Enrollment Grows in Foreign Languages Having three languages offered, more than half the high school studied Latin, French, or Span- ish. Latin continued to have the largest enroll- ment. Freshmen mastered vocabulary, con- structed derivative trees and reported on Roman civilization. Sophomores studied mythology, considered the influence of Creek culture, and uconqueredn Roman history, making models of weapons. They spent the second semester read- ing Casesar's Commentaries. Students in Latin Ill discovered Cicero and Ovid. 'KPate de foie gras,'7 anyone? French stu- dents continually grasped vocabulary by seeing, handling and even tasting. In French I, students began to associate the unlikely French spelling with unfamiliar French sounds, while the French II class strengthened reading and writing skills. All l-14 iietudiantesn glimpsed French culture through using maps, songs, and poems. Spanish was the choice of 100 students who made frequent use of tapes and headphones in lab. They dramatized C0ldilocks, played Spanish games, and celebrated such delectable customs as eating Mpinatai' goodies at Christmas.
