BETTY BOYD B.A. Spanish A good understanding of Spanish is particularly important here in Texas, since our next-door neighbor, Mexico, is a Spanish-speaking country. Also, Spanish is the mother tongue of all the other Latin-American countries. Two years of Spanish are offered at Denton High. During this time the students study not only the language, but how the Spanish-speaking people live, dress, and act. Students also write to other students in Spanish-speaking countries and compare notes on both countries.

By studying their languages, customs, history, etc., they can better arrive at this understanding. Too, French ranks with English and Spanish in being understood and spoken all over the world. A command of the French language will insure a traveler of being understood, no matter where he may roam. MRS. VIRGINIA BLAIR B.A., M.A. 'Eff
