This presented a few problems, and students as well as teachers had to develop a better sense of cooperation. In addition to learning various con¬ jugations, vocabulary and grammar, students had to learn new names for old faces due to the marriages of two of this department’s teachers.

Teachers often made their own tapes for the lab on their own time, and students found that work-sheets on composition were much more interesting since current topics were frequently used.
