mmm ■ Is Splashed With Shakespearean Hues Students use the vocabulary increasing aud-ex machine. Tom Zato loads a gun for his demonstration speech. Shakespeare’s hues, shades of Frost, and glitters of Mark Twain colored a canvas of English literature for 1966- 67. While reading romanticism to contemporary litera¬ ture, students also brushed up on English grammar and usage. Advanced Composition students pictured themselves in Greece while reading the plight of Oedi¬ pus Rex They then journeyed to the Globe Theatre to study the tragedy of Hamlet. Junior literature classes found themselves atop Moby Dick, while the sophomore literature classes glanced at a picture of ancient Rome through the play Julius Caesar. Medieval shades of Ivanhoe splashed through the minds of frosh literature students. Poetry, short stories, novels, and essays added the finishing touches to a picture of literature. Speech and debate classes, two combining pastels pro¬ vided a glimpse of new confidence. Demonstration, in¬ formative, and ice-breaker speeches were presented in speech class. Topics on world affairs flashed by debaters. Cathy Bajda acts out a scene for her final in drama class.

Language Barriers Crack As Landscapes of culture and background in foreign lands dents. The language department offers an educational and interesting program for Latin, French, German, and Spanish students. Language labs added an audial ef¬ fect to a picture of foreign lands. While translating Caesar and Cicero, young Romans learned about daily Roman life in Latin classes. Frosh, sophomore, and Ad¬ vanced Latin classes prepared projects on daily Roman life. Grammar, French novels, and skits aided French students for a better knowledge of the French language. German students looked at glimpses of educational and interesting lanscapes of German songs, William Tell, vocabulary, and grammar. Filmstrips on daily Spanish living, Spanish songs, and translations helped students gain a better knowledge of the Spanish language. The language department this year proved to be a landscape well viewed. The basic umlaut vowel is mastered in first year German. That day, Mrs. Calvert requires both boys and girls to bring mirrors. Advanced Latin scholars George Yearsich and Sharon Kulasak demonstrate the persuasive oratory of Cicero.
