Defense Begins Here ★ Girls of today are the homemakers of tomorrow and should be able to create a home that produces good citizens. In addition to expounding on mastery of the culinary arts, Miss Thelma Walker, head of the Home Economics department, imparts knowledge of clothing, home nursing, fur- nishing and beautifying the home, family relations, child care, and per- sonal improvement. During the ten months program, three outside projects, one completed in the summer, are done by each student. Proving the good- ness of the pudding, girls from the department won two firsts, four second places, a third, and a fourth place at the State Interscholastic Meet in 1941.

The Canal of Languages Latin is the carpet on the floor of every classroom; for over half of the commonly used English words have Latin derivatives. The Latin language is a canal that spans the width of Europe and both Americas and draws us together in these troubled days. Our teacher, Miss Coreen Wilkerson, gives a clear knowledge of the meaning of the English words, a better under- standing of English syntax, and a basis for the study of other languages. Mrs. J. Ben Doherty and Miss Wilkerson in Spanish I and II are so thorough in their instructions that students can read, write, and sing in this romantic tongue. Mbs.
