F.LSIA TATE. A. B. CATHERINE FARRELL. M. A. 1-4 tin French Learning Foreign Tongues ALL KNOW THE ANSWER LESSON PREPARATION Parles-vous francais?” or Lo- quorisnc Latine?” ( Do you speak French or Latin?” to you). One may have his choice of their languages at Paris High School. Miss Farrell teaches a two-year course in French, while Miss Tate instructs in a four- year Latin course. The courses in Latin include a basis of grammar and a study of three ancient classics: Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil. Two notebooks arc re- quired: Iter Per Graecia” ( A Jour- ney Through Greece”) is the first- year requirement ,and Athenae Lux Graeciae” ( Athens, the Light of Greece”) is second-year work. The French classes under Miss Farrell also begin by building a firm foundation of grammar. During this two-year course, the students read The Trip of Monsieur Per- richon and The Black Tulipe. These classes also subscribe to a French newspaper Le Petit Journal which is published for high school students.

 26 MUSIC We Play and Sing ORCHESTRA Musicians in the making” could well be the theme for this year’s twenty-eight piece orchestra. Although we were late getting started, because of the untimely death of our former leader, Miss Ethel B. Hougham, we have pro- gressed rapidly under the able direc- tion of Miss Margaret Beeson of Terre Haute, Indiana. Due to our late start, we have participated in fewer activities this year. The Class Plays, the Farmers’ Institute, and the Operetta, Mi- kado, were among the most notable of our performances. BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The boys’ glee club, one of the time-honored institutions of P. H. S., has as its aim to foster a love and appreciation of good choral music and its execution. Miss Beeson is the very capable director. For the Big Broadcast of 1939 the Glee Club presented a skit en- titled Singing Stars. The boys also helped in the singing for the Christmas program. The second semester was spent in preparing the Mikado, which was given in the high school auditorium. They also prepared E. I. League numbers for the contest held in May.
