Senior Cathi Flynn proudly displays her French trophy for first place in the city-wide division of the National French Contest. Language Students Discover New Horizons Modern languages give an insight into the time and customs of people removed from our every-day envi- rons. They open new avenues of thought and interest us not only in our own country but also in the various nations of the world, both ancient and modern. Linguists pursue French, Spanish, or Russian. In first-year studies, the principles of grammar and pro- nunciation are mastered, while in subsequent years stu- dents study conversation and composition, and the civilization and literature of the native countries.
