HiSf07Jl mm' Languages promote understandin History blends with speech, Spanish, and French in giving an insight into others' Way of life, past and present. Language and cus- toms are fun to study. Reproducing them may give trouble, but the attempt is most rewarding. Remember that first lost day in a foreign language class? All problems soon work out as we learn the art of speaking fluently and enjoy springing a comment on some poor un- fortunate who has not had the opportunity to receive the value of the language depart- ment. History proves a valuable asset in ex- plaining world conditions that prevail today. It also provides the background for many theatrical productions. Through training in speech, one learns to express his ideas with ease and effectiveness. Speech student, Rosemary Stone, script glances as Mrs Stinson applies make-up and Judy Linthicum prepares wig Serenading of French carols at Christmas- time was one of the highlights of the year for these French Club Members: Dick Retal- lick, Patty Ellis, Herbert Collins.

Two sleepy-eyed groups, the high school band and chorus, practiced at eight o'clock rehearsals two mornings a week with high hopes for vast accomplishments. A pleasant and hard-working instructor, Mr. F. B. Mc- Curry, provided the needed incentive to sing and play for bigger and better achievements. Greenwood's ninety-three-voice chorus presented their traditional Christmas can- tata, Fred Waring's Song of Christmas, on December 15 at an assembly. This was the sixth consecutive year that this musical Work and its scriptural narrative had been given. Then began the long hours of practice surrounding preparations for the annual state music festival held each spring in Col- umbia. Not only selecting but memorizing all songs and learning to present them with stage appeal were the festival objectives. Always eager to learn from Mr. McCurry are the mem bers of the percussion section: Jeanette Rea, Nancy Thompson, and David Hudson.
