Among the languages that we studied during our sophomore year were English, Latin, French, and Spanish. The English we learned this year was divided into two major fields. We studied the masterpieces of English literature and we took our first organized steps into writing. In Latin class, we followed Caesar through his campaigns and wrote correlated reports. Good work in our freshman year and serious effort in our sophomore year, offered us the opportunity of joining the Latin club, an honorary society. We tackled French verbs and long translations with energy. We traveled fvia our imaginationsj to the city of Paris and strolled along the Champs Elyce'es. We met the French writers and artists. Our reading lessons in Spanish I were all on tapes, prepared by a real Spaniard. During our sopho- more year we started our lab work in groups of six in the miniature language lab in room 109.
