Is, am, are, was, were, be, been- very familiar words to every English student. Teachers present to us a gift which will benefit us the rest of our lives. Each one works day and night correcting papers and preparing lessons in order that we may use and under- stand our language better. Litera- ture stimulates all of us to use our imaginations and creativeness to look into the depths of classic ad- ventures, poetry, and dramas. In the future we Shall realize the im- portance of proper Speech insisted upon by teachers who are dedi- cated to the purpose of making us all better citizens. BNI This year we asked teachers to divulge their pet peeveS which can be found after their MISS MooHMANN ENTHRALLS HER STUDENTS WITH TALES or SHAKESPEARE HCIIIIGS. ENGLISH O Atkins.

f-Q li fi X1X N. Mrs. Martha Allen Mrs Rose Spinoff Miss Penny Speth UFFICE SECBETARIES The office secretaries perform innumerable useful services to our school. In addition to assisting the leaders of Tigertown to fulfill successfully their tasks, how often they take time from their busy schedules to help many faltering students by offering directions, in- formation or just a friendly Word of encourage- ment. Such devotion and loyalty to an office is seldom shown and although the work is sometimes tedious and boring, our secretaries will readily agree that their efforts are Well worthwhile. An earnest attitude which is ex- pressed in their work convinces us that the business end of our school is in competent hands.

Through the untiring efforts of our language teachers, we are brought to a much clearer under- standing of the customs of dif- ferent nations. French, Spanish, German and Latin are offered to those students interested in con- tinuing their education. Because of the increasing demand fcr French and Spanish, these languages are offered in the seventh and eighth grades. Be- sides being helpful in entering college, foreign languages are very useful to tourists traveling abroad or those coming in contact with inhabitants of other nations. Students are beginning to realize that their own language is not quite enough to fully understand the problems of the world which bettercommunication has made much smaller: we salute our language teachers and thank them for their guidance.
