thus ascertain that this year of music and art at MHS was a big milestone in the future develop- ment of a true fine arts program. y , sf 3 qi , 5 I Alvin practices to N A ' achieve the best i D'Ann seems to be deeply absorbed in her art work. tones possible. ,ef il Xl!

Aside from the drama involved in English, one can recall the debates used by Miss Voncile Compton to teach juniors all about styles of writing and histories of com- positions. At the same time one remembers that Miss Clara Nolen enriched junior English with her slides from Europe. Correlating the junior and senior English class activi- ties were the undertakings in freshman and sopho- more English classes. These included skits, public speaking, and written compositions. The English students in Miss Compton's class work diligently as Miss Compton grades composition papers. Mrs. Murphy looks on as Peggy Holcomb works unceasingly on her English notebook. .WW Miss Voncile Compton Mercer University , i N ' - qbhfbbg Mark Goodwin jr L ,,A.
