Romance languages-The cornerstone Margaret Boal Frances H. Deiter English English Languages i'Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and Writing an exact inanfi The English department encompassed these three essentials of education through academic, gen- eral, connnercial, and vocational English. Be- sides these four divisions, two advanced aca- demic classes were ollered for those juniors and seniors who wanted a more intense Eng- lish background. English classes, Which were required of all students, strove for a well balanced program of grainmar, literature, reading, and composi- tion. A department-sponsored trip to Edinboro State Teachers College to see Shakespeareis ululius Caesarn was taken on November fourteenth. In addition to mastering their own language, 188 students tackled a foreign tongue. Study- ing under Miss Eddy for the past year, forty- five senors and senoritas and thirty-five ines- sicurs and inesdemoiselles gained knowledge in the language field. Various devices, in- cluding singing and talking records, bulletin boards, and displays aided in the French and Spanish students' learning. Mrs. Haneyis 143 Latin students learned necessary background by means of slides, art Works, and handicrafts. Plays and speeches increased their vocabularies.

Fine Arts Nlr. Davis, new at Senior this year, teaches a very complete program of art to his students. His tenth grade enthus- iasts have begun a three year program which introduces them to the many fields of art such as advertising, commercial art, metal Work, and other practical applica- tions. Creatiyeness on the part of the students is urged in this three-year pro- gram. At present, the eleventh and twelfth graders may elect their own fields. A few of the projects chosen are oil painting, glass work, fashion design, sculpturing, interior decoration, and jewelry Work. The music program, directed by Mr. Runzo and Mr. Puleo, is pictured and described in the activity section of this annual.
