The study of foreign languages unlocks many worlds Consistency, precision and articulation-all these are demanded of a pupil studying a foreign language. Through language we learn to appreciate the world's diverse cultures and peoples. The Latin authors, interpreted by Mr. Matthews, make us aware of the debt which all Romance languages owe to this venerable tongue. The Spanish Department, headed by Mr. Johnson, emphasizes our close ties with the Spanish speaking world. The French have al- ways been innovatorsg the study of their lan- guage and literature continues to tantalize menis minds. 'L 'F ,ew Wg 'KDEAD LATIN seems alive in Mr. Matthew's class. DANIEL M.

Creative teaching-a key to the romance of history There is nothing new under the sun. We need only to open history's covers to realize that we are not as original as we had previously imagined. We, as students of life, are the sum total of all who have preceded us. Vital people pass in reviewg we stop the more interesting characters, examine them closely, question them persistently. Each has some message for us. In an attempt to grasp and define this message, an enlarged Winchendon History Department in 1965 strove to inculcate in its students the ability to draw meaningful conclusions from the panorama of historical events. AMERICAN HISTORY comes to life for Bob Bergmann and Sandy Axton in Mr. Favreau's class. Ski 'F '-Q za,- 6 . . rx .Egan 'itil via? -1. sf' ffv ,ss J.
