Health And Cleaniness Concern Of Staffs Planning and preparing well-balanced lunches is the responsibility of the cafeteria staff. Its aim is not to satisfy 700 hungry students, but to serve appetizing meals. The cafeteria manager of each school in the county plans a certain number of meals and sends them into the county office. From here they are sent to the different schools and during the year, each school uses the same menus. Helping to keep the school clean were John Staton, Walter Davis, and Theodore Comelius.

L 9 it YUU DUNT ' STANDA CHINA AN'S CHANCE uNLl-:ss You READ. One of the attractive bulletin boards encouraged reading. Better Communication From Study Oi Languages Since we are living in a time when all formal learning is being interpreted as preparing one for living, English takes on added importance. It is necessary for other learning, we use it every day in every social and business situation. English early becomes the key to communication with those about us and also the key to communicating with ourselves. We find it in living, in learning, in earning, and enjoying. VVe are at a loss without effective English. To encourage the student to become more adept in the use of his language, North requires three years of English, one each year. In these classes, learning to appreciate what others have written, learning more about others through what has been written, and learning more about oneself at the same time, as well as learning to communicate with others effectively is stressed. Parallel reading is required of each student. North also offers the student the opportunity to study two other languages, French and Latin. Two years of each of these are offered with an 22 additional year of French being offered this year for the first time. French students begin their study with the feel- ing quite often that another language will be diffi- cult, but they soon begin to enjoy the challenge and find much fun in the learning of French. If a student fails to keep up with his work, however, he soon finds himself so far behind that he feels discouraged. The good student does his work as it is assigned and goes into second year French well prepared. Third year French is open to anyone who has passed the first two years. Latin students find the work similar to that of the French student, if one keeps up he has no diffi- culty. Latin gives a good foundation for the study and use of one's own language - English. It aids also in building onefs vocabulary and helping one to understand what others are trying to communi- cate. At North Latin I is taught one year while Latin II is offered the next. There were two classes of Latin I this year.
