In answer to that, would you say Oni or what?Y If youve nex er taken lirench, perhaps you have at least heard members of the lirench class exchanging greetings in the halls hetween classes or at noon. This years beginning lirench class found out that French is not only fun to study but interesting and worth while. This fact is partly due to the sparkling enthusi.tsm that Monsieur Payne adds to the class. A foreign atmosphere prevails in class through the use of French titles, Another added attraction was the learn- ing of original French tarols and singing them at Christmas time. By studying a foreign lan- guage you gain an insight into the country's customs and also a better knowledge of their way of life in general. French is, indeed, an educational and cultural course. iropean traveler, Linda Vlfalceman, relates facts about her experiences in Paris. f N ii l 0 . 0 0 3 0, X X f Page 79

The elass sings carols and tells stories in Spanish of the Nativity Scene figurines, which they take with them from room to room. Since the students must speak Spanish in class, they learn to speak it fluently.
