NOUS PARLONS FRANCAIS — Mrs. Jacobson’s French class is intent upon its lesson. OH, NOW I SEE — Dawning comprehension lights Sue Decker’s face. Languages Offer Language studies open new vistas for students in making the Hillite realize how people in other lands think. New ideas are always welcomed at Arthur Hill, and it is in language that many of these new ideas are found. All of the language classes aid the student in his English grammar and vocabulary, therefore the benefit of taking a lan- guage is twofold. Learning to think in a language is just as im- portant as learning to translate it. The language laboratory is a great help in this pursuit. French, Spanish, and German pupils have their language classes in the lab once a week; there they practice listening comprehension and pronunciation. Latin students do not use the language lab as yet, but they also stress the correct accent as well as the actual translation of Latin masters such as Virgil and Cicero.

FRANCES HAMLIN S.A., M.A. University of Michigan English RACHEL JEROME B.A. University of Michigan English, Latin English is a catalyst that brings into clear per- spective the meaning, the importance, the rela- tionship, and the beauty of all other courses — Frances Hamlin. Each year the door to good literature is opened for students through the required reading of Mac- beth, Silas Marner, Walden, Hamlet, or The Gold Bug. The library provides the most inspiring as well as the most practical reading material to cover all tastes and requirements from Shirer’s Rise and Fall of the Third Riech to Thurber’s Thurber’s Carnival. The librarians as well as the card cata- logue assist in helping students find those books which will be read either for enjoyment of require- ment. Skill in communicating ideas is developed through comprehensive reading, written and oral composition, and vocabulary study. Knowledge of good English grammar must be accumulated throughout the years. Never does it cease to be learned.
