Vest B.S.; Radford College; French; English; Modern For- eign Language Club Sponsor And Flavor To Study Of Foreign Languages A tremendous help to Mr. Nix’s students in mastering the correct pronounciation and accent of Spanish is the new language lab. Students today are becoming increasingly aware of the many advantages reaped from the study of a foreign language. Countries that had once been vague shadows in their minds came vividly alive as they progressed in the study of French, Latin, or Spanish. The student, in his first year of study, found the greatest emphasis placed on grammar and vocabulary. As he endeav- ored into his second year, he advanced into independent research and reading. Third year students of Spanish or Latin advanced even further into preparing term papers and other related work. This past year, the addition of a modern language labora- tory aided students by providing an opportunity to improve pronounciation. This laboratory also provided an opportunity for the teachers to give assistance to individual students with- out disturbing the entire class.

This past year pupils’ understanding of government was further enriched by speeches given to the student body by candidates for Lieutenant Governor, J. Sargent Reynolds and “Buzz Dawbarn.
