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.

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.

Mr. Edelman helps American history students ]oyce Strickland, Martha Rushing, and Clay Robbins in the selection of a few of the books which they will use in research. SOCIAL STUDIES One unit of American history is required to graduate from Garinger. During the year students study the major events which have helped shape our American society. Emphasis is placed on the colonization of the New World, the American Revolution, the Civil War, Recon- struction, and the two World Wars. Other periods such as the Federalist Era, the Jacksonian Era, the reform move- ments, and the rise of industry and labor are also covered. Students are encouraged to do as much outside reading as possible. Research papers and book reports lead them in that direction. Current events are discussed in class and sometimes arc used as topics for special reports. A clear understanding of American history is essential for good citizenship. Top Row. Mr. Robert O.
