Add Zest to Language Arts Expressing herself dramatically is Betty Ede as she presents a demonstration in Mr. Fischer's speech class. Proving that part of the role of a speech student is being a good listener are other members of the class as they give full attention to the speaker. Deep in concentration are both students and teacher as they solve the eternal struggle of verbs, adjectives, and nouns in their junior high English class under the instruction of Miss Paoletti.

New Courses, New Faces LOLA Z. ORMEROD Bachelor of Arts degree from the Uni- versity of Washington, St. Louis, Mis- souri. English. ALICE WEGLEITNER Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Bene- dict College. English. THOMAS J. GALVIN Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Thomas College. English. While English is offered to all students in all years of high school, a special course for seniors, basically college preparatory in nature, accelerated English, offered for the first time this year, is designed to meet increasing demands upon students for critical and evaluative reading, and concise and understandable writing . . . The first semester was devoted to practical composition, with a considerable portion of time out of class given to selected reading. The second semester gave emphasis to a survey of English literature, while continuing the frequent composition exercises, and the daily vocabulary building work. Speech includes not only the learning of speech skills, but also history and pre- sentation of drama. Highlighting the speech course was the extension of the speech project which was more detailed, including a 20-page term paper with diagrams and a 30-minute lecture. Journalism, taught by Mr. Rafferty, gives the student practice in the writing and mechanics of newspapers, and an understanding of the function of newspapers in modern society. THIS IS HOW IT WORKS . . . explain Seniors Mike Trepanier and Carol Sandstrom to a group of ardent accelerated English students as they point out the various features of a model of The Globe Theater used by Shakespeare. In addition to a study of Shakespeare and other English authors, this newly-organized college preparatory course under the instruction of Mr. Rafferty, deals with composition writing. 12

Buenos Dios, That's good morning, class, explains Mrs. Szabla as she instructs her Spanish 1 class. PAUL RAFFERTY Bochelor of Arts degree from St. Thomas College. English, Latin, and Journalism. Back for a second year, Mr. Raffery's Latin II students con- centrated primarily on transla- tion of material pertaining to Caesar's Gallic wars and an- cient Greece and Rome. Addi- tional grammar and syntax, as well as vocabulary, provide a background for language courses offered to students in college. The new Spanish class of- fered this year proved to be a real success stated instructor, Mrs. Szabla. A spicy Spanish dinner, held in The Boca Chica Broiler, served to acquaint stu- dents with Spanish food and customs. Besides learning to speak and be understood in Spanish, Mrs. Szabla's students acquired new concepts of Spanish-American culture. Spanish is similar to Latin in that it acts as a stepping stone to college courses.
