Language furthers understanding; aids Redskins in jobs and colleges Since the formation of the United Nations, and the opening of foreign countries to visitors, there has been a need to learn other languages. Junior Reva Williams stated, I took Spanish because I wanted to under- stand how other people live. Although many students drop a foreign language after taking it a year or so, this year ' s students have been among the best of all language levels over other years, comment- ed Mr. Carsey Gentry, foreign lan- guage department head. Many people took a foreign lan- guage simply to enjoy the pleasures of another language. Dawn Fisher, an excited Spanish V student said, I took Spanish because I thought I ' d like it. Sophomore Phyllis Whittemore said, There are so many advantages in being able to communicate with visitors, tourists, or just knowing the language. While there are people who may use their knowledge of a language for pleasure purposes, others might seek a job that enables them to use their language skills. Senior Kristi Manning said, Some colleges and jobs that I find desirable prefer that a person speak a second language. The major jobs of foreign lan- guages are bilingual secretaries, work with foreign relations, or work at the United Nations. Students of foreign languages said that the personalities of the teach- ers, Mrs. Audrey Cronkhite, Latin teacher; Miss Ann Manning, Span- ish teacher; and Mr. David Phillips, French teacher; encouraged further study in these languages. Darla Powell, senior said, The en- thusiasm of the teacher many times made many students continue in foreign language study. 1 — Mrs. Audrey Cronkhite assists her latin class with their assignment. 2 — French students are drilled on their vocabulary by Mr. David Phillips. 3 — Studying Spanish can be tun as these Spanish students learn of Spain ' s cultures. 4 — These french students are being given time in class to complete their assignment. 5 — Department Head, Mr. Carsey Gentry, helps students understand Spanish better with the assistance of a slide projector.
