And well plant the bomb here. Mrs. Heinbaugh explains the construction of the Eiffel Tower to comrades-in-arms David Moore, Delores Nance, and Ann Elmore. Foreign Languages The installation of three classroom language labora- tories has made possible more effective work in the spoken language at every level. In the first of the four years of French offered at Garinger, students become fluent in many basic speech patterns while acquiring a foundation in grammar. The second year takes them into more advanced grammar, in- creases vocabulary, and stresses oral and reading com- prehension and the ability to express ideas in speech and in writing. Third and fourth year courses, conducted entirely in French, emphasize literature, conversation, and composi- tion. Students read the works of many French authors, discuss them, and use them as topics for compositions. Top Row: Miss Nancy K. Blakely University North Carolina, A.B., M.Ed.

Blackwell Universit y of North Carolina, A.B. English 10; English 11 Much of senior English is devoted to an intensive study of literature. The course attempts to develop the student ' s ability to understand, interpret, criticize, and appreciate literature. Selections studied include chiefly the works of English authors, from Chaucer through such recent au- thors as Conrad and Hardy. Several Shakespearian plays are studied. The Greek classic, Oedipus Rex, is included with Macbeth in the unit on tragedy. Writing clearly, correctly, and effectively is empha- sized through the year in numerous compositions related to the literature being studied. Every senior is required to prepare at least one research paper. Ronnie Hough, ]ean Hinson, Franklin Gosnell, and (hack row) Larry Ford, Cindy Bowen, and Donnie Robertson stir up a witches brew of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns during a presentation of Macbeth in Miss Balle ' s senior English class. Now that you have completed your preliminary research . . . Mrs. Freeh gives assistance to research seminar students Bob Harris and }oan McCarty. 4

During the first two years the student learns the principles of pro- nunciation, and acquires a good foundation in grammar. Third year Spanish emphasizes literature, composition, and conversation. Work in the language laboratory help s the pupil to ac- quire a good pronunciation and to develop fluency in the spoken language. Garinger ' s Latin Department, headed by Miss Cath- erine Clegg, offers four years of Latin. During the first two years students acquire a thorough foundation in grammar. In the third and fourth years strong emphasis is placed upon literature as students be- come familiar with the works of Cicero and Virgil. The more advanced courses also deal with the historical, cultural backgrounds of the language. Students find a knowledge of Latin very helpful in other language courses, since French and Spanish, both Romance languages, are derived chiefly from Latin, and English shows many Latin influences. Is it Cervantes or Castro? It cotdd be either as Spanish students Brenda Whitehill, Brenda Williams, Faye Templeton and Mr. Browning use Garinger ' s new language lab. Dennis Carroll would unlock this Latin III passage if Miss Clegg xvoidd only explain the meaning of et to him.
