MARY BOWEN Language Department Head, Westhampton Col- lege B.A., Latin Club, Sr. Y-Teens. Is that the stockinette stitch, Mrs. Neal? A voice is heard ringing through the halls, ‘“Jamais! Jamais! Jamais!” Suddenly one is aware of the proximity of fellow classmates learning to speak in foreign tongues. Languages, however, are not the only things taught in this depart- ment. Ancient civilizations are explored, and it is here that students find that in Paris, Rome, and Madrid they are the foreigners. In an age of jet planes and flights into outer space, it is essential to increase our knowledge of both our close and distant neighbors, so that MISS JEANETTE METCALF 2 Spanish, Longwood B.A., eventually the mood of the world may change from one of tension and Junior Class Sponsor. restraint to one of unity and understanding.

Books to the right of us, books to the left of us. Knowl- edge seems to leap forward from the shelves of the library. Students busy on term papers empty the reference shelves, while nearby the magazines and newspaper racks lie waiting for use by those with less burdensoine assign- ments.

But all who frequent this department come away with knowledge which helps them to more fully develop their minds and personalities. MISS BARBARA BOOKER Library, Longwood College B.S., Library Club. 17
