A Key To Better Understanding In today's world of international problems the study of o foreign languoge is porticulorly helpful. French is the language of diplomacy not only in inter- national circles but also when we wish to conceal something from little brothers and sisters who have finally learned that B-R-A-T is a word they should know. Parlez-vous francais? is a stepping stone to bigger things. Sponish is also quite handy, particu- larly when discussing Pan-Am projects with our Latin American neighbors at the Pan American Union. Lotin, of course, is the basis for both French and Span- ish as well os the other Romance languages. Mystify your friends with a Lotin proverb or two. This is a sure way to impress that intellectual guy you've got a crush on. Many people are obviously already con- vinced of the advantages of knowing a foreign lan- guoge and enrollment in third and fourth year classes has increased tremendously in the post few years. Recording o Sponish ploy for o closs program for Christmos required coreful rcheorsol. Korin Eckelmeyer, Dophne Dutton, ond Judy Livingston woit for their cues, while Kurt Miller, Kenneth Sheiry, ond Bob Nicnolos concentrate on the operation of the tope recorder. Kenny Smith records his role. 16

Their inexhaustible talents provide us with much pleasure and at the carnival each spring we gather around the booth where art students try their skills in pastel portraits of those students with enough patience to sit still for half an hour. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach is the by-word of the Home Arts Department. They take great pride in cooking meals and, though it is The firs» slop in making o dress is the necessary job of loying out the pottern. Harriet Green ond Patti Cohoon help each other so the job will be finished quickly ond accurately. sometimes difficult to get samples of their culinary creations, the girls take pleosure in concocting all sorts of tempting dishes. It is truly a woman's world when scraps of material ond threod are transformed into suits, dresses, and coots. Musicians and I steners alike take great pride in B-CC's Music Department. Our A Cappella Choir is, one of the organizations of which we con be most proud. Each year hundreds thrill to the choir's inspir- ing Christmas concert presented at the National Cathedral. Even the most critical have nothing but praise for the rich tone quality and emotion which the choir produces.

Girls find bosketboll os exciting os the boys do. Wrestling is one way to let off steom ond is o regulor port of the Physical Education Program. We Let Off Steam In our long doy of readin', writin', ond 'rith- metic , we find gym period o most welcome diversion. The boys start off the year with intramural touch football on the baseball field while the girls are ploy- ing field hockey and golf on the football field. When the cold winds of winter make outdoor sports uncomfortable, the boys move inside to play volley- boll, wrestle, and tumble while the hardier souls play soccer in the snow. Meanwhile, the girls play basket- ball in their gym. The difference between girls' and MISS JOSIE BELLE KEETER, B.A., M.A.; Chairman; Cheerleaders, Mojorettes; Physi- cal Education . . . MRS.

With the coming of April showers, the boys don their gloves and go out for intramural softball. The girls pick this season for bowling in Bethesda. Some, however, stoy at school for baseball, volleyball and tumbling. This old saying could well be applied to our achievements in Physical Education — Mighty oaks from little acorns grow. 17 Mrs. Petronek, who joined our staff in January, finds the faculty lounge reloxing ofter teoching girls physicol educotion classes.
