The Ural Tradition ln English, history, French, and Spanish classes, students gained knowledge in the litera- ture, customs, grammar, and language usage both of our own country and of other countries. Students discussed everything from poetry, short stories, novels, and pronunciation in English and foreign language classes to the most significant dates and important happenings of different races and cultures in history courses. Some seniors participated in advanced place- ment CA.P.j English and history classes and had the chance to earn college credit by taking spe- cial exams at the end of the year. An acceptable score on these exams gave students college credit at many colleges. Most students who took a foreign language joined either the French or Spanish Club. The French Club, led by President Alice Young, Vice- President Cathy Sarrell, Secretary Jan French, Treasurer Anne McNaron, Chaplains Mary Laurie Johnson and Dena Akin, and Chef de Chant Cena Brown, and sponsored by Mrs. Jones, had several parties at which they prepared French food. Several members of the club participated in the annual statewide French Convention in Tus- caloosa where, in the Spring of 1978, lan Simp- son received first place in second year individual oral competition. The officers of the Spanish Club: President Carl Walker, Vice-President Cindy Nunnelley, Secre- tary-Treasurer Susie Dillon, and Sponsor Mrs. Slate, organized the club's activities. They had several parties at which they ate Spanish food, presented skits, played bingo, and worked on crossword puzzles in Spanish.
