Mr. Kavaliunas is the German teacher, here for his third year. M.A. U. of Vilnilis, Lithuania. Teaching Latin for the first time at Dyer is Mrs. Monbeck. A.B.; Butler University. Teaching Spanish this year is Mrs. Palmer. A.B.; Ursuline College Amo, Ich Liebe, Amo Why does any school offer courses in foreign languages? The answer is that students who have gained some know¬ ledge of a language other than their own are inclined to be more tolerant of other nationalities and to recognize them as people much like themselves. Spanish, German, Latin-each of these is offered at Dyer-each is a fascinating study. Not only the language, but also the dress, customs, and history of the country are delved into and examined. Larry Meyers receives valuable aid from Mr. Kava¬ liunas as Margaret Dust and Rosemarie Schubert look on. Judy Patchman and Cheryl Davis demonstrate Con¬ jugation of verbs to their first year Latin class.

An appreciation of fine literature and knowledge of how to recognize such literature are rewarding traits in any¬ one. Determinedly studying for College Boards is Mrs. Warren ' s first hour senior Eng¬ lish class, led by Cheryl Johnson. Puzzled over his sentence, Bill Miller refers to his text while Bob Van Houten fin¬ ishes his sentence. Judy Krueger consults Mr. Protsman about her problem.
