Biology French, German The foreign languages offered in Newark High School are Latin, French, and German. These are elective in the Commercial, and Industrial Cours- es, but four years are required in the College Preparatory Course. These four years may be all Latin or com- binations of the three languages. First-year Latin acquaints the stu- dents with the fundamentals of gram- mar and a basic vocabulary. The work of the first semester of the sec- ond year is a continuation of the first year, while the second semester com- prises the study of Caesar's Commen- taries. ln third-year Latin, the stu- dents read Cicerog and in the fourth year, they read the first six books of Vergil's Aeneid. Project work by the students has been stressed. First-year French is made up largely of drill and foundation work, with ele- mentary grammar and vocabulary work being stressed. in the second year a more intensive and extensive reading course is completed with the reading of French literature of all types. Some students correspond with boys and girls in France, while others compile an outline of French litera- ture. Two years of German are offered to the students. The first year is de- voted largely to drill in pronunciation and elementary grammar. Enlarge- ment of vocabulary and knowledge of civilization are gained from the read- ing lessons. The second year contin- ues the grammar drill, including the passive voice and subiunctive mood. Tweniy-eight

Commercial Law General History Asst. Ath. Coach The courses in economics are di- rectly connected with the history courses and have a more practical application. They include economics, economic geography, sociology, and commercial law. . ln economics a comprehensive View of men living in this modern world is presented. The students see how men work together in the production and distribution ot the necessities and comforts of life. Economic geography deals with economics as they are Athletic Coach affected by geographic factors, such as, climate, terrain, natural resources, rivers, and oceans. Sociology gives a picture of the fabric of society today, especially in America and our own community. Commercial Law gives the students a knowledge of the fun- damental points in law so that they are able to know their rights and avoid expensive lawsuits. This serves to clarity the tact that laws are aids for justice, not nets to trap and snare their victims. Tweniy :even

Practical Science Physics O Practical Science The science course in Newark High School consists of three branches. They are biology, physics, and chem- istry. Biology, which is generally a part of the first year's study, is planned to give the student a fuller conception of the meaning of life. lt also teaches the student how to adapt himself most successfully to his environment. Phy- sics, the second year course, gives the pupil knowledge about the forces and mechanics of nature. Chemistry is offered as a part of the senior course. Chemistry teaches the composition and significance of materials used in everyday life. Half-year courses, called Descriptive Physics and Des- criptive Chemistry, are offered for l. W. Swank Ph.B., Mt. Union G. W. Brown B. Pd., Franklin College College. Gradu- Mathematics ate Work at Salesmanship Vtfooster Coltegs Mathematics those who wish to acquire only a general knowledge of the subjects. The mathematics courses include algebra, plane and solid geometry, and Today's Geometry. The purpose of the mathematics course is to teach students to use deductive reasoning in the solving of practical problems. The study of plane geometry aims to de- velop an appreciation of geometric forms and the ability to reason and or- ganize facts in logical sequence. Solid geometry is a continuation of plane geometry with emphasis placed on figures of three dimensions. Today's Geometry teaches the principles of geometry without demonstrating them. The course emphasizes the practical side in solving problems that may be found in everyday life. Twezzly-fzirze
