VK hen you get to Earth ask to see their leader - Spanish students learn correct pronunciation in the language lab. Our southern neighbor is the continent ofthe Spanish language. The Spanish established colonies in the early sixteenth century and these settlements still show the influence of the home land, Spain. The study of this gay and colorful language has double purpose, not only do the students learn how to speak the language of our friends, but also broaden their outlook of the world around us. The study of Spanish at NLRHS is divided into two partsg first year and second year students learn tense and conjugation of verbs, pronouns, subjects, objects, and reflexives. Spanish contains many of the pitfalls in under- standing and usage as our English language does. These problems help a Spanish student become abetter English Student. A gaily decorated room awaits every class along with a Spanish speaking penpal. The practice in trans- lating these letters is fun as well as stimulating and educational. Spanish holidays are celebratedwith dances, songs and stories. Oral book reports are given in Spanish and classes are also conducted in Spanish. All this is to create a world-wide interest in our neighbors. Spanish students on Wildcat Hill are equipped with not only a knowledge of the Spanish language but a better understanding of the lands and the customs of other countries. MRS.

All right, Caesar, just for that you can make your own pizzas...

And since Latin is considered the Mother language a study 0. it always proves quite interesting. Why? It is the key to civi- lization. In ancient times the monks and poets preserved the literature of their period not in their everyday language but in Latin. Thus it was to be able to translate it. Even today most of the noted scientists, scholars, and other dignitaries are well acquainted with Latin. Latin at NLRHS is a two year course. In the first year a sizable vocabulary, declension of nouns, and the conjugation of verbs are studied. During the second a review and advancement of the first year is made. After completing two years of Latin, the student knows much about the customs of the people of Rome, the tragedy of Caesar, and the fall ofthe Roman Empire. Thus he has studied not only a foreign language,but history and literature as well. . . 3 Y MRS. B. F. ALLBRIGHT begs Caesar, Ronny Franks.

Susan Rhodes and Richard Moore illustrate Je ferme la porte and J'ouvre la fenetral' Like the other foreign languages at N,L,R,H.S., the study of French is divided into atwo-year course. During the first year a general working vocabulary, conjugation of verbs, and a study of verb tenses acquaint the students with the language. Second year classes begin where the first year classes ended, and more verbs, additional tenses, and trans- lations from a French reader are studied. Activities of the French classes are interesting and varied. They include correspondence with lan- guage students in both French and American schools. Thus the students not only learn a new language, but also gain international friends as well. Joan Wade translates.
