SEAS Talking, writing notes, draw- ing on paper, and day- dreaming — was that all students did in their aca- demic classes? No, these classes required an abun- dant amount of personal ef- fort to achieve excellence. English, Soeech Drama, and Journalism help prepare stu- dents for the outside world of high school by furthering their education. The stu- dents will use these subjects to advance themselves in college and their careers. English is a much needed subject. Many students don’t realize that knowl- edge of our language is es- sential for college and their everyday needs. Hark the Herald Angels sing ... The Choir members rehearse for the school Christmas play. Speech Drama and Jour- nalism are not required, but are subjects students as- sume to be “easy” classes. These classes may seem easy fo passers-by, be- cause students are having fun as they are hard at work on a layout, copy, or re- hearsal for a play.

That’s The Ticket Many students have enrolled in a foreign language course. Learning a second language has many advan- tages in these times. Perhaps this is why learning anew language is rap- idly becoming more popular. When one learns a foreign lan- guage, it enables them to read, write, and speak the particular lan- guage that they learn. One of the many advantages of becoming bi- lingual could be for travel. Most people in our society are very interested in traveling, though speaking a foreign language is not a necessity in most Spanish and Eu- ropean countries. In Europe most children learn two or three foreign languages. English is a primary lan- guage in most of these countries. English is a second language in fif- teen African countries, the lvory Coast, Haiti, and Quebec. In the United States both French and Spanish may be required. In New Or- lean’s fine cajun dining, French may be essential, while Spanish is a must for communication in New York bar- rios. Spanish is also necessary in Flori- da and Texas for business purposes. Most students desire to travel has been influenced by their ability to speak a foreign language. Learning a secnod language is advanta- geous for a career as well as for world travel. Though learning a foreign language is not as easy as it looks, it’s worth the effort. Caroline Griffith Yes, tortillas did originate in Spain ... Jon Johnson and Tiffany White discus Spanish 3.
