O TWO YEARS of study in either Latin, French, or Spanish are offered at Washington High School. ln that time a pupil secures a cleorer under- standing of phrases, references, and allusions that are found in books and other publications, ln this way a greater appreciation of literature is gained. O LANGUAGE is the basis ot learning. To give the student the power of self-expression, to cultivate taste in the choice of reading material, and to set forth a means of acquiring knowledge are the aims of the English department. 16
