Gur Students Learn How Dther Half Communicates They said that in French? You're kidding! I knew you'd like the idiom test! Bonjour, Hola, Solveg no matter which way you spell it, the meaning is the same. So it is with people: the faces may be different but we all have the same universal needs. The mastering of a foreign language can be an educational as well as cultural experience. A language is more than a means of communication, for it is a reflection ofa civilization of peo- ple. When vve eradicate our narrow-mindedness and open ourselves up to new ideas, like the study of different cul- tures, it can have a broadening effect on our scale of values. The Latin language is a reflection on a period in history when Rome ruled the world. Latin is still alive and can be seen in the past and present monuments and other remnants of Rome, With the whisper of French word our minds travel down the Champs d'Elysee to the famous Arch de Triomphe. Maybe it's the sound of a Latin beat or the smell of Span- ish olives or perhaps the sight of a Picasso painting: which- ever it is, the thought is of picturesque Spain. So quickly do these reflections come to mind that it is ap- parent that the study of a language can mean more than you would ever think possible. Miss C. Falletta Mrs. S. Murphy Mrs. F.
