Audio-Lingual Aids Language Classes Interested in speaking other tongues, 900 stu- dents filled the classrooms of seven foreign lan- guage teachers this year. Headed by Miss Patricia Terry, the department used the audio-lingual method of teaching. First year students took their chances at speaking the foreign tongue without seeing written words for the first six weeks, after which reading and writing were mastered. French, German, Latin and Spanish offered the Dons a chance to become familiar with the customs and language common to the various countries.

English . . . Gateway To Various Fields Stemming from the English curriculum, the spirited speech classes and the ever busy iournalism depart- ment were important paths for interested Dons. ln- structing the eight speech classes were Mrs. Thelma Wortmann and Mr. James Newcomer, who stressed the importance of proper enunciation for advance- ment in future jobs and positions in today's world. Together with advising the Explorer and Trail staffs, Mrs. Dorothy Piercey taught two beginning journalism classes, entailing newspaper techniques first semester and yearbook second. The wonderful world of words was opened to Dons through the almost 4,000 books and magazines in the library. Miss Jane Smith, librarian, worked to expand her department's facilities this second year of its existence.
