Though conjugations declensions, and the nomenclatures of the languages are sometimes difficult to learn, constant practice and application of the conversational language will increase your knowledge of the foreign tongues. As you progress with your studies you will become more in- terested in the peoples of different nations. Through you.r Spanish and Latin textbooks, you learn about the history and cultures of the people. This applies to the study of any language. In time, your understanding of the language grows and you gain a keener insight of some of the world's peoples. When one understands the lan- guages of our foreign neighbors--ultimately, one begins to under- stand the behaviors of these peoples. With this new insight, world peace comes a step closer to reality. For the first time in recent years, a foreign language club has been formed--The Spanish Club. Under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Moynihan, this club will attempt to fulfill some of the ideas advocated by the language department, The Spanish Club will explore the culture of Spain, the Americas, and other Spanish-speaking nations throughout the world. Members will report on the historical and social de- velopment of these nations. They will correspond with pen pals in the Spanish lands . . . cementing concrete relations. MRS.

MR, ADAM GOYKOVICH, B.S. B.A, College of Steubenville The Humanities Do you want to visit the Nile, catch a glimpse of Pharoah's tomb, and delve into the ruins of ancient cultures? Why not take a course in World History? With the help of the teacher and the use of a history book, one can travel to many lands and learn what has made man's culture today. Projects of landscapes, maps, buildings and inventions make your trip more realistic. As you journey through the years, your teacher parallels history with the activities of the modem world. Debates on important problems - Viet Nam, imperialism, nuclear arma- ments - bring international issues into the classrooms. American history, its government and problems of democracy are realized as students relate America's positioninworld affairs. Indeed, the history of social studies enables one to gain a keen and sincere appreciation of his heritage. MR. RICHARD LEYLAND, B.S. Ohio University MR. JOSEPH HAMROCK, B.S.

U. of Pittsburg English Through the years the English department at Brilliant High School has given us valuable knowledge. Besides the difficult gerunds, infinitives, and diagrams, our teachers have portrayed vivid personalities in American Literature--Mark Twain, Bret Harte, Thoreau. English Literature has given students such immortal characters as Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth. These dominant figures in the Shakespearian plays are often dramatized in the classroom or on stage. Group tape recordings renew the memory of these presentations. In the course of the English program, students learn funda- mentals of compositions, themes, and essays to prepare for future college work. Oral recitations build confidence and poise in one's own ability. The daily addition ofwords increases our vocabulary. Without a doubt, the English department is a working organism-- emphasizing the use of English in every field and in practical life experiences. An absolute must in any English courseisthe study of Speech. Within the Speech Class, students develop correct articulation. They become adept at co-ordinating their thoughts with the expressions of their ideas. Nervous students learn to control their speech before an audience. Throughout the course, the class learns to give tributes, introductions and individual orations by practicing their wit and their various intellectual aptitudes, I9
