all countries of our vast world Ancient Rome is a point of great interest for people traveling to Italy as Ron Kendall, Roy McDonald, Tina Knoble and Ruth Stuckey, students of Latin II, are observing from the map. and through languages. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither can a knowledge of Latin. Latin is the basic foundation for other languages around the globe. A great many English words are derived from Latin roots, and these are studied in both years of Latin offered at N.H.S. The first year includes a general study of the language of the Romans, and Latin II is primarily about Julius Caesar. Latin is almost a necessity for vocations dealing with medicine, such as doctors, nurses, and phar- macists. Many scientists also find a knowledge of Latin helpful. The Latin classes have an annual feast called the Roman Banquet, which is held early in the spring. The menu is strictly Roman and the after dinner entertainment is furnished by the students of Latin II, as illustrated in the picture below. Costumes and music enhance this annual event. This is a scon© taken from th© play givon at tho Roman Banquet. Appear- ing in this musical comedy, Th© Death of Caesar, are Karen S. Goorgo, Loren Berger, Roy McDonald, Roger Holdorman, and Ron Kendall, a very much allvo Julius Caesar. DOUGLAS W. PRICE. M.D.—Market and Dm Streets EVANGEL PRESS—Printers of the Napanet 9

In order to graduate, all seniors are required to take one semester of U.S. Government and one semester of economics. The former gives the seniors a better understanding of how our govern- ment operates on the local, state, and national bases; and economics acquaints them with im- portant trends in making a living. Through lectures, group and panel discussions, and films these students learn more about the great heritage of our United States. U.S. History, which is required for all juniors, encourages the students to take an interest in the story of America including everything from the adventures of Columbus to current events. To lecrn more about the historical background of other countries like France, Germany, and Great Britain students enroll in the elective subject, World History. This course also gives the students a view of the changing times of the past centuries and how they fit into our own history. HECKAMAN TRAILER MFG. AND BUILDER J. R.

Home Economics and Shop For the girls, home economics otters unlimited ideas for future home management and provides excellent preparation for the modern homemaker of tomorrow. From the freshman to the senior year it teaches the basic skills of planning and cooking balanced meals, setting the table correctly, and decorating the home. Because of the modern sewing equipment, the girls have an opportunity to work industriously in their wardrobe planning and sewing course. In addition, home nursing and child care are taught during the second year. As a highlight of the senior year, the 'matrimony minded' girls carefully plan their own weddings from their color schemes to refreshments. What could be a finer climax? It's not just a women's world, for the boys have special in- terests, too. Their work is done in the shop department where various courses include drafting, wood and metalworking, and mechanics. Besides the freshman requirement of a semester of both woodworking and drafting, advanced machine and architec- tural drawing are taught along with metalworking on the lathes, as shown in the picture below. This course is taught for a two hour period. The first hour is spent in the classroom and the other hour in the shop working with the autos or metalworking machinery.

Fred Slabaugh, Jay Stouder, and Bob Slabaugh are working on their projects at the metal lathes. 10 KACY'S—Sinclair Producis RAY H1VELY—Plumbing and Heating Sorvic©
