Communication Concepts Latin and Spanish were the two foreign languages offered at Hauser. Mrs. Nancy Wagner instructed the Latin Courses, and Mrs. Joyce Isreal taught Spanish. Students taking Spanish learned not only to read and to translate the language, but with the aid of the language lab, they also learned how to converse. Conversations presented in Spanish by the students improved their skill in speaking the language. Latin students worked hard translating stories of Roman mythology and studying the history of the people. They also made projects concerning life in Roman times. Students discovered that many English words and expressions were derived from Latin, proving that it is not such a dead language after all. The New English program began with students studying both literature and grammar throughout the year. The senior English classes, taught by Mrs. Nancy Wagner and Mr. Gerald Jordan, worked on compositions with diligence. Mr. Jordan’s Junior English classes wrote term papers and book reports. American literature was also studied and discussed during the year. Films on famous American authors were shown. Speech class under Mrs. Wickens offered an opportunity for developing poise and acquiring the ability to speak properly. The students increased their vocabularies and prepared for public speaking in future years. HERE IT IS ... Sophomore Karen Alvis points out a declension chart to Senior Rosanna Davis in their Latin II class. “DEFEND YOUR OPINION” Mr. Jordan listens as one of his students speaks his mind on a controversial subject. 21
