Miss Cilley, Mrs. Dunstan, Miss Barineau, and Miss Ham gather for a S) anish department meeting. LANGUAGES The language departments offer us the op- portunity to partake of other cultures and to see our own culture in the setting of the world as a whole. Through language courses we find a bond with other countries; through literature courses, we see the values that have endured through the ages. Miss Melissa Cilley, assistant professor of Spanish, is an authority on Spanish poetry. Her enthusiasm for Spanish culture has found expres- sion in traveling and in collecting unusual souvenirs. Mrs. Florence Dunstan, assistant professor of Spanish, can tell her students how Spanish sounds in a natural setting. Her trips to South America and Mexico furnish her with this infor- mation. She has studied in Cuba and Paris. Miss Elizabeth Barineau, instructor in Span- ish, has completed her first year at Agnes Scott. Her pleasant manner has already won a place for her on campus.
