How ignorant we felt when a tiveweek vocabulary test came along' But remember how elated we felt when we finally wrote a successful composition and all the fun we had acting out Macbeth? Yes English had its brighter moments along wnth its trials and looking back on It we realize that at has added to our appreciation of literature at the same time teaching us clarity of expression So that s what happened' LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT ll the French spoke Englush and the Spanlsh spoke English and the Romans had spoken English our linguistic troubles would be less com plncated The fact is however that the native language of the French Spanish and Romans is here to stay u wait a munute is rt really so catastrophic? Consider the value of being able to converse with a Spanish senorita of being able to order an edible meal from a French menu or of being able to say confidently at an appropriate moment Dum vlvimus vivamus' l lve nt up' D For these and for many more seruous reasons and for the toy of accomplishment Itself studying irregular verbs learmng declen sions taking dlctees and belng taught all the other technlcalltres attendant upon learmng another language are certainly worth the while

I' 5 f ,I MUSIC DEPARTMENT Without the band and without the choirs our life at Stratford High School would be incomplete, far what is more pleasant than listening to the lilting melodies emanating from the Music Room, or watching the peppy band formations at the football games? Remem- ber the various concerts and the excellent music at Christmas assembly with the A Cappella choir and the band stirring our hearts? The Music Department has afforded many with opportunities of being a part of these musical organizationsg others have shared the pep and joy which have been added to our school life. Mr John Meerbach ART DEPARTMENT They always call him Mr Touchdown Many a dreary day has been brightened by the masterpieces of our budding ortusts The beautiful Christmas displays the many informative posters and the backdrops for our school plays kept us constantly aware that there was much talent being revealed and developed in our Art Department Another Grandma Moses7 Miss Anna Hogan
