atin- meriean elations . . . A topic to talk over Discussing a report on the Student Pan-American League in which North High along With its sister school, Phoenix Union, are members, lVIr. Loyd C. Elliott, principal lat the rightl and Mr. VV. Nlontgomery, superintendent of Phoenix Secondary Schools and Junior College, prepare plans for an important year. Both schools have charters in the league and carry on a varied and active Panf American program. Many classes are carrying on correspondence With schools in various Latin-American countries, With replies having been received from students in lVleXico, Guatemala, Hciiidtiras, Chile, and Cuba. Mr. A. F. Olney, Curriculum Coordinator for Phoenix Secondary Schools, is the local representative of the project, working under appointment by the United States Office of Education. Of special interest is Work being done in some Spanish classes, which are col- lecting Latin-American papers and magazines that advertise United States prod- ucts. These advertisements are in Spanish but retain the trade name either in English or in a mildly Latinized form. Students then attempt to Write similar advertisements in Spanish for other United States products. Students not regularly enrolled in Spanish classes in school have the KTAR School of the Air as a means of learning the language.
