Whatever it is. it can be found in the Jeff foreign language department. Two languages are offered. Latin and Spanish. anfl the students of these languages hat e tu o year courses offered them. Several generations ago our grandparents, and later our parents, would complain. Latin killed all the Romans, and now its killin' us. Fortunately times have changed and our generation need haw- few worries about living through a Latin course. It is an interesting, beneficial course whose after effects tend to be an ease in picking up other lan- guages. It is taught by Miss Carolyn Griffin. For a little beauty in your life-try the Spanish language. lt rolls off your tongue like honey fwhen you have learned to speak itt and is absolutely melodious. Spanish is, as most other languages. helpful in learning other languages. A little of the pageantry of Spanish and South American history naturally goes hand in hand with the language of this people. It is taught by Mr. Raymond Mc- Glothlin. Hr. Raymond Kit,-Ulothlin. Spanish teacher, gives a little friendly hoard instruwtion to several first year Spanish students. W MIM Page 23
