From Chaucer to Steinbeck, from nouns to objective complements, from poetry to research papers, from short stories to Greek tragedies -- this was the va¬ riety of English studied this year at R. B. Worthy. English is important in every walk of life and so it is stressed continually. Senior ' s who passed the entire schedule of English found themselves prepared for greater heights because so many branches of the English courses were explored throughout their high school years. In Freshman English the founda¬ tion was laid, in Sophomore and Junior English the walls were constructed while Senior English topped it all off. Although it took five long years of hard studying, every graduating Senior felt proud to have completed this full curri¬ culum . 12

The tape recorder is in frequent use in Spanish class as is shown by Miss Frye ' s second-year class. Students show that translation of Latin stories is enjoyable. Spanish and Latin Baffled Students En espanol, por favor, ” was a phrase frequently heard by students taking Spanish I, II, and III this year. After a week or less in either of these classes, every student knew that Spanish was the language to be spoken not English. Tape recorders, daily discussions, complicated drills, lively fiestas and vivid filmstrips contributed variety and interest to the Spanish curriculum at Worthy. The Latin program of 1965-66 was high¬ lighted by the students ' active partici¬ pation in class. Numerous plays, skits, and class cantatas helped develop each individual ' s knowledge of Latin. Students welcomed the modern and re¬ freshing approach to this ancient lan¬ guage, which is the basis of the English language. UPPER: Discussion of the great bullfighters is a highlight of the life in Spanish classes. LOWER: Miss DeVault explains a sentence to her first- year Latin class. 13
