A French village, showing French homes, a -church and French peasants made by the French class, was an attractive feature. The 'Latin class display of Roman chariots, wax tablets and Roman bridges were very interesting. The history of Williamsburg, written by students of the eighth grade told of many interesting places of the and important facts about the lives of many prominent citizens. In each clas? a project was required from each student. This project was put in book form and was of the students own making and ideas.

These projects were shown, as well as the daily work of the classes. In the Junior and senior classes there was a book made-up by the students entitled "Who's Who."
