Conversation and composition, stressed in language courses SPANISH GRAMMAR is a must with Mr. Johnson. l If a school is to produce an academic pro- gram which embraces many cultures, then this school must be endowed with a vigorous mod- ern language department. The student, to escape provincialism and an insular interpre- tation of life, must attempt to understand the thought processes of other peoples, and language is a man,s most functional means of communi- cation. Precision, articulation and imagination- all are hopefully inculcated into the Winchen- don language student. In 1966, French and Spanish teachers stressed the practical application of the modern lan- guage. Frequent compositions in the new lan- guage and an intensification of its usage helped the student to assimilate the material. Once again, Mr. Matthews taught Latin and lucidly interpreted the contributions of this venerable tongue. DANIEL M. JOHNSON Head of Spanish Department B.A., M.A. fMiddlebu1yj g Music Instruction.
