Dramatics, another branch of English, is full of excitement, especially when pupils give impersona- tions of their classmates. Fifteen Legend editors found themselves running around in a dither of pictures and write-ups. They owe a debt of grati- tude to Miss Tenhaaf and Miss Baloyan whose English classes had discussions on The American Way of Life. Oh, for a Magic Carpet! Parlez-vous francais? - The French students have an enjoyable time giving original plays in French. And for more fun than a picnic4that's rightga puppet show in French. Don't be surprised if you've never heard a Latin student talking Huently in this language. Although they don't talk, they do sing Adeste Fidelis and Silens Noir in Latin. Let's take a trip to Mexico, or why not South America? The Spanish students think this would be exciting for they have talked to a real Span- iard, tasted Mexican food, and played Spanish games. A typical American English class. Or should we say an Ottawa English class? Anyway these students appear to he enjoying the study of Shakespeare's As You Like lt.

Don't drop that gram weight, says T. Grant to hir. Toland is explaining the main parts of a tri- S. McVoy, who is weighting sodium chloride. In chemis- try everything must he weighed accurately-or else? Math Aids Cupid Two and two makes four is simple compared to the Pythagorean Theorem, which Miss Bader explains to her geometry classes every year. Gen- eral math, bookkeeping, algebra, geometry, trigo- nometry! It sounds like a lot of math, doesnt it? Well, it certainly has furnished excuses for many a boy who wanted to call that good-looking new girl on the 'phone. Sooner or later her tele- phone would ring and he'd be there wondering what the assignment for tomorrow was to be. Let's call Cupidflvlath. How about it? angular prism to Don Veldman.
