Whether preparing for .college or a job after graduation, funda- mentals of English usage, gram- mar, spelling, writing, and vocabu- lary are important to students. Stu- dents receive individual help from Mrs. Jones in this senior English class. The most fascinating part of any subject is the use and practice of what is being learned. Fair Park's three speech courses give training in the use of body and voice, public speaking, debate, and dramatics. Practical lessons in job ap- plication and salesmanship are offered. The third year includes training in voice and diction for platform, radio and television. Book reports are one of the most pleasant assignments. Sue Doiron discovers.

English literature taught in the senior year be- comes a meaningful and entertaining experience as aids such as maps and posters are combined with textbooks and library reading.

A poster is made by Latin student, Jamie Bezucha. She shows it to her class and explains the details of importance. Much time is spent on extra projects by these students. Latin I students, besides learning vocabulary, grammar, derivations, and writing of English sentences, spend some time studying Roman life and culture. Students of French are guided in their study of the language by interesting bulletin boards prepared for their benefit and encouragement. Foreign languages promote understanding of other cultures. The French class students, Dorothy Ellis, Cynthia Watts, and Ronnie Smith, learn vocabulary, grammar and how to carry on a conversation in French as part of their study. 20
