Students May Elect Language Students of Columbus High School are given a choice of three foreign languages, Latin, French, and Spanish. The pupils could enroll in advanced courses in Latin and French. This year a new Latin textbook was used to stimu- late more interest among beginners. The French classes enjoyed having croussant, choco- late eclairs, and hot chocolate down in the cafe- teria as part of their study of La Cuisine Fran- caise. The Spanish students learned by hav- ing a teacher who studied in Spain last summer. In these courses there are many signs of getting better as we get bigger.

English Classes Use Recordings English teachers have been endeavoring to teach students to read, write, and speak English more effec- tively. With the donation of five new record players, records, which feature selections studied in the text- book, could be heard and appreciated. This, along with the reading laboratory, improved reading skills. The new grammar books placed special emphasis on written expression and encouraged more writing to be done. A special unit of speech was incorporated in the regular English classes to give some experience in that field. The library has helped this department by adding many new and interesting books to its shelves. These range from pleasure books to resource books and magazines. The classes are divided into College Preparatory, Business, and General. There are some electives in this department such as speech, modern literature, creative writing, and a senior dramatics class which presents the Senior Class Play. Working on Senior term papers are Carol Boyer, Marvin Barkes. and Mary Ellen Skeen. Miss Sharon Vtshback, Miss Fiances Haas, Miss Joan Baldwin, Mrs. Wanda Lawless. Mr. Duane Anthony, Mr. Sam Keashey.
