Coinciding with the study of United States history, juniors pinpointed their reading to American literature. The word individualism took on a new meaning after reading Thoreau. Preparing for college work, juniors experienced the long hours oi research and careful composition that is involved in writing a term paper.

III Thomas Claseman Advanced development of communications and transportation enables people of today to travel by jet from New York to London in a few hours or to call Germany from Washington, DC., in a matter of min- utes. Because the world of today is figuratively small- er, it is essential to learn the language of other people to promote understanding and peace between nations. Albert Lea offers four languages to linguistic enthu- siasts: French, German, Latin and Spanish. French l classes, taught by Mrs. Barbara Verdoorn, concentrated their studies primarily on grammar and vocabulary. French ll students delved into an exten- sive study of tenses, phrases and the parts of speech. Memorized dialogue was an integral part of the course. German students covered their area of study through various activities, including singing the Schnitzelbank and writing a term paper in German. Singing Christmas carols, translating films and learning more about the Spanish culture were the goals of Spanish pupils in both first and second years. Latin l classes learned vocabulary, verb conjuga- tion and translation methods in preparation for a study of lulius Caesar and early Gallatian culture which will be extensively discussed during their second year.
