After becoming acquainted with vo- cabularly, genders, and conjugations we are fully prepared to rattle off translations like Caesar himself. Again and again we come across many words in our English discussions that are de- rived from words of our Latin-American neigh- bors whose native tongue is Spanish. The study of their language introduces us to Pancho, the gaucho and his ancient con- queror Cortez. One other elective language offered to us is that of German. This gives us a living ap- preciation of the great masters of science and music such as Beethoven, Wagner, and Bunsen. Miss Fardy points out the details of Latin gram- rnar and they all seem to be enjoying it, Hmm! Miss Lemke reads to E hor German class.. ll'uultc-.Shu Iliyh Schools

We ,l!eL,1 Buda! Me fvwzfawi fbaz AGRICULTURE I've learned some swell ideas on how we can make more money from our cows. l know I haven't been farming tor twenty years like Dad has, but there are all sorts of new methods. We've been learning them in Agricul- ture classes at school. Just anyone can't take Agriculture. You have to live on a farm or work there so you can get practical experience. At school we have the farm shop where we learn to take care of tools and machinery. A large number ot veterans are study- ing Agriculture under the job training program. Mr. Ward and Mr. Gensicke visit them on their own farms and the veterans attend night classes. Our school has the best agriculture pro- gram of the suburban schools and the largest in the state. The Ag Department witness a herd classification sponsored by the Na- tional Holstein Association, Mr. McDowell examines a buckrake built by one of the veterans in their training program.

I0 4 7 Megaphone' ART AND MUSIC Well, kids, l think the Spring Festival is everything you said it was. I looked especial- ly at the portraits you said were your big project this year. Mom was interested in the wooden bowls that the art class had painted. l had no idea that high school students could draw as well as the landscape pictures were done, and the all-over designs looked really professional. I heard that some of the cover designs had won prizes in local organizations. The art teacher there told me that the art de- partment took care ot posters, scenery, and some of the properties for the plays. I had heard the choir sing at some pro- grams before, but it's still a wonder to me how they can all keep in tune so well without the piano. That's a good idea to have instruction in stringed instruments for the beginners. l understand you have a junior band and choir, too. The school seems to have a field of music for every taste with band, orchestra, choir, Madrigals, and even a barbershop quartet. F N-.Q-' The band has O warm up session at the beginning ot class.
