What are your oldest heirlooms? Grandpa's Civil War saber? Every day We use heirlooms more ancient than that. The Words that We use for everyday things have all been handed down to us for aeons. The striking similarity between Dafef, vater, padre, and pere results from the fact that they all descended from a common Indo-European language which originated thousands of years ago, giving us a tie with many nations of the World. We all have the opportunity to study another language. Oldtimers Latin, French and Spanish, plus German, which was taught at Walter Johnson for the first time this year, are offered to students who want to extend their speech to include the tongue of another country. Working outside of class time, the Latin, French, and Spanish Clubs follow similar methods of pur- suing knowledge of their respective languages. In- cluded in their activities was a jaunt to a native restaurant Where the members ordered their food in their best foreign accent. ACQ AIN e, . 3 we ! C ,M -1- .

Here, volunteer students serve as clerks to sell school essentials This is just one branch of the Commercial De- partment. Typing, bookkeeping, and other classes which prepare students to enter the business world form the basis for the department. If you Want to invest in some Worthy cause, by buying a yearbook or football ticket, student cash- iers in the school bank will happily accept your money. Trained in commercial classes, they receive actual experience by working in a bank, if only a miniature one. Do you Want your bankroll to increase Without your lifting a finger? Deposit it in the bank, Where four per cent interest accumulates annually. In charge of details of these transactions is the Sav- ings Club. In the Commercial Club, typing and other skills learned in the classroom are put to Work in prepara- tion for business positions. Tips on business eti- quette plus demonstrations of business machines comprise a portion of their program. Left to right: Mrs. Westwood, D. Broadhurst, D. Counselman, and B.
