Languages add world perspective With an increase in the total enroll- ment of the foreign language classes, there was an increase in the number of students in the beginning classes, but a decrease in the advanced classes. Mr. Carsey Gentry added tapes this year for the advanced Spanish classes to increase their listening comprehension. All the French, Latin and Spanish classes had films and records to add fun to their classes. Several of the advanced Spanish stu- dents competed in the I.U. Honors Pro- gram and the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese Na- tional Test. If one of the students would win in either contest, he would go to Mexico during the summer. Senior Sharon Esselborn, who took Spanish all four years, received the honor of being picked to put her pinata in the new Indianapolis Children ' s Mu- seum time capsule. Her pinata will be taken out in the year 2076. FAR LEFT— Mr. Carsey Gentry, head of the Foreign Language Department, shows Spanish b student Becky Crooks a visual display.

Manual ' s foreign language clubs were busy over the school year. The three clubs, French, Latin and Spanish, are among the most popular clubs at school. French club, under the leadership of president Damon Ground, mixed plea- sure with business at their club meetings as they played French oriented games after finishing business. Other club activ- ities included a trip to LaTour, a Christ- mas party and a picnic. Mr. David Phil- lips is the club sponsor. Latin club, sponsored by Mrs. Audrey Cronknite, included a picnic, a bowling trip and a Sturnalia or Christmas party. Club members went to Mrs. Cronknite ' s house for a swimming party. Following an annual tradition, the club also made posters for National Education week as did the other foreign language clubs. Also active this year was Spanish club. The club ' s happenings included a Span- ish cheerblock at homecoming, a Christ- mas Fiesta party, meetings with guest speakers and an end of the year taco party. Club member Vicki Robinson best summed up the interest in foreign lan- guage clubs by saying, Since foreign language classes and clubs are small, there is more unity within them. All language clubs combined to deco- rate the halls during American Education Week. The restrooms and hall around the language classes were lined with posters pleading for school spirit and for respect, in different languages. Trans- lations were included for the English speaking few. 28 Foreign Language Clubs
