This is the purpose of the For- eign Language Department-to provide students with a second language and knowledge of oth- er cultures as well. The depart- ment hopes to install a com- mand of the basic skills, reading, writing, and speaking, into each foreign language student.

No changes were made in the foreign language curriculum dur- ing the 1979-80 school year. One of the things that remains constant is the foreign language awards, which are given out ev- ery year to outstanding foreign language students. Last fall the deparment held an international bake sale during parent confer- ence nights to replenish the Flor- ence Steiner Award fund. The department likes to give gifts characteristic of the languages they studied to the recipients of these awards. The bake sale was successful, according to Turner. It inspired a positive spirit among kids. The parents were pleased as well, he added. MRS. MARY FRANCES Crabtree 'su- pervises crepemaking by Elizabeth Schroeder and Missy Morgensen. QA its Y 4,

Art students gain experience through contests I. - - he Art Department has H many classes to offer to - - Glenbrook South stu- dents, but the most popular are the ceramics courses. This year, 82 students are enrolled in Be- ginning Ceramics. Advanced Ce- ramics and Advanced Art Stud- ies. Ceramics students had a chance to participate in two events this year. The first was the Scholastic Art Contest, held in the middle of January and sponsored by Scholastic Maga- zine. The contest is held at Wei- boldt's in Evanston, and stu- dents who join are selected by their teachers. GBS students who won this year were Kathy Doetsch and Pete Stellas, who won first place and blue ribbons eachg and Kathy Groh, David Braithwaite, Tracy Kolba and Michelle Kosik, who won third place and honorable mention. The other annual event was entitled Youth Art Ill, sponsored by the Bank of the Northshore and was held in Northbrook Court in May. Only teenage art- ists could enter and they were juried by members of the North- shore Art League. Miss Lynn Lipke said, Art contests can often be a guide to aspiring art students. Contests reflect the harsh reality of being accepted or rejected as an artist. I think contests are only good when entered with an open mind. Student artists should not make art just for a contest. If a good work of art has been cre- ated in class, is entered and wins, the student gains personal confidence. CHRIS HOOK WORKS on a sketch in the hallway outside the drawing room.
