LES LANGUES ETRANGERES ET L'HlSTOIRE As a phase ot our great national defense, what could be more important than the vast resources of culture and education that are stored in the reser- voirs of Latin, French, and History. Here under the capable leadership of Mrs. Pentz, Mrs. Nicholson, and a former graduate of M. H. S. and a practice teacher here, Miss Vogels, our Latin classes advance through the amo, amas, amat stages to Omnia Gallia est divisa in tres partes to Procul, procul este, protanif' Guided by the teachings of Pompey and Cicero, we learn ot old Rome and its splendors. We become fast friends of Virgil and Ovid as tales of adventure, romance, and intrigue unfold before us. Parlez vous Francais ? Well, you probably do if you have attended any of Miss Chateauneuf's or Miss Storrie's classes. Here you Will find a veritable gold mine for use in our national defense. In the classroom, the spirit of France prevails, and in the guise of a textbook the customs and traditions of France are made more real and interesting. Under the supervision of Miss Kimes and Mr. Clark, the parade of events that constitute the history of the World pass before us, and We are made to realize the importance of preparedness. We see Alexanders and Napoleons live again in Hitlers and Mussolinis. And we can only hope and pray as we see Washingtons and Lincolns come to lite in the persons of Churchill and Eden, that there will still be a bright tomorrow for democracy.
