Bonjour, mademoiselle-adios, senor- salve, Lucia-these are some of the first phrases that beginning French, Spanish, and Latin students ponder over. For the first few weeks, students sit in a daze and wonder what is going on. The language laboratory adds more puzzlement, and pretty soon students are ready to give up for good. Through the conscientious efforts of the teachers, however, the dawn finally breaks, and students begin to respond to questions.

Through this medium We learn, not only to express our own thoughts, but also to accept the thoughts of others. From composition and oral recitation we proceed to literature, a study of the writings of others. We explore works-Chauceris '4The Nun's Priestis Tale, Shakespeare's Macbeth, or Keat's HOde on a Grecian Urn -and study the lives of great authors. The last step in our learning to think anew is the application of these principles of English to our own lives. If this step is not taken, then all the other steps-grammar, composition, oral recitation, and study of literature-have not been fruitful. MRS.

ttllnrouglln the study oils llioireiign atnguatges. HG LANGUAGE DEPARTMEN As the year progresses, the French Hr becomes easier to pronounce, and the southern drawl begins to vanish. Latin stu- dents cease to tremble in class when called upon to translate, and Spanish vocabu- laries become less tedious to learn. Thus as the year draws to a close, we are sure that we know all the French, Spanish, and Latin there is to know. We hardly realize how very little we' do know until college knocks the props from under us, and we again sit in a daze of bewilder- ment. Quelle chance! MRS.
