MRS. MARY BRAND: English III. MRS. HAZEL BRYANT: English II. MISS MARILYN TURNER: English III. An infant journalism program available for the second year, gave students a basic history of journal- ism and an opportunity to learn skills needed to produce actual pub- lications. Photography, writing, layout, ad sales - all the skills needed to produce a small, weekly paper - were taught and practiced. Two classes of Journalism I and a class of Journalism II contained more students than any other jour- nalism department in the state. Pew experienced students were available, however, to provide leadership for the fledgling jour- nalists. This created many problems, most of which were solved by hard work and desire. 109

On a small scale, Spanish tried to ease the country with country misunderstandings. Learning a new language and culture of another country brought that country closer. The Spanish 1 students kicked this term off with the already worn- out phrase, iHola! iQue tal? Throughout the year drilling, re- peating, writing, and more dril- ling finally made way for a limit- ed vocabulary. In regard to dril- ling, the Tengo catarro game not only became fun, but by the end of a week, each student knew the first and second person of 1 by heart. Moving up to Spanish II. the Spanish culture was presented mixed with conversations to give a more natural conversational scene than in Spanish I. Supposedly enter- ing the course with a reasonable vocabulary, Spanish II accelerated learning ability by turning out some twenty new words per chapter. This year’s Spanish II enrollment almost assures a Spanish III class.
