COLUMBIA JR. HIGH SCHOOL.

The Latin classes of Columbia Ju-
nior High School have been studying
the relation between English and
Latin words. Some classes have made
booklets showing. by means of clip
pings from the daily newspapers and
from magazines. how many of our
words have come directly from the
Latin. and how many slightly modi-
fled have Il Latin origin.
These booklets are credit 10 the
pupils. and are artistic and instruc-
tive. When one glanceS through
them he feels that Latin is not a dead
language. but one that still exists in
the many English words that have
sprung from this source.
Other Latin classes have taken edi-
torialS and have traced out the his
tory of each word in the editorial to
discover what relations exist be-
tween modern English and Latin. The
children were Interested in doing this
work. Its value, it j. claimed. is un-
questioned. The knowledge of Latin
is Il valuable asset in understanding
our own language. The most adj
'vanced Latin class in school is doing

examining Webster's Dictionary with
the intention of finding the exact
number Of English words having
Latin or Greek origin.

WESTERN HIGH SCHOOL.

Final rehearsals are being held
for the annual Western spring play
to be given in the auditorium OF the
school April 10. 20 and 81. The Win
ter's Tale" by Shakespeare. has been
selected for presentation. and to
overcome the rather unfortunate ban
placed upon the employment of stage
settings, it has been necessary to
produce the play in the Elizabethan
style, a novel method in the local
high schools. but one that bids fair
to be a success in every way. The
scenery to be used in the offering is
now under construction and must
necessarily by of unusual beauty. In
the Shakespearean productions, with
the omission of curtain or much
movable scenery, the settings are
superb in workmanship and appear
ance.
The cast of the play has been
definitely selected, and is as follows:
Perdita, Rae Wilson: Florizel. Orme
Libbey: Leontes, William Scott; Ca
milo. Roger Robb: Cleomenes, Will
liam Clopton; First Gentleman. Tom
Wells: Second Gentleman, Ellwood
Simpson: Polixenes. Oliver Gasch:
Archidamus. Tom Stephens: Old Shep-
herd, Gordon Minnergerode: clown,
oliver Anderson: Autolycus, David
Whelchel; Father Time. Miles Flint;
Hermione. Louise Flint; Paulina,
Mary Conrad: Mopsa. Margaret Will
son; Dorcas, Caroline Marsh; court
ladies, Christine Stewart, Sara Pick.
Dorothy Croissant, Irene Mead; shep-
herds. James Douglas. Llewellyn
Humphrey, Francis Stephens. David
Burke. Allan Foster, Arthur Griffith;
shepherdeSseS, Marie Suter. Mary
Clark, Avril Stewart. Dorothy Reed ;
Jessie Booth. Margaret Watts and
Dorothy Smith.
The Western battalion has COM
menced work on the most important
part of the competitive drill pro-
gram. for, although the close-order
drill is absolutely necessary, the ex-
tended order is by far the more i'm
portant, for it is here that the true
| worth of a company Is demonstrated
In close order the entire unit is al
ways under the direct supervision of
an officer who has received special
instruction in all branches of the
drill, whereas in open order the men
are somewhat on their own resources
and individual work is absolutely es-
sential for the success of any move
ment. All the three companies at
Western are spending much time in
| the study of the entire program, and
| the battalion as a unit is advancing
| consistently in its efforts to become
more proficient in its battalion drill
| in anticipation of the annual bat
| talon competitive drill to be held at
/, the Central stadium April so.
