Library Aids Foreign Language Dept. M.P. Cunningham Inn. t a .ugwb. Teaching French, Spanish, Latin, and German to English-speaking students may be difficult but probably not as difficult as teaching English to foreign speaking students. English for Speakers of Other Languages, taught by Ms. Marietta Malonas, is designed to help foreign students speak and comprehend our language. Ms. Malonas reaches between 40 and 50 students a day. Because of lack of interest among students the French Cooking class, one of the classes taught by Ms. Laurie Goldberg, was discontinued. Group sponsors among the foreign language teachers include Mrs. Carridella Booker tSpanishL of the Afro-Student Club, Miss Marcia Booth tLatinL of the Junior Classical League and Mrs. Margie Klapper tGermanL of the JV Cheerleaders. The library, usually thought of as a storeroom for books and nothing more, was stressed more as being a learning resource center this year. A more relaxed, hometype atmosphere was created by the addition of carpets and pillows, where students could feel more comfortable and free. Mrs. M.P. Cunningham, coordinator of the LRC hopes to add record players and earphones t0 the center in the future. Students were urged to take advantage of the numbers of filmstrips, records, and tapes, in addition to over 2500 different volumes of books. if ,; 3:th 19
