Students Study Tapes, Enter Contests “Pongan Un Lapiz Encima De La Cabeza” — Jerry Amos, Mary Robson, Red Tipton demonstrate their knowledge of Spanish commands. With oral work composing one fourth of their course, Spanish I students strove to spend at least 45 minutes per week working with the tape recorders in Room 5. These tapes, cover- ing grammar drills, aural comprehension, and Spanish pronunciation, supplemented the students’ study of basic grammar from the textbook. Second year Spanish students, in addition to more advanced grammar, worked for aural comprehension through translation of tapes. In an effort to understand the current events of Latin American countries, the students studied the geography and the history of each. For the first time students in Latin I, II, and III entered the creative writing contest sponsored by the Classical Association of Virginia. They were required to write without assistance an original story or poem in Latin. Latin I students worked to learn basic grammar and vocabulary with special emphasis on Latin derivatives in the English Language. Latin II featured a study of the writings of Julius Caesar with an introduction to Vergil and Ovid. Cicero — Miss Laura Thornhill, standing , assists Pat Akers in translating English sentences into Latin as Phyllis Cothran, Dick Bell, Emily Button, and Scott Crafton work on theirs. 20
