Combining the rich and colorful Latin American culture with the study of grammer, Mrs. Mary Simpson made her classes of Spanish en- joyable to all. Room ll soon became the most decorated room in school as Spanish flags and pictures of daring matadors were used to depict the south-of-the-border atmosphere. Entering this room, one also entered the world of the Spaniard. The days of the week, the months of the year, numbers, everyday conversations--all were in Spanish. Mrs. Simpson obtained Spanish pen pals for us in order that we might exercise our knowledge of the romantic and beautiful language. Records in Spanish were purchased to increase our powers of comprehen sion.

This understanding is a necessity in the shrinking world of to- day. ,..----,.... ..-1
