I., LATIN Throughout the Latin student's life, he will continually see before him the benefits from his high school language courses. Latin, in providing a foundation for the Romance languages, paves the road for the student who wishes to continue his study of languages. Latin is an invaluable aid to the pros- pective lawyer or doctor and even to the individual who recognizes the Latin derivations in his read- ing. Therein lies the value of Latin as an asset in the future years. SPANISH This department of WFSH, under the direction of excellent instructors, has opened new doors of interest and learning to many students. Spanish not only provides the students with a better knowledge of the people and history of the Latin-America countries but also stimulates a desire to further the goodwill and understanding between the United States and its neighbors to the south. The P.A.S.F. chapter in-. WFSH is an active member of the Pan American Student Forum of Texas and sends a large delegation to the state convention in Austin each year. 1-.fd f 4 il- JANE MCCULLOCH, M.A. MRS.

SOUHWGGSTGVTW STBTS College North Texas State College Sponsor of Vocational Industrial Club CGMMERCIAL Businessmen of today are ever seeking better trained young men and women to do the commercial tasks required to run an efficient business. Through such courses as typing, bookkeeping and short- hand, students acquire the skills necessary for success in this field. Mechanical drawing and shop develop a basic interest and ability for careers in architecture, drafting or engineering. Economics and commercial law promote a sense of values in our changing society by offering information about the world of business and finance. While performing duties necessary to the school administration, office practice students experience on-the-job training. Because of the increasing need of industry and business for individuals with special- ized skills, this department emphasizes the fundamentals necessary to obtain good positions. S.E.D.T. Through the Safety Education Drivers' Training courses in WFSH, the student learns to drive in the proper manner. Through the use of a dual control car in which there are a clutch and brake, he puts the principles of sound driving learned in class into action. The dual controls insure safety for passengers in the car and for the beginner. The constant regard for safety instilled in the minds of the trained driver remains with the new driver when he is on the highways by himself. MACK L. KECK, M.S. HADDON F. MALONE, M.S.

Illinois Wesleyan University Midwestern University Social Committee Sponsor of Boys' Glee Club Co-Sponsor of Instrumental Music Sponsor of Choral Music Club Club MUSIC Music plays a role in everyone's surroundings that nothing can replace. Imagine a world without music! Surely it would be a world devoid of feelings. Students in the orchestra, a cappella choir, and Coyote Band gain an appreciation of music that is invaluable for the rest of their lives. Its members serve in various musical organizations and play and sing for activities of importance to the community. The fine quality of the performances given by the music department can be attributed to the caliber of the instructors. The music department of WFSH is a vital factor in the lives of citizens of Wichita Falls. SPEECH The beginning speech student overcomes his fear of standing before a group soon after the course begins. After learning the fundamentals of public speaking, he may advance into debate. The debate student quickly learns to organize facts and present them in a convincing manner. He may go on into Amateur Guild or the National Thespian Society where finer points of the art of dramatics are learned. Radio-TV and Stagecraft are courses for the student interested in these specific fields. Each year the speech department participates in Texas interscholastic League competition. In past years its members have established a record that makes the school proud of its speech department. H. BEDFORD FURR, M.A. Southern Methodist University Sponsor of National Forensic League MRS.
