Knowled e of Lan uages i Miss Wright increases students' knowledge of French by pronouncing Q words for them. Buenas dias -These are familiar words to those students who take Spanish. Spanish is iust one of The foreign languages taught at Aldine. French and Latin are also offered. With The grow- ing conflicts in The world Today, language is a necessity. Peace cannot be achieved unless peo- ple understand each other. For This reason, for- eign language is The first step to world peace. The students learn The customs and beliefs of The people in other countries, They learn about The lands themselves, and, of course, learn to speak The language of The country. The students learn a great deal of The language from records, Tapes, and earphones. Most of The classes re- quire The students not to speak in English, but, rather, in The foreign language. This teaches the students to speak correctly and fluently. Each year foreign exchange students visit Aldine. This year Estella Franco was an exchange student from Mexico. These students live in the homes of AHS students. This arrangement helps, both, because the AHS students learn from the exchange students, and they, from the AHS students. 1 Rusty Bertrand helps his classmates all he can, especially the girls! l l l
