Languages Stir Renewed Interest Stude nts proved as interested in foreign languages as in English. Yet, due to the lack of students taking French III a French Club was not organized. Other students showed an interest by overcrowding the French II classes. New ideas for learning French were introduced. Skits were performed and Bingo games were played. French students also participated in the Christmas program. They sang several songs which they had practiced at Mrs. W. C. Hackleman’s home. Many students were interested in the Latin course. On Latin Day, stu- dents displayed the proper Latin dress. Mrs. Catherine Crawford and Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers were the foreign language teachers.

Memo Tak es Advantage of Individual Help in English Retaining six of seven teachers, the English departments lone vacancy left by Jeanette Nelson’s resignation was filled by Mrs. Amy Pace. A native of Henderson county, Mrs. Pace had been teaching in California where she also worked on her doctorate at the University of California at Berkley. A Phi Beta Kappa from U.N. C., Mrs. Pace showed her five classes of juniors the expanse of American literature. When one considers the confusion encountered by the typical high school English student faced with vocabulary, creative writing, book reports, grammar and literature, one can only imagine the confusion en- countered by Memo, the foreign ex- change student from Costa Rico. The individual care given to Memo by Mrs. Lappin symbolizes the care and concern typical of all seven teachers in the English department.
