Mrs. Arel Faver is shown helping Joe Smartt with his lessons. Other students shown are Barbara Smith, Edward Schulz, Dean Powledge and Eddy Kirby. Art is a course interesting to everyone, not just to a talented group. This subject enables a student to see, enjoy and appreciate to a higher degree the things around him. This proves equally true whether art is chosen as a vocation or an avocation. MRS. AREL FAVER Sophomore English MRS. J. A. THOMPSON Junior English MRS. E. E. JONES Sophomore English and Art

English Is Important in All Subjects MRS. VIRGIL JOINES Sophomore and Senior English Grammar, Literature Stressed English, studied throughout high school, is needed and used in every other subject as well. Sophomore English stresses grammar and its use throughout the year. Short stories and research reports make education interesting; plus the short novel, SILAS MARNER, read during the second semester. Junior English students are given the opportunity to enlarge their vocabularies. Speaking and writing abilities are also strengthened. American literature is widely studied and read during the year. MRS. M. M. O’REAR Junior and Senior English Dana Westfall is shown giving a talk on Christmas customs. Mrs O'Rear and the remainder of the class are giving their attention to her. A research theme is one of the most important projects of- fered by senior English. The history of the English race and language is also studied and explored, as well as a review of basic grammar. 18

New Lab Used in Spanish, Latin The Latin Department of Snydei High School meets the demand for the learning of Latin. Bobby Lynn Taylor heads the department; put- ting stress upon the structure and derivation of words as well as vocabulary. Pronunciation, translation and the reading of Latin help the student understand the old as well as the modern in regard to culture. Bobby Lynn Taylor gives advice on debate to David Ilfrey and Linda Stewart. 20 The Spanish Department this year is com- posed of five classes with approximately 75 stu- dents. First year students concentrate on vocab- ulary, grammar and conversation, while second year classes continue grammar and vocabulary study in addition to advanced conversation and reading comprehension. The language lab is an added asset and is used in recording conversations, paragraphs and vocabulary phrases in Spanish, as well as Latin. Miss Martha Moser is shown making use of the newly developed language lab.
