Customs Of Foreign Lands Learning a new language was a stimulating and intriguing task that was enjoyed by many students. Each one was spurred on by the realization that as the world was growing smaller day by day, an understanding of the language and customs of past civilizations and modern countries was vitally essential. Latin students found the language very much alive in our own civilization as their study progressed from basic founda- tions to various forms of Latin literature. An understanding of grammar and pronunciation as well as an understanding of the geography, life, and history of France were impressed upon each French student. The gay world of our Spanish neighbors was brought into sharper focus for individuals engaged in the study of the Spanish language. As students constantly practiced speaking, (writing, and reading the language, soon they reached a point of ‘ proficiency sin comprehending the aspects of Spanish. Mrs. Donna N. Vest JY yh B.S.; Radford College; French; French Club Sponsor Mrs. Scherer’s class finds that an important part of first year Spanish is learning to conjugate verbs. William Lemon, Sue Cook, Paul Wray, and Randy Carter practice speaking to each other in Spanish to improve their pronunciation and sharpen their knowledge of verb usage. 27
