JCL does model installation at state convention of interest in classical culture lias promoted a pro¬ gram of greater scope and appeal than students have formerly had. Latin may have killed the Romans but through the Junior Classical League, Latin students met their common foe, ' ' sub¬ jugated it, and even learned how it could serve them. They increased their knowledge of the peo¬ ple who spoke Latin and of the contributions of the Roman civilization to the new world. One program which all enjoyed featured old familiar songs in Latin translation. Imagine Row, Row, Row Your Boat sung enthusi¬ astically as a scrambled Latin round! Mrs. Madlin, adviser, and Prissy Wyrick, state JCL treasurer, went to Chapel Hill in November to help other state officers plan the state conven¬ tion with Dr. Ullman. At the convention, held in March, the C.HS chapter produced the afternoon program, a model installation ceremony. The Junior Classical League, enjoying its greatest membership this year, reflected the increase in size of the Latin Department. The inspiring rise OFFICERS OF JUNIOR CLASSIC I. LEAGUE are Stokes.

AMATEUR FRENCH students record pronouncing ability. Interpreting is a trial! enough time, one could participate in the crea¬ tive writing class. After sweating out a perfect paragraph, the writer presented his work to the class, which proceeded to dissect it with con¬ structive criticism. Writing problems were al¬ leviated in this manner. Many students felt they drew closer to a college level through these two classes. Mastering English is an art that is essential in the business world. In Business English in¬ dustrious students concentrated on perfecting their knowledge of spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary. The library at times resembled Grand Central Station. Filled to capacity all during the day, it was a haven for term paper researchers, book report worms, and even magazine browsers. Bible classes studied the Old Testament his¬ tory of the Jewish people and the life of Christ. With projects students shared learning and pursued particular interests. As the world gets smaller, students realize the need for speaking more than one language. Since France is so romantic and exciting, French was a popular language course. Post cards, letters from pen pals, magazines, and films facilitated learning and added spirit to classes. Strange languages present no problem for the UN interpreter who copes with the words oj many nationalities each day. BIBLE study reveals a vast era. great leaders, deep wisdom.

New chapter of Spanish honor society is formed There are twenty students here at Senior who intend to know what’s going on at the next bull¬ fight. What’s more, if they have an opportunity to visit Spain or the Latin American countries, they want to be able to find their way around and to know enough about the culture of these countries to be able to appreciate them. These students are the members of the newly organized Pedro Antonio de Alarcon Chapter of the Spanish National Honor Society. The society encourages scholarship in the study of Spanish and promotes interest in Spanish culture. Any student who maintained an honor average in the study of Spanish for at least two semesters may join. Whether or not the members will have an opportunity to see a bullfight or to go to Spain, at least they enjoy learning fascinating facts about a live language and lively people. SPANISH SOCIETY OFFICERS: President Williams, Parker. Watson, McGregor, Adviser Wales. LA ALIANZA ESPANOLA, Spanish Club, has interesting programs with Spanish refreshments.
