LANGUAGE DEPARTMENT MILDRED TURNER Rollins College. U. of Col- umbia, U. of Florida, A.B., Spanish I, II, III, IV, Los Gauchos. MARJORIE KANN McKendree College, So. III. U., A.B., Latin II, III, IV, Inter Nos. This year we had a long sought addition to the language department. French, another of the romance languages, is being offered for the first time and has met with great success — in fact, a second year course is inevitable. The French Club, although in its embryonic stage, is formulating big plans for the coming year, with a trip to New Orleans as one of its possible ventures. So “nous verrons,” as they say in France. Spanish has always been a very popular language in our school, because of our proximity to our Latin-American neighbors. A large number of students are presently enrolled in this department, which offers a continuous program of four years. Many of the students increase their knowledge of this exciting language through the activities of Los Gauchos, the Spanish Club. Here members have the oppor- tunity to use the language through conducting meetings in Spanish, taking part in skits, and listening to native speakers. Their annual banquet is usually given at a Spanish restaurant and this year many members attended, as a group, the per- formance of Jose Greco in Tampa. Many students with an interest in the classics take Latin from which the Ro- mance Languages are derived. Four years of Latin are offered at C.H.S. The Latin Club, Inter Nos, is open to Latin students who have a high grade average and who want to learn more about the history and customs of the ancient Romans.
