The class in senior English have
finished writing their essays on the
life and literature of England before
the time of Chaucer.
Most of the fourth year English
work is done by use OF reference books
and this manner of study is found very
interesting, as it allows each pupil to
specialize a little along his own line.
The class in beginning German find
the work very enjoyable. German
greetings pass to and fro and many
of the simple expressions fall quite
naturally from the lips of the students
of German. The German script is used
on every possible occasion by the
ardent members of the class in order
that people may be impressed with
the writer's knowledge of German.
The Vergil GLASS are learning the
rules for scansiOn and for prOnuncla
ton.
/ The senior class in algebra are TAX
ing up the subjects ratio and proper
ton. They have been informed that

and are in fact easy TO understand
