 Latin articles which have been collected over the years are being examined by Linda Bowerman, Sue Booth, and David Smythe, freshman Latin students. Latin students, taught by Mrs. Caldwell learned all the basic constructions, vocabularies, and were able to write sentences and read stories in Latin. A special project was the Latin-English derivative note- book which each student made during the year. A Roman banquet was presented by the Latin 9 class who served as slaves. Latin 10 class acted as hosts and furnished the entertainment. Guests were former Latin students. The English department strived to equip each stu- dent with good tools and methods of communications. Basic skills of grammar, speaking, and reading good literature were emphasized in the freshman and sophomore years. The junior class concentrated on specific types of writing and advanced grammar. Senior English class was used as a composition class, where ideas were developed into creative, logical, and mechanically correct written themes. The English department consists of Mrs. Rush, Mrs. Harker, and Mrs. Caldwell, teacher. 9 Steve Tucker and Pat Smith are pointing out the parts of speech on a chart in Mrs. Caldwell's English 9 class.
