25 It's Greek To Me The Spanish Club is composed of those students taking second, third or fourth year Spanish. The meetings of this organization are held on club days and are enjoyed by all those students participating in them. Interesting pro- grams are given and many pictures, clothes, and magazine articles about Spain and her people are shown and explained. Because of the large num- ber of applicants for the Latin Club, two clubs have been formed; one for those students taking first year Latin and the other for second, third, and fourth year students. The purpose of the Latin Clubs is to gain a more thor- ough knowledge of Roman life, cus- toms, and language, and to understand better the practical and cultural value of Isatin. The French Club has been operating very effectively this year under the able guidance of Miss Shep- ard, the advisor. In the meetings of this club many interesting programs are heard, and much interest is shown by all those fortunate enough to belong to this club. The members correspond with students in foreign countries that speak the French language. LATIN Row One: Baldwin. Burke. Box . Payne. Halliday, Gil- bert. Janaen. Griffith. Cad- enhead, Hollinger.

FACULTY Row one: Moon. Murphy, Sclator. ti'Orncllns. Cox Row two: DuuitlaN. Brown. Vuuirhun. I’iUnnw One Two Button My Shoe The Mathematics Department is com- posed of twelve teachers who endeavor to instill into the minds of Murphy s students the first principles of mathe- matics which carry them through life. This department is divided into several branches: one year of arithmetic, two years of algebra, one and one-half years of geometry, and one-half year of trigonometry. Although mathemat- ics is not a required subject, nearly every student takes at least one of the branches, and those who plan to at- tend college study several years of mathematics in preparation. The course is an extensive one, being surpassed by only a few schools throughout the en- tire United States. A student who studies four years of mathematics at Murphy is able to enter any school without examination with the excep- tion of high technical institutions. The aim of the Mathematics Department i.« to develop the power of understand- ing and analizing relation of quantity and space, so that pupils may appre- ciate the progress of civilization and may develop habits of thought and action that will enable them to make these powers effective throughout life. 26 Mr. Dobbins’ Math.
