During his high school career each student reads some of the classics to help him develop an apprecia- tion and enjoyment of worthwhile reading matter. In addition to the regular classroom work each student is required to do other reading, chosen from lists of books prepared for each grade. During the sophomore and junior years the Ameri- can and English writers are studied. The actual his- tory of the periods is used only as a background for an appreciation of the authors and their writings. Modern authors as well as the earlier writers are studied. The seniors make a study of the different types of litera- ture such as the drama, essay, short story and novel. By composition work the students are taught to express themselves, definitely, correctly, forcefully, vigorously and easily, both orally and in writing. Var- ious types of composition are considered, such as: de- Foreign French The first year is spent largely in the study of the essential grammatical principles acquired in and through the language for the sake of accurate compre- hension of the language. To provide a foundation for further reading and to assist in getting the thought di- rectly from the French rather than through transla- tion and in using the correct process in reading, some oral reading is done. During the second year much more reading is done with two purposes in mind: to acquire an ability to read French and to secure appreciation and knowledge of the history and life in France and the customs of her people. A review of the grammar of the first year together with further material is given. Latin It is the aim in teaching first year Latin to teach a vocabulary of about five hundred words, to give a knowledge of forms and an understanding of simple scription and narrative. As a climax of this work in high school the senior essay is written. Speech The aim of speech work is to enable students to appear before an audience with ease and express their thoughts clearly and forcibly. Voice placement, proper breathing, good posture, effective diction, clear enunciation and voice projec- tion and interpretation are stressed. After the preliminary work on voice, interpreta- tion is studied for several weeks. Special programs under the direction of the students are given on the average of one every six weeks. Parliamentary drill is worked on throughout the entire year. One-act plays are studied and produced to encour- age an interest in dramatic literature and stage tech- nique. Debate is the outgrowth of the extemporaneous speaking work. Parliamentary drill is worked on throughout the entire Year. Each student memorizes two ten minute selections during the year. In these the students put into ef- fect the fundamentals mastered in the class exercises. Language Latin construction. During the year each student is given a chance to show his skill in writing Latin sen- tences when short stories are composed. The first semester of the second year is spent in a grammar and vocabulary review of the first year. The students are taught a literal translation of the Latini in clear idiomatic English. During the second semester selections of Caesar are read, with supple- mentary work. A picture of public life in the Forum, particularly is gained from Cicero's orations studied in the third year. The students work on a project during the year. The aims in the fourth year are to study the Aeneid as literature, to study Roman mythology, to bring the class into touch with the fine arts of the Greeks and Romans, to establish in the students' minds the elementary principles of Latin gained in the first year. Music Band The members of the band are mostly experienced players. A great deal of time is spent in balancing one section with another. The students are taught the pe- culiarities and special effects not only of their own instruments, but other instruments as well. Orchestra As in the band the members of the orchestra are for the most part experienced players. Balance is I I lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllllIIIlllllllIIIIIllIllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllll stressed particularly and the musicians are taught to follow the conductor. Since the main section is the string section a great deal of time is spent in securing proper tone quality, attack, intonation and phrasing. Glee Club The Girls Glee Club, open to all girls, is a practi- cal and useful emsemble along the lines of sight read- ing and unaccompanied singing. Correct breathing, at- tack and release are developed.
