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.

Books and Pictures Span Wide Range of Interest and Action Looking for a picture of a starfish, a college bulletin, an old issue of Newsweek or a good novel? Youive come to the right place if youlre in the BHS library. With a collection of over 9,000 books, it is the academic hub of the school. While a freshman is looking up the temperature of the Gulf Stream, a sophomore may want information on Pasteur. Poe is a popular subject for a junior research paper, and a book on capital punishment is likely to aid a senior preparing a debate. For the fifth year Mrs. McKarns served part- time as assistant librarian. Thirteen students also volunteered their time to assist Mrs. Bo- brock, head librarian. If you ever needed any- thing, Mrs. Pxobrock always knew where to find it. The library continued to benefit from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act for the purchasing of new books. Photography One of the busiest groups this past year was the photography class. The course of study in- cluded instruction in the basics of photography, while the lab work offered great deal of extra experience. Since a function of the class was to provide pictures for ZETA COBDIA and HI- LIFE, they were able to see their work published. Photographers. FRONT: Linda Boyd, Brad Lindsey. Mike Arnold.
