FOREIGN LANGUAGES—For Travel And Fun The deep sound of the whistle greets us as we board the S.S. United States. We're cruising to Paris, Rome, and Mexico City. Our first stop, Paris, greets us with comment allez-vous. Many Frenchmen inquired where we gained knowledge of the French language. We answered, At Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Maryland. After a week's visit in Paris, we’re off to Rome. While visiting many historic sights, we feel the charm of this city. Gazing at Caesar's statue prompts a battle of Latin quotations remembered from school days. In merry Mexico the colorful fiestas display the warmth and vitality of these people. We arc able to witness a bullfight. Upon our return home, we realize that our knowledge of French, Latin, and Spanish was not learned in vain. Actually, our second language may not be ready for instant use on our first visit to the native country, but it will provide a basis for our understanding. Although only two years of language are regularly offered, a course in third year is given upon request. LEONORA AIKEN. B.A.. M.A.—MCEA Alternate. French I. II. Ill . . ANGELA DARBY. A.B..

VOCATIONAI Useful And Rewarding The wealth to be discovered in the basement of the Arts Building lies in quiet solitude most of the time. The inquisitive student, however, who begins his explo- rations there will continue to spend at least one hour daily, seeking the rich rewards. Jewelry Shop yields I.D. bracelets, rings, and silver trays. Metal Shop supplies house markers, book ends, trays, and whatever else an ingenious student might design. Bowls, chests, tables, etc. spring into l cing in the Wood Shop classes while careful designs arc wrought by students in Mechanical Drawing. In a school with no scheduled study halls, a minor subject which entertains as well as instructs is greatly appreciated, and here there are tangible results to l c displayed for one’s labors. George Carr ami Deane Bcman appear deeply engrossed Metal Shop, under Mr. Bender's careful eye. provides an as Mr. Sagneri shows them the proper method of repairing op|Mirtunity for many different projects, this broken table. The proper procedure for turn- ing this Ixml on the lathe occu- pies the attention of Mr. Hre- lienach ami St a voras Britsias. Martha Phyfc is an attentive olwcrvcr while Mr. Croddy dem- onstrates one of the fine points in jewelry making. 19
