LATIN DEPARTMENT.
"Labor omnia vincil.”
"Work wins everything.”
Latin, Greek and Mathematics for many centuries constituted the heart of our high school curriculum. Now, as new subjects are added to the course of study, Latin still holds its place among them. Many students study Latin today not because of its traditional value but because of its practical value. Consider some of the following statements and you can see why the study of Latin is worth while:
1.	About 60 per cent of our English words are of Latin origin.
2.	About 90 per cent of the Roman languages, French, Spanish, Italian, etc., are directly derived from Latin.
3.	The study of Latin is essential for one who would study medicine.
4.	A student has to know Latin in order to study law, because law is largely Roman in origin.
5.	Science is largely composed of Latin terms.
C. A student studies Literature with more appreciation if he has a knowledge of Latin.
7. By studying Latin ,a pupil familiarizes himself with great works of art by acquainting himself with famous men, gods, heroes, etc.
Have you ever stopped to think how we use Latin all the time consciously or unconsciously. You see a poster:
Kiln High School versus Bay St. Louis Game called at 3 P. M.
What do the black words mean? In this game only bonafide students may play. We go to the game and pay our money (which has pluribus unum stamped on it) to the manager, who is ex officio gatekeeper. Kiln beats the other team (never vice versa) ; we pretend the other team is dead and hold a post mortem celebration, parading the streets of the town with a facsimile of the rival school.
Very often we must argue pro and con if someone opposes athletics. A single Lapsus Linguae may spoil the case in toto.
Every day we read about advalorem tar-riff duties, ex post facto law ante bellum days, etc. But, the main thing is this—in English, the most practical study of all— Latin helps us most.
Considering Latin for its own merits, we will not voice the sentiment of the school boy who says: “Latin was a language, at least it used to be; it killed all the Romans, and now it’s killing me.”

The Play in Work.
FOURTH GRADE.
We are the Fourth Grade, a happy class In fun and work we are hard to surpass, We often fret and fuss and fume.
But all in all, we’ve a lovely room,'
Not really pretty, for all of you know When it comes to beauty we make little show,
But the joy we share and the interest rave Creates within a school room fair.
The floor with its dust vanishes away, Becomes, as of velvet, in our imaginary sway.
The desks are not really seats at all But glorious palaces, splendid and tall, Like the homes of our great men who wrote and fought That this country of our might not live for naught.
The buttercups blooming in the basket white,
Are really golden fairies—blithesome and light.
The music—Ah! ’tis a wonderful tune A happy child’s voice that ends all too soon,
For our reading class we love very much, We forget that it’s work—in fact, it could not be such.
For who would not know of this world and its treasure Of goodness and knowledge—its bravery, its pleasure?
Of all of the things that never could be, But which we adore to imagine we see—
So when the bell rings, books close with a sigh.
We arise to our feet and fling back----------
-----goodbye.
Remind you of Rip Van Winklium.
James, who is in the quartetius,
Sings something like a crying babiui. There is a boy in our classio,
Who is always arguing with the teachero, Now, if you want to know the name of the boyus,
I am ashamed to tell you it’s Rudolph Curetus.
Every one know's Anthony Dubuissionio, The height of his jumping we do not know. We also have a Latin shiekio,
Who is our old friend Buck Lottio.
Gladys Harrell, the class migetus,
When it comes to declension she chooses Magnus.
But, Annie, who’s long and lankitun,
In class she is always crankitum.
Oh! Our friend, Gene Crowibus Knows his onions on a Saxophonibus.
Then, there is Vera Cuevas in our classia, Whn in Latin. always ma!;e? a nassia.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT
ELSIE JEANNE HALFACRE,
Director.
Department Motto: “Never B Flat, Sometimes B Sharp, Always B Natural.”
Music has for the last two years occupied a prominent position at Kiln High School. In fact, the casual visitor to the campus is apt to discover as soon as he arrives that the musical department is here and that its activity is intense, unintermittent and unforgetable.
But if it were possible for him to remain long enough to become absorbed in Latin verbs and problems in Math, he would make another discovery; namely, that the melodies and harmonies and cacophonies continually dropping down from above arc as though they were not. But if they were not. he would sorely miss them.
Consider the fact that a large per cent of the student body study music in some form. During this session twenty-eight enrolled for piano, four for voice, eight for violin, four for saxophone, one for clarinet and one for the cornet. Theoretical as well as practical branches are taught and credit is given for advanced work in Music.
One of the events of this year has been the organization of a Choral club, Senior and Junior orchestras. In public you have an indication of their prominence.
The Music study, clubs and other organizations have been formed, which have added much to the zest of school life.
Under the given supervision there has been stamped deep into the hearts of every student, helping him to see that light, that inspiration, which leads into the heart of Music.
“Music is in the realm of the emotional, the sphere of the Spiritual that Music is incomparable, supreme.”
“Music is well said to be the speech of angels.’ ’
