Nanita Lucretia ENGLISH CHALLENGES INTEREST; AS YOUR IDEAS HAVE VALIDITY English was interesting and. challenging. Through characters in literature, students shared experiences they may never have themselves. As readers, they stepped outside their nor- mal lives into the character's being portrayed. In addition, by developing a better usage of grammar they learned to communicate better. Each class focused on dif- ferent areas. Freshmen studied grammar, composi- tion and analyzed the Diary of Anne Frank, the romantic Romeo Juliet, and Greek mythology. Sophomores concentrated on World Literature. They enjoyed the stories of All Quiet on the Western Front, The Odyssey and Les Miserables. Even more was in store for Juniors and Seniors. Daily journals, frequent essays and sentence combinations were a part of Junior’s work-load. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s most famous novel, The Scarlet Letter, the gruesome tale of Moby Dick, The Crucible, based on the Salem witch hunt trials, and the works of Emerson and Thoreau rounded out Junior readings. However, the Seniors not only did journals and many essays some created son- nets styled after English and Italian writers. Admittedly English was difficult, but students learn- ed how to express their thoughts clearly and concisely. Maureen James Cranford Creeks ispi is Curley Danielsen

“LE GRADE” IS ASSET TO FOREIGN LANGUAGE Foreign language students at Encinal were drilled and worked into learning the essentials of French and Spanish. In sixteen Classes, more than 200 hundred students acquired the flair for Spanish, or went through the corridors of school flaunting their French. Preparing themselves for life in the multicultural fast lane students studied the customs, ideas, and the languages of France and Spain. Instructors’ control of out of hand students included the use of modern mechanical wizardry: recorders, slide pro- jectors, and the ultimate weapon, “LE GRADE.” With Glenn Fong leading French and Keri Spaulding, along with Betty Rice directing Spanish, students were en- couraged in the time tedious task of learning vocabulary, rules, and the etiquettes of foreign language. Luckily with the introduction of films, tape recordings, and sometimes food, and singing, the learning experience was not only beneficial, but also fun.
