GREEK CLASS There is only one course in Shortridge where the students can hon- estly say. It's all Greek to me. This is the two years' course started each fall under the direction of Miss Josephine Davidson. It is, indeed, one of the outstanding differences between Shortridge and other high schools, for ours is one of very few which offer work in Greek. The Greek course is invitational and open to juniors who have made A's or A pluses in previous Latin courses. These students acquire a reading knowledge of Greek and a strong foundation for better understanding of the English language and vocabulary. The studies include grammar. Xenophon's Anabasis,l' and the first six books of Homer's Iliad Since many eastern colleges cover this material in three years instead of two. it is customary to grant six credits for the two years' work. Shortridge has always maintained as one of its traditions an interest in Latin and Greek. Mr. George Hufford, principal at Shortridge from 1892 until 1902, taught Greek himself and promoted interest in the sub- ject. After his retirement, Miss Ellen G. Marthens took the class and continued to teach it until she retired in 1940. Mr. George Buck, during his former years as principal, was an enthusiastic supporter of the Greek class.
