Thus anyone having a knowledge of a foreign language will benefit greatly. Sheridan High School offers two years of Latin and two years of French. Both languages prove interesting as well as educational. Over half of the English words are derived from Latin. The French students enjoy French newspapers and French pen-pals. Modern teaching methods are used in teaching both of these language courses. Richard Artman locates Rome, a city of major importance to Latin II students. BONDED GASOLINE STATION

STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLE THROUGH The English language, the national language of two of the most powerful nations of the world, is quickly becoming another international language; therefore, before one can possibly take his place in this world of challenge and competiton, it is madatory that he have a fluent, voluble usage of the English language. The knowledge of English is, in a sense, the key to either the success or failure of the future. Without a complete knowledge and a full understanding of all subjects, a person can not hope to comprehend the many other subjects offered which help prepare him for his future vocation. Sheridan offers four years of English. Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors alternate semesters of English and literature. Seniors have a choice of grammar, composition, Business English, English Literature, and speech. John Kouns and Mrs. Puzey discuss the use of the dictionary and its importance in English 10 class. Grammar students prove the workbook to be interesting as they tackle a page of verbals. BLUE BEACON RESTAURANT
