Study of Languages Interestingly Presented Through the untiring efforts of Miss Carrie lil. Orton, who teaches Latin. and Miss l.illian G. Hall, who teaches Spanish, students find the study ot' these languages most agreeable. Several times each month the members ot the .lunior Classical League, wl ich was organized a t'ew years ago out ot' the old Latin Club, laying aside for a time the diligent study ot' conju- gations, declensions. idioms, and grammatical constructions, meet to take part in Latin games, songs, plays, debates, banquets, and, each semester, an initiation. Solemn, inspiring, symbolic, the initiation means much to new members o' the club, Miss Ur- ton believee that through these activities students gain a better understanding ot' Latin by learn- ing about lhe everyday lite of the Romans. Friendly, charming Miss llall, who has spent much time in Spanish-speaking lands, makes her classes in Spanish very en- joyable. An unusual collection of ob- jects gathered in her travels, stories of har experiences in t'or- eign lands, phonograph records ot' Spanish songs and tales hold great interest for her students. ---.....,,, S-Y . 5...

Carrying forks and cups, mem- bers of El Club Castellano gath- ered yesterday to enjoy again the club's annual banquet.. The room might have been a room in Mexico or Guatemala, in Colom- bia or Argentina, t'or the food was typically Spanish, and only the measured tones ot' the Eng- lish spoken by our principal, Mr. Hall, broke the liquid, graceful flow ot' Spanish from El Club's most simpatica sponsor, Miss Agnes Blanck, t'rom its presi- dent, Albert Salazar, and from the participants in the day's pro- gram. Membership in El Club Cas- tellano, which is necessarily limited, is eagerly sought by students ot' Spanish, who wish to participate in its numerous activities. At Christmas time the club is especially active, bringing to lVlanual's anglos through the Nacimiento ot' the Christmas pageant, the singing of the l'o- sadas in the halls, and the excit- ing ,Lfilllltk pinata, a vivid picture ot' Christmas in Spanish-spealo ing countries. On Pan-American Day, April 14, lfll Club Castellano presents an exhibit, especially appropriate to the day, ot' inter- esting and unique objects from Mexico, Peru, Brazil, and Guate- mala. El Club Castellano merits its enviable reputation as the old- est and most. far-sighted high school club in Denver. Begun under the leadership ot' Miss Batione, the first teacher of Spanish in Denver, the club has been carried on without cessa- tion. Long before the United States became a good neighbor in the western hemisphere ICI Club Castellano was promoting friend- ship with l.atin America by bringing about a better under- standing of Spanish and the cul- ture and traditions of our neighbors to the south. Agnes L. Blanck, Spanish A complete knowledge ol the vital defense points is very essential in Mr. N our.se's South American history class. Indicated here as Natal, Brazil, an important factor in the crisis.
