L A I G U A G f :■ So that we may speak our own language more fluently and know more about that of the other countries with which we are becoming better acquainted, English, Latin, and Spanish are taught. Miss Chittenden helps the freshmen lay the foundation of their high school gram- mar and literature, and makes them familiar with their first book reports. In their second year, with Mrs. Smith, the students read Silas Marner and study more advanced grammar. This is put to practical application during the next year under Miss Hand, who also teaches American Literature. Mrs. Clopton furthers the seniors ' appreciation for English Litera- ture and gives final touches to the prin- ciples accumulated during the previous years. For two years, internationally-minded pupils study Spanish, taught by Mrs. Bis- bee. Mrs. Miller teaches the students the fundamentals of Latin and then leads them ihrough Caesar ' s Gallic Wars.
