Miss Karnes proves that group discussions can be amusing. At A.C.H.S. students can choose be- tween Spanish and French. Students tak- ing Spanish may go from Spanish I to Spanish IV while French I and II are open to other students. In Spanish I, students learned the basic sentence structure and dialogue while the Spanish II, III, and IV pupils learned the customs of the Spanish speaking countries. Mrs. Sumner prepares to give a student his grades. French, another foreign lan- guage taught at A.C.H.S., pro- vided the basis for learning the language and history of French. Drills, records, and ac- tual conversa- tion constitute much class time. In March some French students travel- ed to Quebec. 22
