CORRECT PRONUNCIATION was Betty Tolo's goal as she read in German for Larry Fredrickson and Martha Wayne. N' 'Si LISEZ LES PLAISANTERIESQ' suggested JoAnne Kennelly while Myrna Nelson looked over the Paris Match. Basic Education and Experience in ulture German joined French, Latin and Spanish in Albert Lea Senior High School's language curriculum. Taught by Mr. Luverne Ahrndt, first year German concentrated on grammar and sentence construction, conversation was emphasized the next year. Latin students devoted first year studies to basic grammar and vocabulary. During the second year, Mr. Jerome Narveson's students studied Julius Caesar by reading accounts of his travels. Aided by mimeographed vocabulary and dialogue sheets, Miss Ruth Bauer's first and second year French classes learned the fundamentals of the language and a little of the character of the French people and culture. The tape recorder and phonograph were put to use in Miss Bauer's Spanish classes. Speaking the language in class added to the students' understanding of verb conjugations and sentence formations. Looking to the future, a language laboratory, which will contain tape recording and monitoring facilities to augment teaching techniques, and a third year of Ger- man studies are in prospect for the department. xv ggi .1 W r .

Business English covered the parts of speech and the qualities of writing good communications. Bookkeeping gave experience in keeping balance sheets, profit and loss statements, control of cash and many other important forms of business accounts. All girls planning to become secretaries could be found in stenography, where they learned the funda- mentals and brief forms of Gregg shorthand.
