PLANE GEOMETRY ALGEBRA II ALGEBRA I Mr. Barclay, our principal, teaches three of the high school math classes this year: Algebra I, Plane Geome¬ try, and Algebra II. In Algebra I, there are 49 pupils, the largest number ever to take this subject. Because of the size, the class is separated into two sections. In Plane Geometry there are 12 boys and girls. In Algebra II there are only six boys. This subject is the highest form of math given this year. We hope that the pupils do as well this year in the scholarship tests given at New Concord as they have in the past. Last year there were three winners out of six in math. In Plane Geometry the two pupils that took the test were first and second in the county. In Al¬ gebra II one of the two that took the test was first in the county. JERRY LITTLE Page Thirty-five

ENGLISH I ENGLISH II SPEECH CLASS SPEECH MISS FORBES The aims are improvement of voice, with particular training on prepara¬ tion and delivery of speeches for spe¬ cial occasions; debate, panel discus¬ sions, and reading. A rather large part of the year has been devoted to dramatics, culminating in Senior Class Play and in a Nativity Play which was given as the Christmas program. FRENCH II We have only five members in the French II class. They are Carol Brown, Ani ta Sims, JoAnne Penny- baker, Bonnie Waxier, and Emerson Payne. The course consists of trans¬ lation of stories and study of French idioms, irregular verbs and vocabu¬ lary. We enjoy carrying on conver¬ sation in the French language. Through the study of the French language we learn a great deal about the life, customs, and history of the French people. LATIN II There are eight in Second Year Latin, three boys and five girls. We have read the stories of Hercules, Ulysses, and the Argonauts. Most of the second semester is devoted to Cae¬ sar’s Gaullic War. We find our Latin helpful in vocabulary building and in giving and understanding of English grammar. One recitation period each two weeks is devoted to mythology Latin games such as vocabulary games. Two students from the class have charge of each of these pro¬ grams. ENGLISH I and III In the English I and English III courses we divide our time among the study of literature, English and com¬ position. Most students enjoy the short stories, one-act plays and the narrative poems which we read. Oral English helps the students to gain poise and confidence. CAROL BROWN Page Thirty-six
