In Many Tongues The rooms at the end of the first floor house the language department. Latin, German, and Spanish are taught by Misses Elsie Kopplin, LaVerne Knie- busch, Lila Locksmith, and Sophia Haase. Each classroom has an atmosphere of its own. Books in the particular lan- guage taught in the room are kept for use by the language students and teach- ers. The works of Virgil, and Horace are read by the advanced Latin classes, Goethe is read by the second year Ger- man students, and better Spanish liter- ature is read by the Spanish students. Music plays an important part in the development of a good accent and knowledge of constructions. Songs are learned and sung by the students in their respective tongues. At Christmas time each class has a chance to sing carols in the halls for the student body. This year the Latin classes sang on the third floorj the Spanish students sang on the second floor, and the German club sang on the first floor. Spanish has been given a new stimulus this year by the emphasis that has been placed upon our South American neighbors. The other languages have not lacked in their appeal, however, as stu- dents who are preparing for a scientific or legal career have discovered that the more they know about foreign languages, the better it will be for them. As a knowledge of the people and customs of the countries in which the language is spoken is students. lim Groh, and Betty Ann Crosby are studying a map of Rome for their Latin class . . . Miss Haase leads her German class in song . . . Mr. Omar Dengo ot Costa Rica conveyed the good neighbor policy for lim Kluge and the Spanish studied, foreign language students gain a more sensitive and thorough interpretation of the prob- lems of other countries. Each language group has its social activities ex- pressed by a club. Many speakers are brought in to increase the students' knowledge of the countries and their customs. Many meetings are also held for pure relaxation and to provide a place for the stu- dents to know each other better. Through the medi- um of a foreign language, many students have known their fellow students better. ELSlE KOPPLIN: Latin, Latin club . . . SOPI-HA HAASE: German head, German club, English . . .

Linguists The national emergency really hit this year's advisers, Mr. Henn. Then the new college program German club hard. First the long arm of selective which was instituted to rush the education of senior service reached out and grabbed one of the club's boys attracted Dan Garvey, the president of the club. ln an effort to keep the club roster filled some of the reguirements have been relaxed. First year German students are now eligible to enter the club immediately. Some of the highlights of this year's activi- ties were the annual Christmas party, the sing- ing of Christmas carols in the halls, and an ocs casional party. The club held regular meetings at the homes of its members. The programs con- sisted of topics given by students, student plays, and refreshments. The building of a strong Ger- man vocabulary was encouraged in anticipation of future foreign service. To stimulate this prac- tice the conversations at meetings were carried on in German. To stress the value of original German cul- ture the lives of Germany's great masters were reviewed on several occasions. These talks cov- ered the fields of music, literature, and art.
