ariety ls Spice of Engli h Classes Four years of English language study are re- quired for graduation. Every student's program card includes an English class. Beginning with the January semester, three new faces greeted students. Mrs. Patricia Bristol, Mr. James Norton, and Mr. Jack Gray took the places of familiar figures, Mrs. Victoria John- son and Mr. Lawrence Thomas.

'Ciest Si Bonf Exclaim Parkers, Enthusiastic Language Students Foreign languages are not new to Parkers. They have been taught at HPHS for years. The languages taught are German, French, Latin, and Spanish. The most important event of the year in the Spanish class is the trip to the Old World Marketf' The Spanish students are able to buy Spanish food and souvenirs. Parkers also learn to sing Spanish songs and do a lot of translating. The Latin students study the Gallic wars and other events of Roman history. The students have projects in which displays and drawings are used. Students are now being taught Latin I and II in the eighth grade at some elementary schools and are able to go directly into Latin III in 9B. Parkers in the French classes use their voices. French songs are sung, and the students memorize poetry to recite to the class. In German classes Parkers study the history of the Germans and the fundamentals of the lan- guage. HPHS will have a new language laboratory to help students in their languge study, soon. Aids to be used are tape recorders, microphones, and slides. ALICE STAFFORD translates as Bron McDougal notes the French IV homework on the board. 1 MISS MARY CAMPBELL directs a discussion in her Latin VI-VII class. Sharon Finch, Claudia Love, jon Cowan, and Steve Fairman participate. 16
