ANG A E STUDENTS BUILD A BASIS IIUII AMERICA Yi ? Yun gg' Sw .,,,g,, W. T If the students today are to assume posi- tions of importance in the post-war era we must be able to converse with the peoples of the world, discuss problems poly-lingual- ly, and reach decisions through the medium of language. Walnut Hills does not pretend to make us capable of coping with these momentous tasks of the near future, however, we are being supplied with a sound foundation on which to build further training. Latin itself is a vital part of education and all of us are forced to acknowledge its value even though we are not of the valiant who have put Virgil behind them. ,German is of great importance, particularly to stu- dents who plan to enter medicine and re- lated fields of science. French has always Miss Stratemeyer - been recognized as the language of cultured people, and the works of Hugo and De Maupassant become even more glorious in the original tongue. Our closer relations with South America have sky-rocketed the popularity of Spanish, and opportunities for its use are increasing constantly. Many of us may never use the languages which we have studied in high school, but our lives will have been enriched by even this small taste of the literature of other na- tions. To others this study may serve to whet their intellectual appetites to seek further knowledge of the language, culture, and customs of our fellow-men, and per- haps through increased mutual under- standing the perpetual dream of peace may enter the realm of at least possible reality.
